Have you ever yelled at your boss?

You must be good at what you do...Hopefully things will keep on this way for you. I get mad at my boss occasionally and don't yell but do voice my opinion.....she runs away...

Well, I think you should definitely consider yourself lucky that you have the freedom to actually yell at your boss. Obviously you carry a lot of respect in your place of work. Just curious though, as to what sort of situations bring it to the point where you feel you need to yell at him. Sounds to me that he is approachable and therefore things that bother you could be addressed prior to a yelling. But then again, I'm not there with you so I don't know.

Is this the boss that you think likes you in a non boss way? No, I've never yelled at my boss. But then I KNOW I would have gotten fired had I done that. lol

I've never yelled at a boss though there've been some I would have liked to have yelled at. My current manager is pretty good, sometimes a little too laid back, but I really have nothing I'd like to yell at her about. We get along fairly well..

Oh, your boss must have done you some gross things that's why he realized his mistakes and apologized. How nice that he apologized. Seldom would a boss do that. they would either fire you or transfer you to a department not to your liking. Lucky you, for not getting fired despite having yelled at him. Perhaps you can talk to him about it and apologize too for losing control of yourself sometimes.

I have never yelled at my boss nor never try it, either. You're quite lucky to have your boss apologized and gave you the full authority to yell at him. Just don't abuse the chance, remember, he's still your boss and your a subordinate.

I really want to yell at him for dictating me this and that but I don't have the courage to do so. I can't face the consequences. He will sure fire me. I don't think I can work long there if I yell at him. This will let hatred grow much more.

I've never really yelled at my boss and being as passive of a person as I am, I probably never will. I have had a pretty good long sit down and rant with my boss before because the job I work at has been treating me like crap for quite some time now and it's kind of ridiculous. The working conditions are horrible with the temperature being about 100 degrees each day and the air conditioning not even feeling like it's blowing any air in the building. They barely give me over twenty hours each week even though I know how to do almost every job in the building. Instead of giving me a few more shifts each week when they need extra help they just keep hiring more people. I just don't see how they can expect anyone to make a legitimate living off of a little over 150 dollars each week. I don't think I'll ever get frustrated enough to the point where I yell at my bosses but I've been pushed to the point plenty of times where I thought I was going to walk out any minute. The unfortunate thing is that not all of us have the choice. Truth is that without my crappy little job I have now I wouldn't have been able to go to college last year and wouldn't even be able to think about it this year. Working that crappy job does give me a lot more motivation to get through college and find actual dignified work. lol. Good luck with the place you work at

I would suggest that you learn how to communicate in a way that isn't yelling or angry. First, every time that you yell and scream, you are teaching yourself sub-consciously, that this is how you handle anger. The more you train yourself to do this when you are upset about something, the more difficult it will be to not do these things when it is someone you care about, a friend, husband, parents, children. The difference is, yelling and screaming might work with this boss, but yelling and screaming will heavily damage these other relationships. Before you do something you can't fix, learn a better way to handle being angry. Second, yelling and screaming and being mad, has physical consequences. Your body is not designed to handle yelling and screaming as a way to deal with anger. Yes it may feel good in the moment, but in the long run you are setting yourself up for a heart attack, or stroke. Find a better way. Thirdly, a new boss might decide that he needs you for the short term, because he doesn't yet know how everything works, or who has skills and who does not. Eventually if you yell and scream enough, he'll find someone to replace you. That does not mean that if he does something stupid, that you don't tell him "this bothers me and makes it hard to do my job". By all means, explain what is going on, and what is bothering you. But if you intend to continue screaming and yelling, you might as well look for another job now, before the axe falls.

No I haven't but man I wish I had! I really hated my boss, and I still do even though I don't work for him anymore! Including his suck-up supervisor who does nothing more than suck-up to him and take all the credits for all our work. Aaaaargh it really makes me sooo mad just thinking about those two! And I'm not the only one who hates them but also the rest of my co-workers in my department. I envy you for your courage. Yelling at our bosses doesn't necessarily mean that we are being insubordinate. Mostly it means that we've had enough of their abuse.

For me yes take time to know him better and always in humble way and patient because you need that job in your life if ever not then make owned your business.

Hi. Well, I probably won't but if I did I'll make sure I have a new job waiting, lol. I don't wanna get fired because of disrespecting my boss and yelling... A big, NO NO.

