Today, I found out that my boss of 2 years not only doesn't know my name, but calls me "Jew hair" behind my back because of my natural ringlets. This man determines all of my career progression. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Power trip
Today, my boss shouted and screamed at me for my fuck ups that have humiliated the company and cost thousands to put right. It was only when he paused that I was able to tell him he had the wrong guy, he wanted my coworker down the hall. I’ve been here for four years and he still doesn’t know my name. FML
Today, my boss told me that, while he respects the fact that I have my own style, I have to stop wearing "that hideous wig" because apparently, it "makes the clientele uncomfortable". I don't have a wig. It's my natural hair. FML
Today, my boss told me to cut my long hair. After coming back to work with a clean cut hairstyle, he apparently thought I was the new guy, and said I was going to be trained by "The long-haired girly-looking idiot." FML
Nice meeting you
Today, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML
Today, I found out my boss likes to shit talk about me when I'm not around. The best part is that I don't know what I've done to piss him off. FML
Today, I found out the reason I can't get a job. My previous employer didn't know my name, so when places I applied to called there for a reference, my boss said he had no recollection of me working there. FML
Who am I?
Today, after being with the company for over 3 years, I realised nobody really knows my name. This was after my boss was walking around a new staff member and couldn't introduce me. Neither could my colleague, who's been sitting next to me for the last 6 months. FML
Today, I gave my boss a nickname. Everyone thought it was funny. Unfortunately, "The Troll" was behind me and heard everything. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, my boss called me Ashley. My name doesn't even start with an A. I even wear a name tag. You would think after nearly four years, your boss would remember your name. Every time he speaks to me, it's a different name. FML

Quit. Why stay with a boss/company if they can't even remember your name and on top of calling you some sort of racial slur.

It's not that easy. OP may not be able to afford losing her steady income. Start looking for another job if OP is unhappy would be a better suggestion.
AyeJay101 25
Well of course OP shouldn't quit on the spot, but seek other employment first then quit and report the person if there's anyone higher than him.

Boss calls you the wrong name so you quit. Flawless logic especially in this economy >.>

It's not because of the wrong name #12, it's because of the racial slur. If he's saying shit like that, what else is he saying?

#18 last time I checked being Jewish is a religion not a race.

It's both.

#24 - Judaism is definitely an ethnic group/ethnicity (cultural group, shared practices, etc).Coming from a Jewish family, I've never heard it specifically heard it referred to as a race. Some people say it is. Some people say it isn't. I've always understood race as a genetic thing, something you can't change, like being white or black. And Jews come from various races. Like making an insult against a Chinese or Mexican person isn't specifically racist. Ethnic slurs are not ok within the work place and there are laws to protect oneself from them.

@43 The definition of a race is, from a sociological perspective, an identity projected onto a group of people by the perception of either shared physical characteristics or common descent. That is, it is subjective based on the observer. It is hard to argue that that the Jewish community does not often fall within this definition, not least because it is about perception, not objective reality, We can argue about the merits of that perception, of course: some people strongly identify with a racial identity and others just don't see or feel it. From a sociological point of view, race is a useful concept to help understand how different groups of people interact with each other. From a genetic point of view, there are no races: there is minor genetic variation between groups long indigenous to Africa and the rest of the world and some traits are relatively rare outside of their populations of origin (e.g. lactose tolerance), but even all that amounts to so little variation that talking about race to geneticists will likely just earn you the same look that a psychiatrist would give a phrenology advocate. None of which changes the fact that OPs boss is way out of line making any sort of crack like that, no matter how you slice it. OP should either look for a new job or see about transferring out of his oversight. And definitely let HR know. Sorry OP, FYL.

Ask to talk to him in private, and discuss it if it really bothers you. If that doesn't work, there's always Human Resources. Good luck!

Call him Asshole, it seems to fit him.

The boss would probably in turn call OP "unemployed"

I call my boss much worse names behind his back

Someone I used to work with always referred to our boss, as "pos". At first it sounds like a slight mispronunciation. I later found out it was an inside joke and stood for "piece of shit".

I call my boss "ass munch" to his face. Of course, we've been friends for years...

Your boss is a dick plain and simple, try and do your best to leave to a better company in a more comfortable situation

invite him to have a drink so he can get to know you
Colon_Man 17
Mrs Boss might not like that.

Some things you just have to live with, be it shitty bosses that call you Jew hair, or shitty jobs, you just have to live with it. Don't worry though, people like him get fired and have a harder time succeeding in life.

There are many places you can find a work home and be shown the respect of not being called racial names as well as being addressed by your own name.
