Trending @Accenture; What to do if a manager scolds publicly
Yesterday in a meeting, I saw a senior manager scolding someone who reports to him (an AM). There were about 15 people from different teams on the call. The AM hadn’t done anything wrong, but he was still scolded very harshly without any major reason. I’ve been working in Accenture for a long time, but this was the first time I’ve seen something like this. Is this normal? And how should one respond in such situations both if the person is my own manager, and if it’s a senior manager from another team?

Why do you care? Even that AM doesn't care just listen and forgot. No one cares everyone is busy in their own personal problems

some people still have empathy unlike you

Bhai ek bar sun loge toh manager kya duniya tumhe sunaigi jisene sunaya use usese bhi 4 guna jyada acche se insulting feel kera do usi meeting algi bar professional behaviour kya hota hai samgh aa jayega senior hai iseka matlab app kissi ko publicity humiliation/ insult nhi ker suckte

No matter what, you don't accept public humiliation. Give a strong response so that never he/she should be able to repeat this and always give a threat to write official complaint to HR.

Scold him back publically 😊

If he has not done anything wrong and also if he don't care about this cycle hike/promotion, he must take stand for himself. I saw my friends who are in SSE amd TL level they took the stand bcuz in there case everyone new they are were guilty.

Bhai nice username 😅

I guess the only way to remain sane in corporate is to ignore that you cant control. Leave the rest and do not lend your mindspace to such things! But if this repeats then a formal action is needed from AM

Complaint can be made but nothing will happen.
Its the culture in this organisation.


Let him handle his issues. But if it comes to you give him back with the same severity.

Kick his/her ass if insult infront of everyone... If any issues need to talk one to one in professional way...

I have seen team leads scolding juniors in meetings, which is shameful behaviour.
As far as responding is concerned, there is a very good trick for it. Just ask that person to repeat that offensive thing again, they won't do that in exact words and ask for explanation in front of everybody if there was no fault of yours. That person will feel more guilty to repeat such a thing
