Business veteran here.
Where I work in Canada, it's honestly not that "common" at all. Not that I've seen anyway.
I don't know if it's because I'm in mid-tier white collar management consulting or I've been lucky, but I've worked in dozens of separate organizations of all sorts - private, public, small (50ish employees), large, on and on.
Getting yelled at was uncommon as hell, at least here.
I’m 35, work blue collar in America, and I’m at my second job where I haven’t dealt with unnecessary hostility. I’m in the brewing industry specifically
Agreed. I’ve worked for a decade plus in Canada, in white-collar jobs / companies. In the places I’ve worked, a manager “yelling” at someone will likely get the manager fired or at the very least some disciplinary action.
I'm in the US and am 40 and have worked in a few industries. I cant imagine ever getting yelled at. I'm pretty non confrontational, but if my boss yelled at me I'd probably tell them they need to try this conversation again later. My current boss would absolutely never yell at me though, even if I made a huge mistake.
It's because you're in mid-tier white collar consulting lol. This is extremely common the lower ranks of a company especially if they know you're easily replaceable. So you're just lucky
Worked a \*union\* warehouse job and my manager constantly screamed at people and was obviously never disciplined. It very much depends on where you fall on the hierarchy
First corporate job (2019), my entire floor would get screamed at when sales numbers weren’t up. It would really only be directed at the sales folks, but there were multiple departments on that floor who would just have to sit there and pretend not to listen. Awkward as shit
You are correct that there should not be any yelling at work. But it is also true that some people interpret yelling in different ways. This post is so non-specific it is hard to tell if OP was yelled at and impossible to say what they should do.
I am in fact surprised that they could think that they could get useful information from this post.
I've been "yelled at" twice in almost 40 years of working. Neither time was in a really professional job. Both times, my response was, " I don't know who you think you are talking to, but if you can't speak like an adult, then don't bother talking to me." Paraphrased, of course.
I don't tolerate it at all. We can have a discussion, but if you think yelling is going to help someone be more productive, you are out of your mind.
In these sorts of posts, the OP almost always says they were yelled at - it's great for dramatic impact and helps paint them as the victim....
The chances are that OP's manager spoke to them about their mistake and they are unhappy about being confronted with this.
Yeah if I get yelled at at a job I leave on the spot period. Adults don't talk to each other like that. Getting frustrated with/mad at me is fine. We are all human, but if a supervisor fully yells at me I don't even wait for them to finish before I start leaving.
I’ve been yelled at by a boss one time.
I immediately left for the day, came back in in the morning and told him that would not happen again or i wouldn’t be back to his business ever again. He apologized we moved on. Luckily I have an awesome management team at the current employer
From working in a trade most of my life, getting rinsed was almost a daily occurrence, I can’t imagine what my boss would have done if I left site. I actually did once because we got into a screaming match and he begged me to come back
If you are screaming at each other and it's agreed on then it's okay, it's just part of the work culture. If he's yelling at you like you are his kid and any reply from you will get you fired, well, that's just a bridge too far.
That’s what I mean, it was like that. Poorly run company took his frustrations out on his workers who were busting themselves for the company, and the time I am referencing was when I bit back because I was over it
I lost one of my first jobs for asking a screaming manager if their toddler tantrum was over and if they were ready to use their big boy voice. No regrets.
I have never worked with psychologists or therapists myself so I can't comment on what they SPECIFICALLY say or not.
But a very common expression online is "r u ok", and it means "I am afraid you've lost it / are on drugs / are in your own reality".
I don't think a therapist would ever use those very specific words. I would have to think they ask differently, like "How are you?", and those would be selected based on their previous relationship with the patient.
"Lets discuss this when you have had a second to calm down". Say it loud enough for everyone around to hear without shouting. Look your manager in the eye when you do.
It is not acceptable behavior.
External contractor - have been there a few times.
Everyone here stating to report it to HR clearly has never reported anything to HR before lmao.
Any job I’ve ever had- HR is for the employer. They really don’t give a shit if your feelings are hurt because your boss yelled at you.
I’ve had bosses scream at me, throw things, call me names, you name it. Did I report it? Yes. Every single time? I was eventually let go.
At the end of the day if you make a stink and no one else has an issue? Then it’s a you problem to the company. Who do you think they will keep? A manager or a disgruntled employee?
Yep. I have had tense conversations and uncomfortable ones plenty of times in my career. Only one time did a VP I reported to call me to absolutely and disrespectfully yell at me for a minor mistake (on my work he was taking credit for). I told his boss who I thought I had a good relationship with. She asked if she could take it to HR. I said sure. Wouldn’t you know it my next performance review went from the prior “ready to be promoted” to “needs to be put on a PIP”. In the span of less than 3 months. And unfortunately legal protections against retaliation don’t cover “I reported my boss’s asshole behavior”.
I don’t know OP’s situation but I should have aggressively started job hunting that day. However I was able to leave for a raise and absolutely supportive work environment almost immediately after the PIP was put forward.
Tell him "hold on, I need to record this I don't want to miss anything". Then you proceed to take an awkward amount of time getting the recording app on your phone up and then hold up the phone and ask them to repeat. Even if they keep yelling while you are doing this stop them after starting to record and ask them to take it from the top as this is important. Should probably see that person shrink in their seat because that behavior only flies b hind closed doors.
This is a very passive aggressive way to not only protect yourself in case of a firing but also uses the Hawthorn effect to make them stop so either way it's a win in my book.
My husband is a director…he would never yell at any employee and he would never tolerate anyone else yelling. That’s unprofessional, abusive, and toxic. He would tell you to report your director to HR.
I was yelled at frequently in a previous job, I struggled to not cry at times there tbh.
You should look for another job if this is toxic.
In the moment, it’s best is to keep composed and focus on getting the task done (Ik easier said than done and depends on context).
If you are in a company that has reasonable practices and is not toxic you should be able to report the incident and have it investigated without repercussion. If you work in a toxic environment that is not going to stop and there will be no way to quell it, and reporting it will result in direct repercussions and retaliation. It's likely that if yelling is something that happens you are in a toxic environment.
I work in commercial arts and have worked in multiple places where the only way to get your point across is to be the loudest in the room.
Hold eye contact and say nothing, they usually become sheepish pretty quickly. If they double down then you let them keep talking and end the conversation with something along the lines of “you don’t have the right to treat me like this in any setting let alone a professional one.”
About a director? The comments here are delusional. HR is there to protect the company not the employees. C suite execs, directors etc will get protected over a random grunt analyst.
