RuddyFusion: How in tune are you with the goings on? Does the lady in question have a history of doing this? Or is it something else, namely she is an sacred cow and you missed it? There was one chick in my old place always doing diva upandan. Later I heard she was knacking oga at the top Make sure you understand exactly what is up before you take any further action. Also if there is no camera evidence, can you guarantee the witnesses will give an accurate account of what happened? Good luck 1 Like |

She might have concluded that there probably would be no consequences for her action. Subordinates tend to respect and revere supervisors that they know has the authority and capacity to punish their excesses and misdemeanor. Hence, her going to the HR to formally report the incident without remorse. In any case, as much as it depends on you, do all within your means to make peace with her. Your emotional balance, sanity and peace of mind is non-negotiable. 1 Like |

On a serious note, the fact someone is working under ur supervision doesn't call for unnecessary verbal abuse cos the subordinate might be there not just for the money but for the passion for the job. @Op, actions and reactions are equal and opposite. If u did Physics in secondary School, you would understand better. 1 Like |

Rhozabeth:You right bro, to be sincere the way that position gets into some people's head, some reasonable HR will call you n figure out your lapses, some HR will do it openly as if they never make mistake in their life. Likewise to some colleagues. The best thing as an HR you can communicate through mail or call the workers n address them in your office, watch them change. Be you HR or supervisor if you keep doing it aggressively one day you will push one of workers to the wall him/ her will tell you the history of your life that's if you are luck enough they don't use blow to shift one of your eyes. |

Before you correct somebody even at work, study the person behaviour next time so you will not get shouted at. I do not correct adults that are not friendly with. |

It's not easy as a boss/director nit to shout at least once at subordinates otherwise you go correct errors tire, and you the head will be the one to take the blame. Hence, always have rule book and monetary queries from Salaries, your shouting go reduce. However, don't over deduct your staff salaries as a Boss, and as a head, anyone that doesn't listen or improve, report to relevant authorities, and keep for one corner |

RuddyFusion: Without being present there I can tell the scenario that played out. It's a common thing with some not-so -sensible women. Their respect ends in the greeting. They greet you with"sir" but the next moment she insults you, notwithstanding that you're her boss. The next day she comes to you pleading for a favour from the same man she disrespected yesterday. As a manager or supervisor in a workplace continuous display of negligence from a subordinate can provoke you to raise your voice at times. If the establishment you work in is organised, and you are able to exercise your authority, a subordinate will not return the shout, knowing you can take action against her. But if it's not a place where rank is properly referenced, ( and I suppose that's the situation where you work for the fact that she ran to HR ahead of you in this sort of case----its not a case of you treating her unjustly), then you better carry your cross and swallow the insult. I speak from experience. So, as per your question, in a work environment where respect to rank is not regarded by the Management, a subordinate can always insult you. But where Management demands respect for superiors, it rarely happens. So, send your report to HR and explain her attitude that gave birth to your reaction. If the Management supports you and she's cautioned or disciplined, good for you. But if the Management treats the case nonchalantly, then insults from subordinates becomes a cross to be carried coz it will happen again. As long as you compel people to do their job there will be such clashes, when there are no consequences. 1 Like |

There may be underlying issues here. May be she was having a bad day or maybe she resents you correcting her. Bottom line is if you did not shout at her, you can maintain your stand if there were other witnesses. If you did shout at her, apologise and move on. If you are both recalcitrant, then both seek 3rd party and independent mediation. Hope this helps. |
