Never

That would be the last time they would yell at me 😊 I would go any extend to make their life a living hell post that

It depends

In what world would this ever be normal

Eh I’ve had it. Just let it roll off. If it become a thing then say something

Military, college sports, yes. Any other role, absolutely not. Never.

Ex-BCG in Italy: yes if the other people were not on the client side. In the US: no.

It’s not but it happens all the time

When your manager yells at you in front of other people we all know it’s a problem with the manager, not you.

Is it one of the Middle East offices?

No, it's a NAMR office but the manager is from a different country

No

You should calmly say that if they want to talk you can set up time offline, but it isn’t appropriate to discuss this infront of the team. Makes him look like a big baby

When I worked in the defense industry in the 90s, caveman behavior and public belittlement were much too common. In the shipbuilding world, it all originated with Admiral Rickover whos been dead for decades but is still revered.

KPMG, perhaps…

Did you do something really stupid?

Still? Would that be okay? I do not think I’d need to yell at an associate if they did something stupid.

Try yelling back … no not really. I don’t think that yelling is on brand for the firms you mentioned. We live in 2022 - that doesn’t work anymore. Report.

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
