I am rarely scolded by boss, but it does happen. When it does what I do is read Shankara Bhashya which I always carry in my bag. Or may be Kashika.Now, you will ask me what these crazy sounding things are. Please ask!

That's normal and why do we trap into bad mood for it? If you are scolded by your boss, the best way to deal with it is making a self-scolded to your boss.

It's not easy...i know. I worked with a boss that was very, very critical and often in front of people. I don't know how I did it but I work in the public and I know that it is important to the customer to be friendly. It was challenging at times to be sure. I always questioned my bosse's reasoning behind these tactics. Why would she come in and tear me apart for something trivial and then expect me to treat her customers with a smile. I'd bite my tongue...I needed this job to support my kids and myself I just listened to her ...hard as it was at times. If she didn't like my work ...she could fire me...otherwise...oh well she had to pay me....I wasn't walking.she did not fire me...been there 15 years. got a new boss that is so much nicer now.

Fortunately, I seldom get scolded by my supervisor. I work at a young company. Most of employee have similar age. My superviosr is two years older than I. He has a nice temper and seldom get angry. But I know enduring being scolded is a necessary lession we must learn since we enter into professional society. So keep our mood happy and peaceful in spite of being solded by others. Our life is decided by ourselves.

Hi Chingmerry, We are suffering that as an employee. My boss is easy to get grumpy as well if things is not getting on his way. It's harder for me because i am his assistant, i am the one who supposed to make things happen right and correctly, but mistake did happens. What i do is, i will go back to my seat, take a deep breath, and eat something that i like or listen to some music that i like, than think what i should do next.

Its is the bad day for me When I will be scolded by my boss. Its not easy to take it especaially if its unfair not true. But If he scold with positive criticism I will force myself to take it . For me to grow and learn more in my life experiences. Sometimes If I cannot control my feelings I will answer humbly in my right opion and if not listen better to behave and quiet.

the reason why i would complain so much,because i was often scolded by boss for unfair reason or was misunderstood.that was the key,if we do have made mistake,i would accept the scolding willingly.

It is a very difficult and sad situation to get scolded by boss. I think the best way is to try to calm yourself and don't try to write any emails or take any action in that tensed mood. If the mistake is in your part, try to understand the mistake and decide and make sure that you will not repeat the msitake. There are a few people who take quick decisions like resigning the job in the agony of getting scolded by boss. They won't think about the practical part of it or what hppens if they don't get a job soon or what is state of economy or are there vacancies in other companies..etc. My friend Asha has turned of her papers when she was scolded by her boss for a small reason.

you are right,it is not wise to quit a job for the scolding by a small reason,sometimes boss won't have in rememberane for second day what mistake you have took in yesterday.
