There is no legitimate reason, for your boss to be a "bad boss". If, you are a teenager, the first thing you should do is tell your parents exactly what is going on. Tell them what your boss has said to you, if you boss has touched you inappropriately, or even spoken to you rudely using inappropriate words/"bad words." Do not be embarrassed to tell your parents exactly what is happening: How, when, where, how many times and any other information, which will help your parents determine the next step.
The laws for employment of teenagers are very specific and bosses who break the laws, regarding treatment of teenagers will be punished severely for "treating teenagers badly". So, go talk with your parents and do not go to work again until you have talked with them and received guidance from them.
If, you are an adult, there are similar steps for you to follow depending upon what "bad boss" means in your situation. If, you mean the boss is rude, approves of nothing you do, yells at you, there is not a lot you can do except change jobs. If, you mean the boss is demanding and expects work completed on time and well done, when it is not, he/she gets angry, yells, swears, etc., I would have to say to this boss: Your display of anger is not appreciated and it certainly is not necessary. I am asking you to refrain from this type behavior. Such treatment of employees is breaking the law and I would hate to turn you in for this, but I will, if it does not stop.
A lot of times bosses just do not realize how insensitive, rude, crude and unattractive their behavior can become. The shock effect of you "talking back" sometimes wakes them up to reality.
If, there are specific words and actions, which could be considered sexual harassment/discrimination, you should report this to the appropriate authorities. If, you work where there is someone in authority above your boss or a Human Resource department, then you go to either of these offices and file a formal complaint. Document exactly what your boss said or did, the times, dates, and name of anyone who may be a witness.
Bosses can be real jerks sometimes and there is a big difference between a "jerk boss and a bad boss". Some bosses just are too young, too inexperienced and lacking in life skills to be a good boss. The job goes to their head and they just do not know how to treat people. Sometimes in these cases, we can change the attitudes of bosses with kindness and good example by practicing good people skills. Sometimes a "bad boss" is a "bad person" and we need to find a new job ASAP! Good luck with your situation!
