Ask HN: When (if ever) is it ok to yell at someone?
Is there ever an appropriate time to yell at someone?
Should employers keep their cool at ALL times?
Is that part of the job description?
- refurb 14y agoYelling is rarely the most effective way to communicate. I would say that it depends on the people involved. I for one would not tolerate being yelled at. I have been yelled at in the past and promptly made it known that if it happened again, I would not longer work for that person (or company). However, other people (usually yellers themselves) may not have as big an issue with it.
- chunkbot 14y agoIt's never ok to yell at someone.
- byoung2 14y agoI've only been yelled at by a boss once, and I immediately filed a complaint with HR. When they did nothing to follow up, even after there were numerous complaints (one employee even quit), I resigned a week later.
