Scenario III: My boss has a terrible temper and tends to yell at/insult me in front of everyone. This is very embarrassing and affects my self-esteem and productivity. How do I handle this?

Solution: First, evaluate whether your boss is nice otherwise.

If, yes talk to him/her in calmer times. Gradually, things will improve.
