Answer to Can my boss keep being rude to me and not being professional ?

The answer is, "It depends." If your boss's conduct is based on your membership in a protected class, then it is unlawful. Examples of illegal conduct against a member of a protected class are acts of discrimination on account of race, religion, gender, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation or for reporting illegal conduct either within or outside the company (whistleblower). However, if your boss is rude, obnoxious or annoying without the additional factor of involving a protected class, it is likely not illegal. The law has not (yet) made it illegal to be a jerk.
