Today at work the boss was trying to sell a TV. Turns out he was selling one that I already had sold. He called me over and asked if if was sold. I said, "Yes, thats why its tagged as sold." (Its a $4k plasma TV that is part of a $15,000 deal) He starts getting all worked up because he screwed up and told his customer it was in stock. He tells me he is going to sell it and try to get another one in for my customer, and I tell him that my customer could come in anytime wanting it. He keeps getting madder and madder until he starts swearing at me. I tell him not to swear at me. He says. "I willl do what I want and I am going to sell this TV." I tell him he cant since its paid for. He get about 2 inches from my face and says "I'll kick you @ss!" I tell him not to threaten me. He gets this weird look in his eyes and says "I'll kill you, you little mother <fill in the blank>"
At this time I decide I need to either walk away or things are going to get nasty. I tell him he isnt going to do anything and that I dont have to be treated like that. It just so happens that our regional manager was there today. Our regional is about 3 steps above the boss that was threatening me. I go to punch out with my boss following me yelling at me. He realizes that his boss is there and cools out. I am still worked up so I tell the both of them that I dont deserve to be treated like that at work, and that me leaving wouldnt be the end of this.
The regional takes me aside and tells me to cool off until my boss' customer leaves. Fair enough. After his customer leaves we all go in back for a little meeting. My boss of course denies everything and his boss takes his side (he would have to in order to cover the company's rear.) The regional tells me that I need to get over it and "pull the weed out of my ass." Then the regional said he had to leave.
This really sucks. I dont know if I even want to go back to work. I dont know what my options are, but I definately plan on finding out.
CLIFF NOTES:
I get into an argument with my boss
Boss threatens to kick my read/kill me
His boss tells me to get over it
I dont know what to do next