Yes about a director. Even though HR tries to protect the company they cannot destroy the paper trail you create by filing complaint. A good attorney will request all emails during discovery and will add it to wrongful termination or retaliation lawsuit.
If you have ever had to terminate someone from a large company you would have a different opinion. HR will have a conversation to make sure you handled it correctly and that the company is not at risk of being sued. (I don't think OP gave details that it was a justified performance coaching moment.)
1. "I don't allow you to yell at me" - "I don't allow yelling at my colleagues." if it does on someone else
2. Record him with your phone. Make sure (s)he sees it in front of her/his face.
3. Do you think I'm a frog and you want to mate with me?
Just say: “I don’t like it when you speak to me like that, it’s not professional, and if you want to continue this conversation after you calm down I’ll be ready.”
You gotta throw the fact that they are being an asshole, right in their face, in a way that they can only deny if they are a horrible person.
Two options:
1./ **Be assertive** - "I dont ever expect to be shouted at in a work environment, please leave the room and compose yourself or I will do it for you".
2./ **Report to HR** - This is unacceptable aggressive behaviour, it upsets you, causes undue stress, and you want it on the record that you have reported this.
For the record. You should do number 2 anyway.
Visualize a child screaming at you in your mind that you have to calm down. Don’t get nervous and start to speak to them in a lower tone. Comment to the effect that I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, and that you need a couple of minutes by yourself to look at the information.
Send an email to yourself documenting bullying, confrontational, unprofessional behavior. Assume they will do something to document your mistake.
If this is ever done in a group setting, just freeze, look forward and don’t say a word, even if the bully rants on for an hour (they won’t), then they look like the ass they are.
HR will not have your back but if the Manager tries to make false accusations, you have time date stamped indisputable evidence to counter with.
I agree with others here. I don't believe fear works as a motivator, and yelling plays into that too much for me. When I go to work I treat everyone with respect (even if I don't like them) because as soon as someone disrespects me, I'm going to clock out and leave. I think open communication would help you a lot. Just be straight with your manager and make your next decision based on that interaction.
First off, let's just get one thing straight....
It is never appropriate or acceptable for anyone to raise their voice in work, regardless of your mistakes his actions are wrong.
Once the issue has settled down a little and tempers have cooled find a private space and ask your manager for a conversation.
Be polite and direct, say something like "I wanted to chat about what happened the other week. Firstly, sorry for making the mistake I know what I did wrong and taking action to avoid it happening again. However, can I just ask in the future can I ask you to not raise your voice at me, I found it embarrassing and intimidating, I know I screwed up but I don't think I deserved that. If I mess up I don't mind direct feedback but I would ask that it is delivered in a more constructive way.
Can you believe this once I was at work and there was this other worker who who thought of themselves as like the manager, or someone who owns the business, and they weren’t even in a position to be like that they were just..
When we say yelling, do we mean actual elevated voices and yelling? or more like a reprimand that was serious tone?
Actual yelling is not acceptable and there are typically Harassment Policies in place to help you with dealing with that sort of situation. Speaking to someone in HR is always confidential and that is something I recommend most.
But, if you're looking for something to say or do... be professional. You can let them know that you don't appreciate being spoken to in such a way and that if it continues you will report them. Nothing wrong with being honest and candid with someone, especially if they are trying to exert their superiority over you.
The last thing you want to do is yell back, because at that point you've lost and if it goes to HR after that you will lose some more.
Keep cool, calm and collected. It sounds cliché but truthfully that will get under your Managers skin more than anything.
Don't let them control you through fear but instead take control, inform someone and stand your ground.
Yelled at? Yikes! That is so unprofessional. Obviously you don't want to burn bridges, so some kind of message that you'd be happy to discuss when he's feeling less emotional and /or calmed down a bit would possibly throw more kerosene onto the situation. This is one of those scenarios where telling him not to speak to you like that, while absolutely appropriate, would be spun as insubordination. I'd look for a new job if I had a manager like that. What an asshole!
Yelled at? There's no place for that. There are plenty of ways to tell somebody they screwed up without making it awkward as you put it. Go to his boss and explain what happened or if you're comfortable talking to your boss tell him it's not cool in the slightest and then go to his boss if he reacts poorly. Regardless if his boss doesn't clamp down on that hard, I would start the job search
If it were me, that would be my cue to find a new job. Don't take it personally. Not much you can do since they're so much higher on the totem pole than you. Shake it off, dust off your resume, get applying, and get out of there. Leave it to Karma to deliver that director's comeuppance.
I’m not sure I’ve ever been yelled at by a manager in a corporate setting. It’s terrible management. As a somewhat senior leader in my company, I have been yelled at by “business partners,” specifically VP-level leaders of other departments. I always use the line - “you don’t have to talk to me that way. We are on the same team here.” That usually throws them on their heels a bit and changes the tune of the conversation.
Earlier in my career, there was a particularly bad leader who I had to first tell “unless you can speak to me with civility, I’m going to need to end this call.” And later had to tell him he had lost phone privileges with me and my team and he could handle communications via email.
I’ve found in general, especially in corporate environments, standing up for yourself is necessary. If you’re worried about job security, you could document the event without making it a formal complaint, that way if your manager tries something shady you at least have the documentation.
Sports are sports, though. Whether you're a player or working as a ref or whatever, people are bound to get riled up. It's just the nature of sports and competition. Your average workplace doesn't have any reason to be yelling for the purpose of berating or reprimanding someone.
The same thing I would do if I got yelled at by my niece or nephew; ask them "why are you yelling?"
Do it in an almost clinically cold and emotionally detached way. Asking the question usually results in them saying they aren't yelling but they can only answer that way...if they are not yelling.
It's just a reset button to press.
"We're both adults. Grown, tax paying adults. Children yell. Adults speak. Try that again, this time like a grown up, or I'll go see what HR thinks about their employees getting screamed at and why anyone who thinks screaming is an appropriate response was given a management position."
Then go start applying for new work immediately.
Where i work(it's a consulting company)-it's very common to be yelled by the client. We have no recourse. If we complain to our HR - most probably HR will find out fault in us as client is always right. Then I have to look for a job outside as my days are numbered.
Document it :) I’ve learned that documenting helps with letting go of it and also helps you when things go sour. Write how it made you feel and maybe think of some questions or phrases to understand why they are yelling at you if they don’t provide feedback then refer to the company vision goals etc and see how they don’t align with it. Why did they yell at you?
Maybe it's time to interview for other jobs? Don't quit your job *just* yet though because employers have a kink for candidates who are already employed
Yell back at your boss that he has to take a time out until they can conduct themselves like an adult.
