How bad is the job market? My boss just yelled at me yesterday and I really don’t want to continue to put up with that.

The job market in general isn't great. You'll see articles lately talking about a white collar recession, the idea that the overall economic numbers are good but some professional fields are hurting. But, it all depends on your own circumstances and location. You might as well start putting out feelers and seeing what's available. No need to put up with verbal abuse in the office.

It's not bad. Never allow that kind of direspect from anyone, including your boss.

I understand. It happened to me and I took it to HR and he apologized and said it should’ve happened. It also said he would take some management training. You don’t have accepted that kind of behavior. Good Luck 🍀

Thank you. He overpromised for a client and is trying to get my coworker and I to do a months worth of work in about a week. He yelled and said you guys aren’t working fast enough. I have 3 other clients so it’s not possible to do what he is asking for.

I feel like we still have some opportunity out there, of course it depends a lot on where you are at. I think if you are really ready to try and move on it absolutely does not hurt to see what is out there and try for something else. Don’t know if you don’t try. Not worth putting up with being yelled at especially if you don’t feel like you can talk out that situation.

But after that, it will depend on how much pressure from Trump government to the market

It’s unfortunate and unacceptable and it does not have to be tolerated. It’s unfortunate to see that public accounting hasn’t changed. Some are narcissistic incompetents who are unable to effectively or reasonably plan their projects. Hence as a manager or director you have an ever moving target as they play the game of utilization vs. realization. So often in those years I had to constantly cut my time to get more staff and senior levels to be able to keep the work on track for grossly unrealistic commitments. Hence, the powers above complain why are we not making money on the account. Because some were about selling the business at any cost and HAD NO APPRECIATION OR REGARD FOR WHAT IT TAKES TO DELIVER.

So then you get the mental breakdown of people like your boss who may also be challenged approach their leaders to call out potential risks or impairments to projects and worse the impact to their employees.

Best thing you can do is look elsewhere. Private is good if you have even a few years of experience and you can work your way in the ranks of a company with better pay and mobility for work well done.

Remember that clown that yelled at you all for their incompetence, will not change their stripes. Go where you will be regarded and respected.

It’s up to each person to decide what they will put up with. Possibly worth self-reflecting on whether there is a difference between delivery and sending a stern message. It doesn’t happen often, but people do get yelled at - how you handle it can be a real differentiator for you in your career.

The visual I see at least at my level and manager level is a huge need. I’ve seen a ton of tax senior manager postings lately including from Microsoft. I think the lack of motivation at the more junior levels have firms questioning their level of need at those levels. Along with the economic pull-back, a lot of firms looked to have been doing some cost cutting.
