What to do when our boss yells at us?

Question

what are youe opinion.........

what are your opnion

Answer 1

Put him in his place and tell him that you are not a child and that for someone in his position to use yelling as a way to communicate a desire or thought is irresponsible and shows no integrity for the position he holds. I said that to the CEO of a company I worked for and he gave me a promotion for having the balls to step up with logic and he apologized. I was impressed with him then...not about the promotion but admitting he was wrong for taking that stance....especially when the issue was no big deal at all. The person he was yelling at would never step up to defend himself in the first place. But I let the CEO have it right in front of everyone to see.

Answer 2

I had a boss that was a real yeller and for a long time I knew it was partly just him and partly the nature of our business, I was his office manager, so I let him rant, took what applied to me, made amends and went on - but then it got to where it was being sarcastic and quite personal, so in one of his fits I let him get it out of his sytem, I cried, and I went into his office, closed the door, and simply said, you have caused me undue stress and tears for the last time, I resign immediately due to verbal abuse. He just stared at me like he didn't have a clue - I handed him a documented list of every time he had yelled, date and time, it if was blowing off steam and the progression as to how it had become personally aimed at me. I also forwarded it to our headquarters. He kept his job for another five years before someone finally got the nerve to ask him to take early retirement. We'd been through more employees than any company I'd ever worked for, I did the hiring and firing too, so I got all the stories! It's rude, ill-mannered, unprofessional - I do factor in a person's position and stress levels - but when it becomes personally aimed, it crosses the lines, when it was general complaints and whining, I endured. Can't tell you what you need to do, only you know what you're willing to put up with. I had reached a point it was making me physically ill. I had no choice but to quit.

Answer 3

Let him/her finish yelling, stand your ground and address the stuff he/she was yelling about in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, don't let them interrupt until you are done, and then let them know that 1) they are totally unprofessional and out of line for yelling like that 2) then next time it happens you will be forced to report him/her to HR/Labor Board/or their boss. It creates a hostile work environment and should not be tolorated. Don't forget to document this occurence and any others to support your complaints; if you trust some of your co-workers, ask them to do the same or at least vouch for yours.

Answer 4

When the boss yells at you, here are your options:

1. Post his/her email address in a gay chat room

2. Report him/her to the Department of Homeland Security as a Bin Laden supporter who just recently purchased a dozen assault rifles.

3. Find a crack whore with open herpes lesions, and have her put her sore covered lips on his/her phone, coffee mug etc.

If that does not work for you, just go to your local bar, have a few drinks, and laugh it off because lets face it, you really need that paycheck.

Answer 5

Let him vent! Then, if it is reasonable for you, start looking for another job. You do not deserve that abuse, no matter what any of you did. That person is lookin' to die young.

One of my bosses did that and then stormed out, but he was only yelling at me because I touched the thermostat. The other lady in the office said don't listen to him and she came to my defense when he returned. He didn't speak to me for 3 or 4 days. After that, he started leaving the office when he got mad at someone, then pill bottles appeared on his desk, so I guess he got help for it. He was a much calmer man after that.

I didn't leave because I was a single mother and this job was close to home and child care and school. And, he improved soon after.

Answer 6

Go above your boss and speak with his/her boss. If that doesn't work, go to HR. HR should handle it without you getting any backlash from your boss. If your boss does get angry with you, call HR back and they will handle him/her.

Yelling is uncalled for in the professional world. If the company doesn't care, you probably should look for another job. I'm sure getting yelled at is not in your job description so you're not getting paid enough to be treated that way.

Answer 7

Everyone has a bad day where we are fed up and bite someones head off. Managers and Supervisors are people too although I have questioned a few I have worked for. My current supervisor could blow the roof of the place with his antics but I know it's not personal so let him blow. If it was personal, I'd be looking for a new job.

Answer 8

Start submitting resumes to other jobs, get an interview and get hired elsewhere, then yell back at his azz. If he asks you to resign, you can laugh in his face and say, oh, you want my 2 weeks notice, I was leaving anyway! Or you can do it the "corporate way" and tape record him on different occasions and then turn it into HR unless he owns the company, then it won't do any good.

Answer 9

Listen and then express your opinion professionally. No need to yell back at the boss, you have to show posture.

Answer 10

Well I used to work in construction dept at the phone co. and these managers thought they had to yell and threaten us so we would work harder. I kept being polite and when that didn't work I yelled back at them a few times....seems they respect you if you stand up and scream back at them.