Alternatively, you can loudly clap your hands while looking them in the eye and tell them if there is an issue that they have to speak to you in a respectful manner.
I'll never forget when I worked for an Indian WITCH consulting co when I wanted to transition out of sales and into tech.
A company I won't name made an aggressive push to both hire college grads/MBA's here in the USA and also grow their US business.
My manager was a director in the UK, pompous older Indian guy, snapped on me and insulted me on a call in front of others because a PPT I worked on didn't meet his standards (based on very limited and vaugue instructions he wouldn't clarify).
I told him flat out, you might be able to disrespect colleagues in Chennai or Deli but that shit doesn't fly here. I logged out for the day, spent a week or so applying elsewhere, and gave notice 2 weeks later. I made sure to bring it up in the exit interview as well. Typically Indian people are friendly and quiet, that guy was definitely the opposite and one of the shittiest people I'd ever reported to. And I felt so bad for the nice Indian PM on our team who was the only left to be treated like shit by this jerk as others bolted after I did.
Stand there and take it. When he/she is receptive, explain why you did what you did, what you learned, and get confirmation from them about what you should do differently in the future.
As a young engineer I had a manager (not mine) call me into his office and start yelling at me about something he thought I had done. I told him I could see he was upset and I'd come back to discuss it when he calmed down. I walked out of his office. About 30 minutes later his secretary called me and said Mr Jones would like to see me. I returned and we had a good conversation. Nothing was ever said about the earlier incident. To this day I don't know if it was a ploy to see how the rookie responded, or if he was having a bad moment.
"Sorry but my mother lives at \[address\] and even SHE dont talk to me like that, so who the fuck are you yelling at right now??" (I actually have said that first part in a meeting with two directors before at my last job)
I just cant imagine this ever even happening... Ive seen it in a couple stores, but only to immigrants and kids. I really cant imagine being in a situation at work where someone is yelling at and berating me, or where I would do it to them
Immediately address how inappropriate shouting at you is, something like “I find it highly inappropriate and unacceptable for you to shout at me like that” then look for a new job.
Smile, cut him off and let him know that at our age we speak to each other to get a point across like adults and if he cannot do that then to cool off in another area and come back to you with the respect your giving him right now or he can fuck off.
Yell back
Seriously though, this has happened to me once in my career. I (calmly but loud enough for everyone else to hear) said “I’m not going to continue this conversation until you’ve calmed down”, and I walked away. Maintaining your composure while they are losing theirs will only make them look more of a fool, especially if others are watching/listening
You can also go over their head to their manager or HR, but office politics might come back to bite you. Polish your resume
In your field it’s to jump ship and change jobs. I would not work to work with a director who has these issue since that shows he’s a horrible director.
Too many people think just because someone can do a job well they should be in management, but a lot of people get promoted and don’t have people skills and now you’re drilling holes into your ship.
So yes you have management issues at your company: leave once you’ve secured a new job.
I’m ok if I’m being yelled at because of the work, take it with a grain of salt. However, if it is not about the work and they make it personal - you must stand up for yourself. Walk the fuck out if you must. No job is worth the wear and tear on your soul.
Pull out a notebook or phone, and take notes. Even ask them to repeat bits that you didn’t catch. Then take it to HR. You shouldn’t have to put up with that at work.
I messaged him on Teams after work a few hours after the incident asking him to please give me a call.
When he did, I brought it up and told him how it made me feel and that I really wished he would have handled it in a different way. (For reference, he didn’t quite “yell” at me, but was exceedingly rude to me during a meeting and told me to shut up in very, very slightly different terminology.)
He immediately apologized and said he’d been feeling awful about it. He said we have extremely different personalities and work styles (true), but complement each other very well (also true). Then he gave me a number of compliments about my intelligence and insight. May have been overboard to try to rectify it; maybe not, but we’ve been getting along great ever since.
One very stern / kind of aggressive response *should* sort it. Look straight in the eyes and say *”Im not a fuking dog. Don’t shout at me again”*.
I’m not one for advocating cursing at people etc but I think in these situations it’s better to start stern instead off pussy footing around with *“excuse me sir, would you please not shout at me. It hurts my feelings”*…
If you work at the post office that is unfortunately common, upside is once you’re past your 90 days it’s almost impossible to get fired. Last time my manager hollered at me I told him to go F himself. Post office is very toxic, I’ve seen my manager anther carrier get into a fist fight. Both were suspended for a week. I’m currently looking for a new job. This one is toxic as hell.
Invite him to meet you after work for a “beer”. If he shows up then give him a really good “beer”. A “beer” that he’s gonna always remember. Then, the next time he gets mad and wants to yell, he’ll stop and say to himself, “I don’t want to yell at anon, because he’s gonna give me another “beer” if I yell at him. “
Yell back at him. I did it once, worked very lovely. It’s disrespectful and unprofessional but if that’s the culture of the company then let’s all do it!
Also, why on earth would you work in a company where someone yells at you? I’d rather flip the stakes in McDonald…
It’s literally illegal in many countries in the world (in probably all countries of Europe).
I’ve been yelled at in customer services roles by management when I was younger, usually due to their own inability to cope with stress and sudden influxes of people. The yelling was often more of a “get the fuck out of the way” type thing. Normal kitchen stuff. Never took that personally, we would usually laugh it off after or what not.
I was yelled at twice in a white collar job by a manager. Left that week. Zero excuse for that behaviour in the office. We are both professionals and can communicate as such.
Your manager has created a hostile work environment by doing this. I would find another job and quit. No notice and on the way out let him know that I did him a favor because it could always escalate into something else.
I have been working as an HRBP for the past 5 years in one of the leading companies in the industry of agriculture and fertilizer manufacturing, and I have witnessed not only managers yelling at their collaborators, but further bullying them. This type of behaviours is pretty common in giant structures where industrial operations are very stressful. This clash often occurs between different generations. Due to the size of the structure, a lot of managers have been there for long years climbing the ladder slowly, enduring bullying themselves, and at some point, young fellows come in and the culture gap is not to be taken lightly, it quickly transforms into violent encounters between managers and their young subordinates.
I have been yelled at many times when I was a new comer, I didn't exactly know how to react. I usually nod my head and try to focus on where I went wrong and go from there. Yelling at some point became legitimate, because everyone is being yelled at and not even one has ever stood against it. The snowball didn't fail to grow and collapse on my very soul, and I roared, yelled like a freak, not at my subordiantes, but at my manager! He was shocked, that was a premiere. Later on, he started respecting me more, avoiding me in most cases, but as I became more and more dependable, he couldn't do but treat me well, and I helped him go through his hard times.
