Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
Whoa, if there is a lawsuit coming up, then this is pretty serious. Most employees put up with a certain amount of crap because they need the paycheck so it has to be serious to get this bad.
In case you think that verbal abuse is harmless and having a tough skin is enough, I can tell you from my own experience that verbal abuse is slowly but accumulatively bad for you. My first marriage was a man who was verbally abusive and I stayed 30 years before leaving him. The only time I heard kind words was at work but not at home. 24/7 of complaints and yelling and so on. I got every stressed related thing that could show up, headaches, migraines, ulcers, all over body rashes and my blood pressure was affected as well. Stress has to go somewhere once its directed at you, and it goes either into physical ailments or into your mental and emotional areas. Either way, daily stress is going to slowly eat up your health one way or the other.
Unless the guy or gal who has the lawsuit against them, willingly goes for therapy and is changed, likely all they will do is have to pay fines. Since we don't know if at some ppoint they will be back to their 'boss' position, I would say it isn't a good choice to interview now, not until after the outcome where you know if you would still be working under this person/persons or a new person. If it were me, I would cancel and keep tabs on the company and the lawsuit case. Keep in mind, even those seeing a therapist do not change over night so for the person to change enough to be a good boss, is very unlikely for a few years but then again, my husbands therapist told me some people are so resistant to change that they change right at the very end of their life or never. Those are pretty bad odds and my ex wea resistant so that was the end of that marriage for me.
I would think you could find something else out there that would be better. Maybe take any old job at a fast food place until you find the job you want. Fast food jobs are very permanent to many people who work there out of school, or between jobs, or while looking for something a step up. Anyone being at such a place still after a year is almost unheard of
