Quitting After Mistreatment by a Supervisor

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Massachusetts. I asked my boss a question last Monday and she clearly didn't like it and blew up on me. She wanted to speak to me again after work so I recorded the conversation of her yelling at me and personally attacking me. She said all these terrible things about me. One girl who heard it quit the next day because she didn't feel comfortable working there anymore. I tried to be professional and gave my written 2 weeks notice. I feel sick when I go to work so I told her that I couldn't fulfill the 2 weeks and that this would be my last week. She proceeded to scream at me again going as far as telling me that she will sue me and tell all my clients how awful of a person I am and that I abandoned them. Can she sue me? I don't even want to work this week now, she makes me very anxious.

Unless you have an enforceable contract stating that you must provide at least two weeks' notice, then no, she cannot sue you for this reason.

I did not sign a contract. So that means I can tell her I'm not coming back after tomorrow with no worries? Yay. Thank you for your help.

While this is not legal information, I just have to say...

...you're well rid of that situation.

One thing though. You cannot legally record that conversation without her express consent. See here: http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/mass...-recording-law

FYI, the term, "hostile work environment" has a very specific meaning in employment law, and this does not meet the definition. Not even close.

You can leave tomorrow and she cannot sue you. However, you will also not get unemployment.

And Doggie is quite right; in MA you cannot legally record her without her consent. So I don't know what you plan to do with that recording, but whatever your plan is, I'd rethink it since it was obtained illegally.

So just to clarify even though I gave her a letter saying I would stay 2 weeks I can still leave without being sued? Sorry I've just never dealt with anything like this and I'm SUPER anxious.

Yes. Even though you gave her a letter staying you would stay two weeks, you can still leave without being sued.

You will not get unemployment. You can count on a bad reference.

But she cannot successfully sue you. Google, at-will employment.

You guys are the experts: Can she ask to speak to this person "after work"? I doubt there is anything she can do, but wanted to ask?

She can ask. The person can refuse.

I guess I should have been more specific.

She said in her original post, regarding the boss: She wanted to speak to me again after work.....(this is when OP recorded the boss)

I am wondering if that is something the OP may have on her side, since this conversation appears to have been off the clock?
