Out the door. You can't fix that.

Your comment made me actually snort. I know you weren't trying to be funny and I also know that this is not a funny situation (it's a terrible one) but honestly, this is the work equivalent of 'he's just not that into you.' LIke....it's short and sweet and so hard to accept! But true!

Straight to the point and also the answer I expected-just nice to hear it from someone else!

Under the circumstances, you should look for another job. There is no reason to stay in a place that makes you feel horrible on a daily basis. No doubt you have wonderful skills that you can take elsewhere, likely make more money, and be treated as a respected member of the organization.

If there are legal claims you file them in a court of law.
Berating and demeaning an employee unfortunately does not rise to the level of legal action. So if these are your complaint there is nothing you can do.