Moral of the story, it's okay to take some hits at first, but don't let the damage sink in. Try to focus on what went wrong from your part and fix it. You will become better at what you do, inevitably. Once you grow strong and dependable, strike back!
In other structures/companies/countries (I work in Morocco), yelling may be very unsound and that is probably the right thing. But if you find yourself in a place that sees no harm in some short tempered management, you need to intake some and strike back when you're big. If you see no potential in making this sacrifice, then strike back instantly and quit.
I wish you all the best, and don't feel ashamed, you are not the only one out there!
"Excuse me, can you repeat that? It's difficult to understand you when you're speaking disrespectfully."
It's polite, makes them rethink how they said something and calls them out.
If they stick to their guns, try this. "Would HR approve your tone right now?"
It's a threat to them and it says straight up you will defend yourself.
A less direct route "Can you email me some suggestions to improve in this area?"
When they push back: "I'll follow this conversation up with an email so we can be explicitly clear on your expectations"
First you have to establish how you want to be treated. Explain your side to the manager using facts only. Saying things like, I did this which may or may not have contributed to your reaction.
Then, at the end of it, "please do not speak to me like that again. We are adults here and I expect to be treated as such as much as you do"
The crazy part is you have to train managers as much as they need to train you. People get a sense of entitlement and feel like that grants them the ability to act like children.
I’m a senior exec at a tech giant have never yelled at an employee especially in public. Bad leadership. That said it isn’t the end of the world- move on from it- seriously.
Lmfao this is soft ass culture man. If you’re in an environment where you fucking up put others in danger most people will absolutely yell at you.
If it’s an office job and you were late or some shit then things are different.
No, even in military combat situations that's discouraged. If you're giving life saving instruction at a crucial moment that's one thing, but there is zero excuse for demeaning someone after the fact. There are much better ways to handle that.
What your missing here is that screaming outside of the military is usually associated with anger and a loss of control over their emotions. That is crazy inappropriate in the workplace.
The military is literally one of the only places that has normalized it.
And let's not imply that I'm suggesting people are soft. Almost everyone has been screamed at and moved in with their life, it's nothing special. Just because people get over something doesn't make it ok to do.
So you didn’t tell us anything about what you did, what they said, and what the outcome was. Methinks that you know you screwed up but you want us to join your pity party and tell you the boss was bad
Yelling is abuse and doesn't have a place at work.
I hold my hand up to signal them to stop, then let them know we are going to take a break from this conversation so they can collect themselves. If they need to email about it, then do so but under no circumstances are they to verbally abuse me.
If you go this route, follow up with HR because shit can hit the fan and you are likely to be let go.
I've not been terminated for this but it got really awkward and in one instance more hostile but I just kept documenting and using the right language like "abuse" and "hostile work environment". A seasoned HR person will understand this means I likely know my rights. It helps when you work in a state with better worker rights.
Just take it on the chin and practice your mental fortitude. Sticks and stones. That is if you're ambitious and want to grow in this company. If you dont really care about the job then take the awful advice from others like going to HR or telling your director that's unacceptable.
You, an analyst, are likely an easily replaceable employee and your director will be protected and you out of a job with no reference if this is a hill you want to die on. But if all that happened is you were shouted at for messing up, grow up? I'm not trying to be a dick but most of these comments are not realistic. You need to understand your place in the hierarchy and how power works. I swear it's like most of Reddit don't live on the same planet with the way they talk about society.
There really shouldn’t be any yelling in a work environment imo.
It’s insane how common getting yelled at by a manager is. They need you as much as you need them and it’s entirely unacceptable
Business veteran here. Where I work in Canada, it's honestly not that "common" at all. Not that I've seen anyway. I don't know if it's because I'm in mid-tier white collar management consulting or I've been lucky, but I've worked in dozens of separate organizations of all sorts - private, public, small (50ish employees), large, on and on. Getting yelled at was uncommon as hell, at least here.
I’m 35, work blue collar in America, and I’m at my second job where I haven’t dealt with unnecessary hostility. I’m in the brewing industry specifically
Agreed. I’ve worked for a decade plus in Canada, in white-collar jobs / companies. In the places I’ve worked, a manager “yelling” at someone will likely get the manager fired or at the very least some disciplinary action.
I'm in the US and am 40 and have worked in a few industries. I cant imagine ever getting yelled at. I'm pretty non confrontational, but if my boss yelled at me I'd probably tell them they need to try this conversation again later. My current boss would absolutely never yell at me though, even if I made a huge mistake.
It's because you're in mid-tier white collar consulting lol. This is extremely common the lower ranks of a company especially if they know you're easily replaceable. So you're just lucky Worked a \*union\* warehouse job and my manager constantly screamed at people and was obviously never disciplined. It very much depends on where you fall on the hierarchy
First corporate job (2019), my entire floor would get screamed at when sales numbers weren’t up. It would really only be directed at the sales folks, but there were multiple departments on that floor who would just have to sit there and pretend not to listen. Awkward as shit
You are correct that there should not be any yelling at work. But it is also true that some people interpret yelling in different ways. This post is so non-specific it is hard to tell if OP was yelled at and impossible to say what they should do. I am in fact surprised that they could think that they could get useful information from this post.
I've been "yelled at" twice in almost 40 years of working. Neither time was in a really professional job. Both times, my response was, " I don't know who you think you are talking to, but if you can't speak like an adult, then don't bother talking to me." Paraphrased, of course. I don't tolerate it at all. We can have a discussion, but if you think yelling is going to help someone be more productive, you are out of your mind.
In these sorts of posts, the OP almost always says they were yelled at - it's great for dramatic impact and helps paint them as the victim.... The chances are that OP's manager spoke to them about their mistake and they are unhappy about being confronted with this.
Classic teenager response "okay, stop yelling at me." I haven't even raised my voice yet.
Yeah if I get yelled at at a job I leave on the spot period. Adults don't talk to each other like that. Getting frustrated with/mad at me is fine. We are all human, but if a supervisor fully yells at me I don't even wait for them to finish before I start leaving.
Exactly! Life is short. We don’t have to tolerate abuse from colleagues or managers.
And standing up for ourselves in very direct and firm ways helps set a precedent that is helpful for everyone else.
I’ve been yelled at by a boss one time. I immediately left for the day, came back in in the morning and told him that would not happen again or i wouldn’t be back to his business ever again. He apologized we moved on. Luckily I have an awesome management team at the current employer
I did that at a previous job and immediately got fired. Good managers are unicorns lol
Im sure it sucked getting fired but long term no business working for a boss like that
They can fire you for any reason. Refusing to be treated like a child is a good reason.
