How do you handle it when your boss is scolding you?

hi, actually there are many times that my boss scolding us,in the first time we experienced that my co-worker cried but me was just silent,but when we already knew our boss like he will scold us but in afternoon he will be fine and cool again.my boss just wanted to release his anger but after that he will be okay again.

It's really hard for me, as I'm really sensitive, and I can take criticism as personal attack. The first time when my ex-boss scolded me was even for something that was uncalled for. Then I felt really sad and angry at the same time, but I kn ow how to keep my cool in situations like this, so I just nodded. There have been some times when I found scolding really offensive and totally unnecessary (for example, there was one time, when my boss planned to re-decorate the whole counter I was working at, and replacing every single thing... now then it was even an hour to put everything out, and then remembering where he wanted me to put what, obviuously, it took me more time to be ready, and he told me that I must have been late if I'm not ready... which was funny, because he didn't even pay for that one hour when I put the stuff out!!!... also, once he told me that a wallet was missing from the display and that h's sure someone's stolen it, and I didn't pay enough attention... turned out that he couldn't even count, and all the wallets were there o_O)... but if the criticism is 100% real, I'm always trying to do my best to improve.

I think some boss are very insulting , I am lucky I dont have to deal with such rudeness . Whenever my boss is scolding me , I will listen If I now I am wrong because that is just making me better and I always check with my boss before doing most things and double check if I have to because she like that . SO I hardly make any mistake and I am employee of the month lol .

I have always felt the same way when scolded by any boss. imakesw me feel like a little kid being reprimanded for taking from the ookie jar.

I hate being scolded especially in front of other people. And I guess, it helps his ego to see me cry. But realizing that it is like he is taking so much power over me, I learned not to give a budge every time he would throw fits. So I just let him say whatever he has to say then asks him if he is done talking so i could leave. Well, the boss I was talking about was my brother in law. I used to work for him in his pharmacy. My job was practically every thing in that business including co-managing it but I was treated as an employee and no special treatment whatsoever.

Hi, If the case is valid and I am at fault, I seek pardon. In case it just a mere act of showing who's boss, than I keep quiet and seek justice which may not be slow in coming. People who may witness the confrontation would see who is right and wrong for that matter and if I feel I am on the right side, then I am at peace. I may go on my work as if nothing has happened. If I am on the right direction, "Nemo me impune lacessit" if I have to borrow a popular motto.

I'll take constructive criticism when it's justified and delivered in a respectful way - after all, we all make mistakes - but I won't take abuse. Back when I used to work for other people, I did sometimes get the occasional boss who tried to bully me, abuse me in front of other workers and generally make me feel inferior. I found that the only way to deal with those types was to lock horns with them - stare them down and they'd usually back down. These bullying types are almost always week inside, that's why they feel the urge to try to make other people feel small.
