I don't suppose where you work is large enough to have an HR department is it?

Unacceptable behavior by bosses is tricky and bringing them up can be difficult especially in a small business where it's going to be very clear who made the complaint.

As someone in HR I HIGHLY recommend documenting things, dates, times witnesses when it comes to any behavioral problem. It's easier than ever now, you can just pull out your phone and make a quick email to yourself like:

Mr. Boss threw a box at Jimmy and called him a idiot, ignoring him when he explained that the job took an extra hour because of a faulty thing-a-ma-jig. Jimmy, Bob and I all were present. April 10th, 3 pm

If his behavior escalates and ever leads to something that could be action on the part of the owners, or if he ever tries to dismiss someone wrongly in the midst of a tantrum or if you ever find yourself in a position where this actually leads to stress leave or a harassment case THIS will protect you and your fellow employees. If you ever do wind up in a position where you need to go over his head or speak to HR THIS will be extremely valuable as well.

When it comes to work place behavior problems always remember, document, document, document.