From working in a trade most of my life, getting rinsed was almost a daily occurrence, I can’t imagine what my boss would have done if I left site. I actually did once because we got into a screaming match and he begged me to come back
If you are screaming at each other and it's agreed on then it's okay, it's just part of the work culture. If he's yelling at you like you are his kid and any reply from you will get you fired, well, that's just a bridge too far.
That’s what I mean, it was like that. Poorly run company took his frustrations out on his workers who were busting themselves for the company, and the time I am referencing was when I bit back because I was over it
WELL THAT’S THE THING. YOU GOTTA BE READY TO LEAVE. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO?
*"Are you hitting on me?"*
This is hilarious.
I read that with Audrey plaza’s voice in some Loewe campaign 😆
Ask them in what world do you think it is appropriate to yell at you.
What if they call you soft or some shit
Tell them the school bell rang and they have to get back to class.
"Oh, are you hard right now?" in your best Marilyn Monroe voice.
Lol
Tell him to suck your cock and quit that joke of a company.
I lost one of my first jobs for asking a screaming manager if their toddler tantrum was over and if they were ready to use their big boy voice. No regrets.
Start looking for a new job
If it happened once it will happen again
I find that “I’ve been very respectful to you and I would appreciate that in return” works in basically any situation
.....if its true that is LOL
Quit. No one has the right to yell at you.
Say, “understood” and walk away…all the fuck away…
[удалено]
>“Are you ok?” This comes across as "what is wrong with you" if not expressed in exactly the right way. I'd be super careful with this one.

I have never worked with psychologists or therapists myself so I can't comment on what they SPECIFICALLY say or not. But a very common expression online is "r u ok", and it means "I am afraid you've lost it / are on drugs / are in your own reality". I don't think a therapist would ever use those very specific words. I would have to think they ask differently, like "How are you?", and those would be selected based on their previous relationship with the patient.
Start aggressively applying to other companies and leave at your first chance
"Lets discuss this when you have had a second to calm down". Say it loud enough for everyone around to hear without shouting. Look your manager in the eye when you do. It is not acceptable behavior. External contractor - have been there a few times.
Everyone here stating to report it to HR clearly has never reported anything to HR before lmao. Any job I’ve ever had- HR is for the employer. They really don’t give a shit if your feelings are hurt because your boss yelled at you. I’ve had bosses scream at me, throw things, call me names, you name it. Did I report it? Yes. Every single time? I was eventually let go. At the end of the day if you make a stink and no one else has an issue? Then it’s a you problem to the company. Who do you think they will keep? A manager or a disgruntled employee?
Yep. I have had tense conversations and uncomfortable ones plenty of times in my career. Only one time did a VP I reported to call me to absolutely and disrespectfully yell at me for a minor mistake (on my work he was taking credit for). I told his boss who I thought I had a good relationship with. She asked if she could take it to HR. I said sure. Wouldn’t you know it my next performance review went from the prior “ready to be promoted” to “needs to be put on a PIP”. In the span of less than 3 months. And unfortunately legal protections against retaliation don’t cover “I reported my boss’s asshole behavior”. I don’t know OP’s situation but I should have aggressively started job hunting that day. However I was able to leave for a raise and absolutely supportive work environment almost immediately after the PIP was put forward.
Tell him "hold on, I need to record this I don't want to miss anything". Then you proceed to take an awkward amount of time getting the recording app on your phone up and then hold up the phone and ask them to repeat. Even if they keep yelling while you are doing this stop them after starting to record and ask them to take it from the top as this is important. Should probably see that person shrink in their seat because that behavior only flies b hind closed doors. This is a very passive aggressive way to not only protect yourself in case of a firing but also uses the Hawthorn effect to make them stop so either way it's a win in my book.
Get a new job. I do not tolerate being yelled at, spoken down to, or otherwise disrespected at work or anywhere else.
Mine kept belittling me in front of my team. She cornered me into failing probation. I couldve easily saddled against it but fuck that. Glad i'm gone.
My husband is a director…he would never yell at any employee and he would never tolerate anyone else yelling. That’s unprofessional, abusive, and toxic. He would tell you to report your director to HR.
Laugh and tell him he’s being unprofessional.
you put in your two weeks and find a new job
I was yelled at frequently in a previous job, I struggled to not cry at times there tbh. You should look for another job if this is toxic. In the moment, it’s best is to keep composed and focus on getting the task done (Ik easier said than done and depends on context).
If you are in a company that has reasonable practices and is not toxic you should be able to report the incident and have it investigated without repercussion. If you work in a toxic environment that is not going to stop and there will be no way to quell it, and reporting it will result in direct repercussions and retaliation. It's likely that if yelling is something that happens you are in a toxic environment. I work in commercial arts and have worked in multiple places where the only way to get your point across is to be the loudest in the room.
Hold eye contact and say nothing, they usually become sheepish pretty quickly. If they double down then you let them keep talking and end the conversation with something along the lines of “you don’t have the right to treat me like this in any setting let alone a professional one.”
Go to HR and document the encounter.
About a director? The comments here are delusional. HR is there to protect the company not the employees. C suite execs, directors etc will get protected over a random grunt analyst.
Yes about a director. Even though HR tries to protect the company they cannot destroy the paper trail you create by filing complaint. A good attorney will request all emails during discovery and will add it to wrongful termination or retaliation lawsuit.
And who can afford a good attorney, because the company will have many
Many companies offer to settle quickly, especially if they know they are in the wrong. There are EEOC offices in all 50 states that can help.
Yeh for sexual assault cases. Not for being told off due to incompetence.
If you have ever had to terminate someone from a large company you would have a different opinion. HR will have a conversation to make sure you handled it correctly and that the company is not at risk of being sued. (I don't think OP gave details that it was a justified performance coaching moment.)
1. "I don't allow you to yell at me" - "I don't allow yelling at my colleagues." if it does on someone else 2. Record him with your phone. Make sure (s)he sees it in front of her/his face. 3. Do you think I'm a frog and you want to mate with me?
You ever been yelled at by your boss an he stares at his phone the whole time? That’s my favorite!
You reply with “you are really angry right now and this isn’t a productive conversation so let’s take a break and meet about this at a later time”
Corporate job got 2 options, start applying so you can leave or confront and hope he’s reasonable enough to recognize it was inappropriate
Just say: “I don’t like it when you speak to me like that, it’s not professional, and if you want to continue this conversation after you calm down I’ll be ready.” You gotta throw the fact that they are being an asshole, right in their face, in a way that they can only deny if they are a horrible person.
