look for a new job. ask for a transfer. accept new job, give two weeks notice, bounce. i've read the Stanford prof's books on dealing with aholes, etc. -- it's all fantasy. maybe there's something out there that could work, but i doubt it. my general take on these situations is that they are all identical, across industries. Things have not changed, and they will most likely not change until some crazy culture shift happens at work. I don't see it on the horizen but a 4-day work week is coming, so who knows? and, not really pertinent to the outcome, but i am curious if he was around during the interview, and/or if you inquired if there were an aholes on the team or supervising you. i'd guess not, but i've been in situations where even people who were not outwardly prototypical assholes -- more like 'nice guys' -- turn out to be real assholes, and they hide well in plain site during interviews.
