I couldn’t care less about this actor. Don’t even know who he is.
That said, yelling at people you work with is never appropriate man. That’s verbal abuse and “they screwed up” is not an excuse. As the power differential grows between two coworkers, it becomes even less acceptable.
Or, you know, you handle it like a healthy, well adjusted, adult with anger management skills. That’s also an option.
If someone can’t handle mistakes being made without screaming, they have no business being in management and need to spend a little more time in therapy.
Okay?
I have worked on manufacturing floors and egregious safety violations are an immediately fireable offense. Minor violations get one or two serious talks followed by…. Once again, termination. Someone who can’t be bothered to follow safety protocols shouldn’t remain on the floor.
Yelling at people is not only a great way to make for a hostile workplace for everyone in the general vicinity, its also not a particularly effective way to deal with the problem.
You're assuming they haven't tried that road. Again and again and again.
Some people need the volume turned up to get it
Then they aren’t a good fit for the position. They need to be moved somewhere they are a better fit or terminated
As I said in another response, not only is yelling a great way to make the workplace hostile for everyone in the general vicinity but it’s also not a particularly effective way to deal with conflict
There are countless better methods to deal with a problem.
You're 10-ply, bud.
What about punching people you work with? When is that acceptable?
Really stupid take, given context. I've seen people do shit that could kill their coworkers or bystanders. A good yelling at is the least that's deserved, sometimes.