Yeah, I usually do in my mind and if really spoken, in a very careful and very chosen words. But I don't yell at people. Besides, my boss is also a friend so I don't want to test the water and face a storm if I don't have to. But in those select experiences, we both know that we need each other to work and we are doing ourselves a favor by disappointing each other. You're lucky that you're boss oven apologized to you in this situation. I have worked under people who have no absolute regards for their underlings. There re times when the said bosses took credit fro their underling's work (which is kinda unfair but the system permits it). You even get permission to to yell at him. I understand that he only permits it in private since your actions will undermine his authority but its good that both of you understand that the relationship should be two way and not one-way. Don't abuse the right though I cannot say the same in my situation.

Indeed yes I did it after the last day of my work when I came in to collect my relieving letter. I normally do not like getting into arguments as they end up spoiling relations and at the end of it you have to deal with the same persons time and again. It all started on the last day of my work when my boss called and told me to get some reporta completed. However as I was to busy saying goodbye to many friends at work it slipped of my mind and I forgot about it. When my boss called up sometime later and asked about the same I apologised and said that since I forgot about it i will do it right now. On hearing this he got angry and yelled at me and also hung. So I did not complete the report and let it for him to do. On getting into my vehicle to head back home he calls again and asks me about the report. I told him that I had not done it and left for the day. It had been about 3-4 months that I had been having problems with this boss and he also never made life easy for other staff. So the next day when I came to the office again and after having completed my work, he met me and started saying that I messed up last night and I was to be blamed for that. Trying to remove all his frustration he also said that since I am no more a part of the company he could raise his hands on me and start a fight. All this was happening amidst a small crowd. Having heard what he said, it certainly did not go well with me and I retialited back saying that since I am no longer a part of the company if my hands move then there may be blood stains on them. He got wild and told me is that the way you speak to you manager. Well it did not bother me and I said that if yu do not respect me neither will I. We almost got in a physical fight but some friends stopped us and it ended there. He walked away and I finished my other work. I gave me a feeling of satisfaction. I honestly did not want to end it that way after having worked for a good 3 years in the company and having made so many good friends except one but only because he treated me that way on that day, I yelled back at him..

lilybug does that not worry you some a boss sucking up to you like maybe he thinks you're really sexy and watch it,he may try to put a move on you too. I would be a little leery of him now after what you told us. Either I am wrong and under his bluster hes not such a bad guy or else hes going to put a move on you. so just watch him for awhile. I sincerely hope I am wrong. I am imaging you are still fairly young and quite attractive too so just take care. good luck God Bless.

Maybe he knows you are right in your reasons for being mad at him. Some people have more respect for someone who shows strength, even if it comes out as yelling. I like the fact that he pulled you to the side so that there was a little more privacy than to go off in public. To be able to accept another person's communication without going off on you right back shows that he also has great strength. I'm sure if you had a different boss, that you might get in trouble. Just hope that this guy stays for a long time. Have a great week!!!

It sounds like you have it made at that job! Not everyone is allowed to yell at the boss. I did that once myself. I had the job from hell, at least that's what it felt like. Little did I know at the time that the company was usng illegal practices to make most of the money they did. I think that's why my boss was always yelling at me, though. If I made a typing error, he'd say all kinds of horrible things to me, like "If you make one more typing error, I'll put my fist through your face" and "I'll kick you through that window!". Yeah, he really did say horrible things like that to me. Once, when he said he'd put his fist through my face, I said, "If you do that it'll be the last thing you ever do". But my comebacks weren't always yelling. I found out I had strep throat while working there. My doctor called while I was at work and told me. I went into my boss's office and told him I had strep throat, since he was hassling me about being sick and I said, "You know, I'd LOVE to kiss you right now." What I meant was I'd love to give him strep throat and I'm pretty sure he knew that. I'm glad I finally left that place. When the FBI and undercover police detectives came in to officially charge him with mail fraud and misrepresentation among other things, that was the day I quit. His father, who also worked there, came in and told us typists that we were ONLY to answer questions and not to offer any information. The thing was, I didn't even know this was an illegally-run operation until they were charged! Once I knew, I quit. I heard later that even his wife quit on him. She divorced him and took him for all she could. Good girl! LOL

I yelled at a boss once. I was fed up with her practces at the daycare i worked at. She told me id i didnt like it i could leave. So i left. She didnt expect that. My dad said that i shouldnt have burned down my bridges like that, but i accept my choices.

Sometimes, you have to let it out even if it means yelling. I had to yell at a boss once myself. To say the least we are good friends now and I enjoy talking with him. I actually ending up falling for him, but we have not started a relationship yet. We may never, but he got my point when I was working for him. He even offered me assistant manager after I quit once. We have never had a problem since. He has recently asked me to work for him again, so I am considering it.

No I did not yelled at my boss however I took him to court!. I had industrial accident witch left me disable to the rest of my life. My boss was't interested with compensating my treatment so I had no other option as to find good lawyer. The case was on three years but I won.
