I would tell the highest level of management.
Mind your own business unless and until your testimony is requested by an authority figure. It's always best to mind your own business at work. You're being paid to perform a job not to be the office security system...
yes you can that would be very warong if you couldn't
Tell them to harden up and put out whenever is required. ______________________ Alternate view: There are two highly charged words here: abuse, and supervision. It appears this is a workplace issue, but the meaning of 'abusive' in this context is not clear. No one should have to put up with any abusive treatment by a supervisor, no matter what the job, or how 'important' the supervisor is. A worker may need to hear critical things in a supervision; that is part of what supervision is about, and a critical assessment of one's performance, if done well, cannot be construed as abuse. But actual abuse is NOT acceptable, regardless of the need. Your colleague needs to report this to Human Services, or the grievance officer, or some other company manager/director at a similar level. This should be reported particularly if it involved physical contact, obvious coersion to perform sexual favors in exchange for benefits at work or psychological assault. If it was an isolated incident of a supervisor using unwanted colorful language, the colleague might be ok with asking that it stop, and then promptly reporting it if it continues. Some features of harrassment at work are that it be unwanted by the recipient, and that it be on-going. Lawyers are clever, and the victim cannot make the broad assumption that something is 'unwanted' because the victim privately considers it repulsive. If the perp has not been informed, they may be a problem. But some of the above items would cross the line and merit immediate attention. So if someone who should know better asks you for a date, you make it clear that that area is off limits, and it then stops, the person who asked may be vulgar and repulsive but not necessarily deserving of very harsh punishment.
It does often happen that people will learn how to get their way through verbal aggression, from their own experiences of being verbally abused. Life is an endless learning experience, but sometimes people learn the wrong things. Answer I think it COULD happen but I think it would be the exception and not the rule. Victims in these kinds of situations are usually not abusive types of people - that's why they are victims. If it is an adult who grew up in a verbally abusive environment they may be the victim for a while and then finally snap and turn the tables and become the abuser but I think in most circumstances the victim would not become the abuser in the next relationship.
Only he alone knows how he feels, but, my guess would be he'd have resentment towards you because in his abusive state towards you (the victim) he does not truly believe he has done anything wrong. Abusers take total control of their victims and they feel that the victim is their property just like their home and car. Jail or prison time does not generally help abusers nor does counseling. The stats are very low that abusers will ever change. Good for you for taking this abusive behavior to the court system and you should be proud of yourself. Marcy
because why would you want to be with someone who is abusive towards you
If a floating supervisor wishes to become a category supervisor, they can apply in the same way that a non-supervisor would, by sending an email to the appropriate email address.
I am sure that it would depend on the abusive ex-husband.
If you would like to get in touch with a supervisor consult the one in the category you are having issues with. For example I could be the lead supervisor for "Answers" for instance. You contact me and I would be able to help you.

AnswerSome women can, others can not. This is dependent on your situation, and the relationship that you have with your children. Often, if they are close to your abusive partner; taking them will not be an option. That would only become an option after a court case. Taking your children with you is often a favorable decision, especially if they are young. However, if taking them increases your chances of being hurt - do not do it. The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when the victim leaves, so do not place yourself in additional danger. You must assess the situation.