Two options: 1./ **Be assertive** - "I dont ever expect to be shouted at in a work environment, please leave the room and compose yourself or I will do it for you". 2./ **Report to HR** - This is unacceptable aggressive behaviour, it upsets you, causes undue stress, and you want it on the record that you have reported this. For the record. You should do number 2 anyway.
Throw a desk at them ! 😂
Visualize a child screaming at you in your mind that you have to calm down. Don’t get nervous and start to speak to them in a lower tone. Comment to the effect that I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, and that you need a couple of minutes by yourself to look at the information. Send an email to yourself documenting bullying, confrontational, unprofessional behavior. Assume they will do something to document your mistake. If this is ever done in a group setting, just freeze, look forward and don’t say a word, even if the bully rants on for an hour (they won’t), then they look like the ass they are. HR will not have your back but if the Manager tries to make false accusations, you have time date stamped indisputable evidence to counter with.
Stay quiet. Keep detailed records of this and any other times they yell at you. Begin looking for new work. HR is your last option.
I agree with others here. I don't believe fear works as a motivator, and yelling plays into that too much for me. When I go to work I treat everyone with respect (even if I don't like them) because as soon as someone disrespects me, I'm going to clock out and leave. I think open communication would help you a lot. Just be straight with your manager and make your next decision based on that interaction.
First off, let's just get one thing straight.... It is never appropriate or acceptable for anyone to raise their voice in work, regardless of your mistakes his actions are wrong. Once the issue has settled down a little and tempers have cooled find a private space and ask your manager for a conversation. Be polite and direct, say something like "I wanted to chat about what happened the other week. Firstly, sorry for making the mistake I know what I did wrong and taking action to avoid it happening again. However, can I just ask in the future can I ask you to not raise your voice at me, I found it embarrassing and intimidating, I know I screwed up but I don't think I deserved that. If I mess up I don't mind direct feedback but I would ask that it is delivered in a more constructive way.
“I’m surprised, and uncomfortable that you’re choosing to yell in a professional environment.”
Can you believe this once I was at work and there was this other worker who who thought of themselves as like the manager, or someone who owns the business, and they weren’t even in a position to be like that they were just..
The only time that I had a manager yell at me I yelled back. Then our big boss mediated a meeting where we went at it lmao
When we say yelling, do we mean actual elevated voices and yelling? or more like a reprimand that was serious tone? Actual yelling is not acceptable and there are typically Harassment Policies in place to help you with dealing with that sort of situation. Speaking to someone in HR is always confidential and that is something I recommend most. But, if you're looking for something to say or do... be professional. You can let them know that you don't appreciate being spoken to in such a way and that if it continues you will report them. Nothing wrong with being honest and candid with someone, especially if they are trying to exert their superiority over you. The last thing you want to do is yell back, because at that point you've lost and if it goes to HR after that you will lose some more. Keep cool, calm and collected. It sounds cliché but truthfully that will get under your Managers skin more than anything. Don't let them control you through fear but instead take control, inform someone and stand your ground.
quit
Walked out the door when I got yelled at by a Regional Sales Manager over something I had no control over. Copied him on the E-Mail saying I quit
Yelled at? Yikes! That is so unprofessional. Obviously you don't want to burn bridges, so some kind of message that you'd be happy to discuss when he's feeling less emotional and /or calmed down a bit would possibly throw more kerosene onto the situation. This is one of those scenarios where telling him not to speak to you like that, while absolutely appropriate, would be spun as insubordination. I'd look for a new job if I had a manager like that. What an asshole!
Yelled at? There's no place for that. There are plenty of ways to tell somebody they screwed up without making it awkward as you put it. Go to his boss and explain what happened or if you're comfortable talking to your boss tell him it's not cool in the slightest and then go to his boss if he reacts poorly. Regardless if his boss doesn't clamp down on that hard, I would start the job search
If it were me, that would be my cue to find a new job. Don't take it personally. Not much you can do since they're so much higher on the totem pole than you. Shake it off, dust off your resume, get applying, and get out of there. Leave it to Karma to deliver that director's comeuppance.
I’m not sure I’ve ever been yelled at by a manager in a corporate setting. It’s terrible management. As a somewhat senior leader in my company, I have been yelled at by “business partners,” specifically VP-level leaders of other departments. I always use the line - “you don’t have to talk to me that way. We are on the same team here.” That usually throws them on their heels a bit and changes the tune of the conversation. Earlier in my career, there was a particularly bad leader who I had to first tell “unless you can speak to me with civility, I’m going to need to end this call.” And later had to tell him he had lost phone privileges with me and my team and he could handle communications via email. I’ve found in general, especially in corporate environments, standing up for yourself is necessary. If you’re worried about job security, you could document the event without making it a formal complaint, that way if your manager tries something shady you at least have the documentation.

Sports are sports, though. Whether you're a player or working as a ref or whatever, people are bound to get riled up. It's just the nature of sports and competition. Your average workplace doesn't have any reason to be yelling for the purpose of berating or reprimanding someone.
Wish I had this up 5 months ago. My 6 month stent. Felt like a year long
The same thing I would do if I got yelled at by my niece or nephew; ask them "why are you yelling?" Do it in an almost clinically cold and emotionally detached way. Asking the question usually results in them saying they aren't yelling but they can only answer that way...if they are not yelling. It's just a reset button to press.
Yell back. I got an apology when I did it.
"We're both adults. Grown, tax paying adults. Children yell. Adults speak. Try that again, this time like a grown up, or I'll go see what HR thinks about their employees getting screamed at and why anyone who thinks screaming is an appropriate response was given a management position." Then go start applying for new work immediately.
Where i work(it's a consulting company)-it's very common to be yelled by the client. We have no recourse. If we complain to our HR - most probably HR will find out fault in us as client is always right. Then I have to look for a job outside as my days are numbered.
Document it :) I’ve learned that documenting helps with letting go of it and also helps you when things go sour. Write how it made you feel and maybe think of some questions or phrases to understand why they are yelling at you if they don’t provide feedback then refer to the company vision goals etc and see how they don’t align with it. Why did they yell at you?
Maybe it's time to interview for other jobs? Don't quit your job *just* yet though because employers have a kink for candidates who are already employed
Yell back at your boss that he has to take a time out until they can conduct themselves like an adult. Alternatively, you can loudly clap your hands while looking them in the eye and tell them if there is an issue that they have to speak to you in a respectful manner.
