Hello, I am working as Sales manager in a multinational Insurance company. Recently my senior who is the Area Manager has, for his personal disliking towards me, targeted me and is humiliating, insulting and harassing me in front of the other colleagues and is pressurizing me to fulfill the tough targets set by him. I am trying my best to meet his target, but it is practically not possible all the time.there are many other office bearer who are performing par below but since I have been on target, my boss is treating me very shabbily.
Now I should I do? where should I go? He is now pressurizing me to tender my resignation immediately. please tell me what are my rights and remedy available against such oppression?

You should not digest these insults silently.
If you do not tender resignation he may terminate your job which seems very likely.
But before he does that I would suggest you lodge a complaint and initiate a proceeding of criminal defamation against that person.

I disagree. When you are not able to put up with the ill treatment meted out to you, you have to get out of that job in a dignified manner. Or else you have to digest such insults and continue in your job. You cannot lodge any complaint for defamation since what he commented would be shown as a comment on your performance in job which cannot amount to defamation. It would be impossible for you to prove such ill treatment to be defamatory. Hence discretion is the better part of valour.
