The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

It's that administrator's job to deal with this, not yours or any other teacher's. What would happen if you told the admin how distracting this is for you and your students? Would they deal with it then? Or you may have to go above their head and complain to other higher ups...This teacher should not be allowed to continue yelling like that at kids.

That is a tough one, shouldn’t be but is. Those yellers are typically intense in all areas of their lives and so admin may need to buck up and coach up or out for the betterment of the team and definitely the kids. I would encourage you to say something to your colleague, maybe record it so she can hear herself and then if that doesn’t work insist your admin. support your team by addressing it based on the expectations of your team. As a colleague though, you should feel comfortable and know the importance of the role you play in holding team members accountable. That person may think they are fine if they haven’t heard concerns brought to them by colleagues.

Mostly to vent, but wonder if anyone else has had to deal with this…my team consists of a partner, shareholder, 3 associates, myself and a legal assistant. We have a busy docket, 70 active litigation files. For over a year I have been dealing with inexperienced legal assistants, mostly coming from other areas of law. The partner relies heavily on me to clean up the messes, fix the mistakes, etc., and HR is on me for doing too much admin, i.e., non-billable work.

At my last workplace, I had to follow up with an HR person six times to get something. Is it rude when I went up to her in person to check in again she literally told me “just go be busy and come back later.” 😡 she also was mad when I took my time for my ID photo (it’s just a picture), because I wanted to look good, but then had to go back and re-do my coworkers because his eyes were closed and he rushed his in comparison? Idk just venting🤭

This might be controversial but I work with several older Black folks, and it's from that I've experienced the most criticism or judgment at work.
