FORTUNE — Dear Annie: A friend of mine sent me your column about five ways to cope with an autocratic boss, but I’m facing a problem with my immediate supervisor that is actually quite a bit worse. Since I started this job about two months ago (it’s my first “real” job out of college), my boss has become a nightmare. He constantly snipes at everything I do, makes sarcastic remarks, and about once a week has a totally out-of-control screaming fit where he calls me, and a couple of my coworkers, names I don’t even want to repeat.

Hard times for workers: Hollywood says time to laugh
Friday, August 27th, 2010
NBC’s new fall show “Outsourced” and New Line Cinema’s 2011 movie “Horrible Bosses” speak volumes about our attitudes toward job loss and abusive workplaces. Both projects promote dilbert-like fun while simultaneously mocking employees. It’s all a distraction to prevent our focus on employers making horrific decisions — dumping working Americans on the street while chasing cheap labor elsewhere or propping up horrific bullies instead of purging them. Are they laughing at us or with us?
