When you are dealing with a major control freak - or bully - all they respect or will listen to are bigger control freaks with more power:

It is essentially against the law to threaten someone's health with a bad work environment. The work environment portion is OSHA's realm. The threat to your health is something your State's Public Health Department.

Call both of them and see what they can do. Most agencies have to keep your name confidential, so you don't have any repercussions at work. If you call, do NOT tell ANYONE at work what you have done. Even if they are sympathetic, sometimes people will try to "earn favor" by snitching on you.

I'm very sorry you are being put in this situation. Your health is more important than a job but I sure do understand needing to have money! You sound like you could go into a crisis. Maybe you should ask this guy if he wants to go to jail (just kidding).

I hope you can find some kind of resolution.
