Fuck him!

Yet another dingbat attorney. Where do they get these people anyways?

Krak.N.up...

#1 - your office manager didn't talk about it because she didn't find it important enough to. He IS your boss, even if he was insensitive and she obviously doesn't want to confront him on it. She also wasn't involved, didn't hear it herself and can perhaps, let the rudeness of others NOT affect her overall outlook. If this is all it takes to get you so worked up, perhaps you'd better examine why.

#2 - If rude boss needs to be 'talked to' by anyone, it should be YOU.
You were the one so easily offended so YOU should tell him he offended you. Being insensitive is not illegal and there were no laws broken, only the bump to your ego. Why don't you take what he said as constructive instead of destructive and lower your voice at the office. It could turn out to be a positive thing if you only let it and that's the best revenge. Unless you're campaigning for his job, try to do as the guy asked; we ALL learn some things the hard way.

Don't listen to that twat. Your boss was completely out of line, and next time he does something like that, I'd tell hkm straight to go fuck himself. Being the boss does not give him the right to speak to you like that and if he thinks it does, it's time he learned otherwise. People like that need a good kicking. If any boss spoke to me like that, he'd been on the fucking floor. He was obviously having a bad day, Well tough, he still has no right whatsoever to take it out on you. I don't know what kind of pussywhipped yesman KrakNup is, but anyone who wants to keep their self-respect doesn't put up with outrageous shit like that.

I work with at least one "loudmouth" and it is a running joke about how this person can be heard throughout the building due to the loudness. This person's problem is not the volume (which is just the normal speaking level of that individual and not offensive in itself) but more what this person is saying. Basically, a blowhard. This person tends to power trip and be a bit of an ass about what should and shouldn't be said. But I would draw the line at this person's manager specifically pointing this out. And I would, despite my dislike for this person, strongly support them in fighting a threat to their job over it. It would definetly be discriminatory. Now, I am sure you are not a loudmouth or a blowhard, and probably have a normal voice, but have in some way irked this man, or he was just looking for someone to piss on that day. Perhaps he sees you as a threat because you are knowledgeable, I don't know. Or maybe he is just a flaming asshole (the most likely senario)
In any case, do not let it rob you of your self esteem in any way or wound you to the point where you come to tears over it. That is very hurtful, you are right, and he probably knows that it would affect you that way. Probably taking pot shots either because he has an already inflated sense of importance and entitlement or he is just your garden variety arrogant shyster lawyer. Sorry, but I don't hold lawyers in high esteem to start with.
In any case, do not let it take anything away from you.
And if he says it again, challenge him, ask him to put the threat in writting and see how fast he back pedals. After all he is a lawyer, he should know better.

Pratmeister:

Obviously, you don't have much work experience behind you. Stellergirl asked for advice, I gave her mine. If you think that you'll survive in the business world by telling off everyone that offends you or makes a rude remark, you are mistaken. It will never stop. No matter what business you go to, the dramas all play out the same. The players may change roles, but the game never dies.

I gave her advice to toughen up, talk to her asshole boss directly and make her feelings known and to NOT depend on others to fight her battles for her. Perhaps the old geezer had a point, I don't know. But if her voice annoys him, it probably annoys others and she needs to be aware of this, especially for her future jobs.

F your boss! next time he says something to you like that, you should tell him exactly where to go...

I used to work for a law firm. What a giant collection of anuses it was! And the partners were the worst. What makes them so successful in court is their ability to be coarse and abrasive. Unfortunately, this very thing that makes them succesful in Law makes them difficult to work around. The more like legal sandpaper they become the bigger their egos get and the higher up they go in the firm. The only saving grace about that firm was the pay and benefits were exceptional, but the day to day experience was horrific. I remember a few pleasent attorneys in that place, but a large bunch of them were walking sandpaper.

dont u wish you can stand up to him and say FUCK OFF !

Take revenge. add water in CPU

and other stuff

Quite honestly, i hate lawyers. I think they're all assholes, they don't do anything except clog up the legal system and waste everyone's time. I think the whole BAR is a big fag nazi toilet headed shithole...bunch of golddiggers

I have a loud voice by nature. What's even worse is when my poor Dad was alive and under hospice care, he lost his hearing and we had to yell into his ears. I am also very opinionated and half Italian, which doesn't help either! Anyway some people don't like me b/c I talk loudly sometimes. It hurts my feelings too; like they think I am not supposed to have any. Those people that hurt you need to look the hell at themselves and see what's wrong with THEM and not you. I just wanted you to know you are not alone! God bless you sweetie!

A loud and proud Italian grandma

p.s. Fuck this job!
