Truly cathartic.  You should try it sometime.

These are people I can go scorched earth on when they fuck up.

I don't yell at people, I hate confrontation. Seems pointless when I can simply put laxatives in their food or sabotage their work and get them fired.

My flatmate actually did that to her superior's smoothie. Only problem was some guy from marketing who was alright drank it too and they were both super sick and had to go home. Collateral damage she says laughing. So basically I don't fuck with that crazy bitch.

How do you get people fired by yelling at them?
Title: Re: Yelling at people at work

You yell at them, and then you get them fired by yelling at their bosses.  Pretty simple.

As long as you never stop yelling someone will eventually get fired.

Are you yelling at people for like, egregious fuck ups, or due to general incompetence? Every job I've been in has had a few people who get by with shit effort, and some people who just suck.

These aren't employees.  They are outside people I pay lots to manage my shit, so I don't really give much of a fuck if they enjoy my company.

We're finally letting our shittiest employee (also the longest tenured non-management employee) go this weekend, because I bitched to the boss enough and he KEPT fucking up, even after being told not to do certain things repeatedly.  FEELS GOOD MAN.

Would not happen. If you went fuck it all and ignored the org chart and yelled and me you and your boss would be taking an unpaid vacation.

They fucked up a shipment to a brand new account (one we've been working on since last November, and one of the biggest most important accounts in New York), and sent the product that was to go to that account across the country (some of it was supposed to be coming they, sent all of it).  This is because they forgot to file something easy months ago, completely forgot about it, and then didn't double check when I asked about it.

This caused a cascade of other problems, none of which was addressed in a timely manner.

This came up as a question for the job i just got - "when and how do you dress down someone who has caused a significant issue?"

Needless to say the answer they were looking for revolved around them not wanting a manager who was going to come in and start shouting at everyone
Title: Re: Yelling at people at work
Post by: Human Snorenado on August 23, 2013, 06:07:15 PM
Generally, criticism should be constructive... it's difficult to give people helpful advice on how their conduct/behavior/actions are a fuck up if they don't recognize it as such.  I always tried to view those situations as "coachable moments" for lack of a better term... first I'd make sure the employee understood how their actions weren't acceptable/resulted in an unfavorable outcome, and then we'd explore what they could have done better in that instance, and finally how to apply that going forward.

And, needless to say, stuff like that should be handled one on one or with an HR person present if it's necessary.  Praise publicly, criticize privately.

...yelling is more fun, though.

I definitely wouldn't ever yell at an employee.  But someone I contract to do work for me?

I find that I don't need to yell at people and I'm in charge of projects that cost tens of millions of dollars as well as 11 full time employees (not counting contractors).

I always make sure I get shit on the written record.  The "he said, she said" stuff goes away if people know they can't pull that.  An e-mail that summarizes a meeting or a phone call works great.

The only time I've been yelled at is when I worked the Census. On our first day in the field my team drove out to our area only to discover it was literally a fucking lake, with no houses anywhere. So we went back to HQ to log out and go to lunch, but right as we arrived a local district manager showed up. She was surprised we were back and started going the fuck off on us. "This is why people don't trust the government, you're getting paid good money and you can't even stay in the field for an hour? Where the fuck is your supervisor?!?!"

So we had to lay out the facts about, you know, being sent to gather Census data in a fucking lake with no houses anywhere. She apologized and said she shouldn't have yelled without knowing the facts, but we still sent in a complaint and got her demoted  :umad

went all Malcolm Tucker over the mail to some cunt that was crying about me not distributing the workload fairly, he is a friend of a friend I known for some years and I got this job to that ungrateful little shit and now he is telling me how I should do my fucking job.

Also my boss actually went looking for me in the bathroom while I was fucking pissing to yell at me because there is still a lot of work to do and the day was almost over, I want to piss in his bald fucking head so bad!

actually it was the opposite, I was being too nice and they took it as a weakness.  one was a cokehead rapist with tribal tattoos and needs no further explanation and the other guy who eventually turned out to be worse was in his higher 30's, hated me because i was "young and had no drive", and who "liked me as a person but sucked to work with", but really he just hates his life, ended up quitting to pursue a career in medical billing and coding (lol), he has a reputation for being a cunt all around town and both of them have made 3 other cooks walk out on their job. so...

At work, if customers give me attitude, I am very much allowed to give it back and make it so they can't come back for a few weeks if they're aggressive. I am not used to this sort of power when dealing with customers due to my previous work neutering me so much as to be a nicebot.

As an NCO in the Army--in the infantry--I always found that yelling is for chumps. You can inflict so much more emotional terror with normal tone of voice.

I've been managing people for 20 years, and I don't think I've ever yelled at anyone. I've had plenty of my workers tell me that I'm scary, so I think you're right.
