So I went back to Check with him again to see if it was ok and he told me to talk to my other manager. So he agreed and I went to grab my things to leave and my manger was screaming and yelling. It upset me to the Point when I got home and cried and now I'm considering quiting but I enjoy working there and it pays pretty good but I don't want to wait around for my manager to have another meltdown. I really could use some advice. Reply to this Question

While he is throwing a fit don't take it personally but as the other responder said, take your mind elsewhere or ponder why this person yelling at you is venting so loudly and vociferously. I think it shows immaturity and a gross lack of respect for other people.
I put up with hysteria like that and it made me contemptuous of the workplace I was at and finally quit in disgust as it was endemic to the corporate culture.

But, since you don't have one of those,, then you have to raise your "manager". (by the way you left out why junior was yelling like an idiot..)Knothead gave instruction, "check with other manager". (which you did true) But, just before going to check, simply restate knothead's instructions,, "Ok,, I'll check with manager (b) Then when Manager (b) says "ok,,go home", return immediately and tell knothead,, "I did as you instructed and Manager (b) said it was ok for me to leave, So if there's nothing else you want me to do?, I'll be leaving now." Then if knothead starts yelling at you ask him, "why are you yelling at me? I did exactly what you told me to do.Do NOT back down and melt into a puddle of tears, he's being the ass not you, make him account for his actions and rediculous behavior !!Do not just stand there and space out or daydream and let him act like a moron toward you. It sounds like you have already allowed him to act like a horses ass and make it "your fault".. It's his problem not yours !Just standing there spacing out or daydreaming while he yells says more about you than it does him. You've just let both bosses know your a pushover and can be treated anyway they want to treat you. LOL.. I've probably got underwear older and wiser than your "manager"... :-)

Don't worry about it. All managers have meltdowns like this, and I'm afraid it's something working people have to put up with. I know this might sound stupid, but when you hear your boss yelling, try doing what I used to, which was to just daydream. It made it all go away. Either that, or if it get's really bad, report him/her
