Current Events > Worst Managers are ones that rub it in...

(+) Yeah! (+)

when someone on their Staff admits fault. Like Jesus, just tell them the mistake they did and have them correct it and move on. I get having to reinforce your points if they constantly make the same mistake over and over again,. However, if its their first time making the mistake and they admit it's their fault don't start asking rhetorical questions like "What's the point of double checking if you're not going to catch these kinds of things!?!?!??" or "Do you have eyes? Why aren't you using them?"

I'm in the accounting team for AP as a Senior Manager and the accounting team for AR's Senior Manager keeps doing this crap. She wonders why there such a low retention rate with her team, most of them voluntarily leaving/quitting on their own while almost most of my team has been sticking around me for quite some time. When I pointed this out to her she goes, "Don't fucking question how I do my job, there's a reason I got to this position way before you did!" Managers like her are just so damn toxic to work with, I would've also quit if I had to report under her as well.

However, if its their first time making the mistake and they admit it's their fault don't start asking rhetorical questions like "What's the point of double checking if you're not going to catch these kinds of things!?!?!??" or "Do you have eyes? Why aren't you using them?"

Isnt this the sort of thing that you could bring to HR in this day and age? I thought the whole scream in your employees faces thing went away when the concept of hard work for fair pay went out the window.

It's weird that keeping up morale seems to go completely to the wayside for managers. You'd think that would be a large part of keeping up efficiency

My fault for not being clear, she's not literally screaming that to their face, it's what she's typing to them. It's just kind of annoying she bitches about her staff to me constantly. I get she's a perfectionists and she is a VERY hard worker willing to go the extra mile for the company... it just feels to me at the expense of her staff. We're running into a problem of not enough people filling in the seats for AR because of the low retention rate and I think her attitude is main reason for it.

You think right? The only reason the company hasn't done anything to her because she's a "High achiever" kind of person that has good work ethics, but like I said I just feel it's at the expense of her staff that pays the price for it.