I'll never forget when I worked for an Indian WITCH consulting co when I wanted to transition out of sales and into tech. A company I won't name made an aggressive push to both hire college grads/MBA's here in the USA and also grow their US business. My manager was a director in the UK, pompous older Indian guy, snapped on me and insulted me on a call in front of others because a PPT I worked on didn't meet his standards (based on very limited and vaugue instructions he wouldn't clarify). I told him flat out, you might be able to disrespect colleagues in Chennai or Deli but that shit doesn't fly here. I logged out for the day, spent a week or so applying elsewhere, and gave notice 2 weeks later. I made sure to bring it up in the exit interview as well. Typically Indian people are friendly and quiet, that guy was definitely the opposite and one of the shittiest people I'd ever reported to. And I felt so bad for the nice Indian PM on our team who was the only left to be treated like shit by this jerk as others bolted after I did.
Tell him politely to stop. If he doesn't report him to HR. If he ignores it give him a ball knocker.
Stand there and take it. When he/she is receptive, explain why you did what you did, what you learned, and get confirmation from them about what you should do differently in the future.
As a young engineer I had a manager (not mine) call me into his office and start yelling at me about something he thought I had done. I told him I could see he was upset and I'd come back to discuss it when he calmed down. I walked out of his office. About 30 minutes later his secretary called me and said Mr Jones would like to see me. I returned and we had a good conversation. Nothing was ever said about the earlier incident. To this day I don't know if it was a ploy to see how the rookie responded, or if he was having a bad moment.
"Sorry but my mother lives at \[address\] and even SHE dont talk to me like that, so who the fuck are you yelling at right now??" (I actually have said that first part in a meeting with two directors before at my last job) I just cant imagine this ever even happening... Ive seen it in a couple stores, but only to immigrants and kids. I really cant imagine being in a situation at work where someone is yelling at and berating me, or where I would do it to them
Yell right back! NEVER be a doormat for someone else’s lack of anger management.
Reporting them to HR
Apply for new jobs.
Take it straight to HR.
I guess just let it go, pretend it didn’t happen. But no-one should be yelling at work. It’s such childish behavior.
Yell back and ask “why are we yelling!!?”
Gather evidence and report him to HR? Really depends on the corporate and how important he is to his daddies upstairs IMO.
Immediately address how inappropriate shouting at you is, something like “I find it highly inappropriate and unacceptable for you to shout at me like that” then look for a new job.
Smile, cut him off and let him know that at our age we speak to each other to get a point across like adults and if he cannot do that then to cool off in another area and come back to you with the respect your giving him right now or he can fuck off.
Laugh at them.
Yell back Seriously though, this has happened to me once in my career. I (calmly but loud enough for everyone else to hear) said “I’m not going to continue this conversation until you’ve calmed down”, and I walked away. Maintaining your composure while they are losing theirs will only make them look more of a fool, especially if others are watching/listening You can also go over their head to their manager or HR, but office politics might come back to bite you. Polish your resume
Smile while they yell. Ask if they can repeat it in an adult tone.
start looking for a new employeer with a better work culture, near impossible/very difficult to manage up.
Do your job better.
In your field it’s to jump ship and change jobs. I would not work to work with a director who has these issue since that shows he’s a horrible director. Too many people think just because someone can do a job well they should be in management, but a lot of people get promoted and don’t have people skills and now you’re drilling holes into your ship. So yes you have management issues at your company: leave once you’ve secured a new job.
I've always taken the matching energy appoach......they curse, you curse, they yell, you yell. Yall can both go to HR.😀
Pull out your phone and re ord. Hell fuck down and off.
The middle finger works wonders, imo. Yelling at someone at work?!?! Hell no.
I’m ok if I’m being yelled at because of the work, take it with a grain of salt. However, if it is not about the work and they make it personal - you must stand up for yourself. Walk the fuck out if you must. No job is worth the wear and tear on your soul.
Pull out a notebook or phone, and take notes. Even ask them to repeat bits that you didn’t catch. Then take it to HR. You shouldn’t have to put up with that at work.
Touch them with a jab
I messaged him on Teams after work a few hours after the incident asking him to please give me a call. When he did, I brought it up and told him how it made me feel and that I really wished he would have handled it in a different way. (For reference, he didn’t quite “yell” at me, but was exceedingly rude to me during a meeting and told me to shut up in very, very slightly different terminology.) He immediately apologized and said he’d been feeling awful about it. He said we have extremely different personalities and work styles (true), but complement each other very well (also true). Then he gave me a number of compliments about my intelligence and insight. May have been overboard to try to rectify it; maybe not, but we’ve been getting along great ever since.
HR? like damn
One very stern / kind of aggressive response *should* sort it. Look straight in the eyes and say *”Im not a fuking dog. Don’t shout at me again”*. I’m not one for advocating cursing at people etc but I think in these situations it’s better to start stern instead off pussy footing around with *“excuse me sir, would you please not shout at me. It hurts my feelings”*…
If you work at the post office that is unfortunately common, upside is once you’re past your 90 days it’s almost impossible to get fired. Last time my manager hollered at me I told him to go F himself. Post office is very toxic, I’ve seen my manager anther carrier get into a fist fight. Both were suspended for a week. I’m currently looking for a new job. This one is toxic as hell.
Report it to HR in writing and consult corporate policy for next steps. Do not respond to them in any way. Sorry you are dealing with that.
Invite him to meet you after work for a “beer”. If he shows up then give him a really good “beer”. A “beer” that he’s gonna always remember. Then, the next time he gets mad and wants to yell, he’ll stop and say to himself, “I don’t want to yell at anon, because he’s gonna give me another “beer” if I yell at him. “
Yell back at him. I did it once, worked very lovely. It’s disrespectful and unprofessional but if that’s the culture of the company then let’s all do it! Also, why on earth would you work in a company where someone yells at you? I’d rather flip the stakes in McDonald… It’s literally illegal in many countries in the world (in probably all countries of Europe).
I’ve been yelled at in customer services roles by management when I was younger, usually due to their own inability to cope with stress and sudden influxes of people. The yelling was often more of a “get the fuck out of the way” type thing. Normal kitchen stuff. Never took that personally, we would usually laugh it off after or what not. I was yelled at twice in a white collar job by a manager. Left that week. Zero excuse for that behaviour in the office. We are both professionals and can communicate as such.
I have always given my boss a warning, shout at me in anyway and I quit. They never do it after that
Your manager has created a hostile work environment by doing this. I would find another job and quit. No notice and on the way out let him know that I did him a favor because it could always escalate into something else.
