Overworked and Undervalued: My Toxic Boss Is Wearing Me Down

I’m exhausted and fed up with my job. I lost my dad early and worked my way through school doing countless odd jobs. I’ve always proven my worth, so being called lazy or an idiot by my boss cuts deep. As the hotel’s supervisor, I handle everything from administrative tasks and technical fixes to pool maintenance, liaising with police or power providers, and tracking consumables. I’m on call day and night, often paying for official errands out of my own pocket. Despite my dedication, my boss constantly insults me in public staff groups. He never invites input, ridicules me at meetings, and punishes any delay or mistake. Three people before me quit because of his treatment. Has anyone dealt with a similar toxic boss? How can I stand up for myself without losing my livelihood?