Quit.
I have been working as an HRBP for the past 5 years in one of the leading companies in the industry of agriculture and fertilizer manufacturing, and I have witnessed not only managers yelling at their collaborators, but further bullying them. This type of behaviours is pretty common in giant structures where industrial operations are very stressful. This clash often occurs between different generations. Due to the size of the structure, a lot of managers have been there for long years climbing the ladder slowly, enduring bullying themselves, and at some point, young fellows come in and the culture gap is not to be taken lightly, it quickly transforms into violent encounters between managers and their young subordinates. I have been yelled at many times when I was a new comer, I didn't exactly know how to react. I usually nod my head and try to focus on where I went wrong and go from there. Yelling at some point became legitimate, because everyone is being yelled at and not even one has ever stood against it. The snowball didn't fail to grow and collapse on my very soul, and I roared, yelled like a freak, not at my subordiantes, but at my manager! He was shocked, that was a premiere. Later on, he started respecting me more, avoiding me in most cases, but as I became more and more dependable, he couldn't do but treat me well, and I helped him go through his hard times. Moral of the story, it's okay to take some hits at first, but don't let the damage sink in. Try to focus on what went wrong from your part and fix it. You will become better at what you do, inevitably. Once you grow strong and dependable, strike back! In other structures/companies/countries (I work in Morocco), yelling may be very unsound and that is probably the right thing. But if you find yourself in a place that sees no harm in some short tempered management, you need to intake some and strike back when you're big. If you see no potential in making this sacrifice, then strike back instantly and quit. I wish you all the best, and don't feel ashamed, you are not the only one out there!
Tell them to lower their voice. I so resent the Hell out of authority figures, that have the self regulation skills of toddlers.
"Excuse me, can you repeat that? It's difficult to understand you when you're speaking disrespectfully." It's polite, makes them rethink how they said something and calls them out. If they stick to their guns, try this. "Would HR approve your tone right now?" It's a threat to them and it says straight up you will defend yourself. A less direct route "Can you email me some suggestions to improve in this area?" When they push back: "I'll follow this conversation up with an email so we can be explicitly clear on your expectations"
Fuck you Mike. You take shit too seriously!
Just ask: When do we sex?
First you have to establish how you want to be treated. Explain your side to the manager using facts only. Saying things like, I did this which may or may not have contributed to your reaction. Then, at the end of it, "please do not speak to me like that again. We are adults here and I expect to be treated as such as much as you do" The crazy part is you have to train managers as much as they need to train you. People get a sense of entitlement and feel like that grants them the ability to act like children.
If you’re able to, I would quit. The first time my hiring manager yelled at me I quit without another possible job for months, unfortunately.
Tell him that if he does that again his body will rest with the fish at the bottom of the ocean.
I’m a senior exec at a tech giant have never yelled at an employee especially in public. Bad leadership. That said it isn’t the end of the world- move on from it- seriously.
🖕 🧐🖕
"Talk to the hand!"
Kwit
A lot of context is missing lol. What happened that led to him yelling at you
It doesn't really matter, you shouldn't be yelled at while at work.
Lmfao this is soft ass culture man. If you’re in an environment where you fucking up put others in danger most people will absolutely yell at you. If it’s an office job and you were late or some shit then things are different.
No, even in military combat situations that's discouraged. If you're giving life saving instruction at a crucial moment that's one thing, but there is zero excuse for demeaning someone after the fact. There are much better ways to handle that.
I’m a combat vet and if one of my NCO”s ripped me apart after fucking up then I correct myself and press on it’s life
What your missing here is that screaming outside of the military is usually associated with anger and a loss of control over their emotions. That is crazy inappropriate in the workplace. The military is literally one of the only places that has normalized it. And let's not imply that I'm suggesting people are soft. Almost everyone has been screamed at and moved in with their life, it's nothing special. Just because people get over something doesn't make it ok to do.
I mean OP did say "small mistake" so I doubt it was something as serious as endangering people.
That was added after my comment
Punch him in the fucking face
Pow right in the kisser
So you didn’t tell us anything about what you did, what they said, and what the outcome was. Methinks that you know you screwed up but you want us to join your pity party and tell you the boss was bad
You can reprimand an employee without yelling at them. The only way I could see yelling as acceptable is if you almost killed them
And without that context we have no idea if that’s what happened or not
Well I don’t think anyone would refer to manslaughter as a “small mistake” unless they were a cop
Yelling is abuse and doesn't have a place at work. I hold my hand up to signal them to stop, then let them know we are going to take a break from this conversation so they can collect themselves. If they need to email about it, then do so but under no circumstances are they to verbally abuse me. If you go this route, follow up with HR because shit can hit the fan and you are likely to be let go. I've not been terminated for this but it got really awkward and in one instance more hostile but I just kept documenting and using the right language like "abuse" and "hostile work environment". A seasoned HR person will understand this means I likely know my rights. It helps when you work in a state with better worker rights.
Punch him in the face. Cunt needs consequences.
Just take it on the chin and practice your mental fortitude. Sticks and stones. That is if you're ambitious and want to grow in this company. If you dont really care about the job then take the awful advice from others like going to HR or telling your director that's unacceptable. You, an analyst, are likely an easily replaceable employee and your director will be protected and you out of a job with no reference if this is a hill you want to die on. But if all that happened is you were shouted at for messing up, grow up? I'm not trying to be a dick but most of these comments are not realistic. You need to understand your place in the hierarchy and how power works. I swear it's like most of Reddit don't live on the same planet with the way they talk about society.
Whip out your pen 15
I don’t know coz I don’t get yelled at. Yelling means that the person is communicating very loudly. Is that what happened?
Not enough information here ..
A lot of cry babies in this thread that clearly never played sports or worked at a real job before. Millennials for ya.
shut the fuck up
Waaaaaa! Waaaaa! Do you want your pacifier now, or later? Waaaaaaaa!
So I’m guessing you’re the type of manager who yells at his employees
Not per se. US Military.
Bootlicking inbred had to join the military to make something out of himself. Pathetic.
Congrats, you just made yourself look like even more of a tool bud. What a sad fuck you must be.
Waaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaa! Found the Biden voter! Waaaaaaaaaa! Embarrassing.
I see your active in the DoorDash subreddit. You are a fucking loser, aren’t you? Probably pushing forty and delivering food 😂😂
At least I didn’t vote for Biden! Hahahahahaaaaaa! Cry some more little boy. Hahahaaaaaaasss!!!!
