The onus is on the higher up to show best practice. They are paid extra for that.

So many apologists here for bad behaviour.

oh, so what you're saying is that it's ok for someone to shout at their boss but not vice versa......right.

You really have some twisted logic.

From what I've seen of the workplace its a one way deal.

The shouting always starts higher up and echoes down the canyon.

He replied in kind by shouting and balling.

Who is the bigger fool-

the fool or the fool that follows!

Doesn't say that in the OP. Says she was shouted at for leaving her workplace without permission. Where she has worked for less than a year. She's the fool for thinking it was ok to absent herself from her workplace. If she hasn't got the sense to realise that she needs to apologise for her stupidity and assure her boss that it won't happen again then I don't hold out much hope for her keeping her job. Being shouted at once is not being bullied.

You're attempting to defend her foolish behaviour by diverting the blame onto her 'shouty' boss. Exactly what she's hoping to do, co-incidentally. But it won't stick! What's the betting that, when it comes to getting her workmates to back her up they all slink off and 'forget' what they heard?

I've not defending anyone.

Shouting is wrong whomever it comes from. Time period doesn't matter. Thats apologist Thatcherite managerist rubbish.

However, the higher up you are common sense would tell you that it is just not done.

The workmates will probably slide away. I can't blame them. Work is hard to find. I understand that.

I don't think anybody here is condoning the bad behaviour except you. Nobody swans off out of the office for a personal reason without being reprimanded, if not disciplined.

Does disciplinary procedure include being shouted at?

Very weird if it is.

Oh the irony... the employee trotted off to the post office for about 20 minutes - absent without permission. You seem to think that that is ok.

And that's BS - pure and simple! Thatcherite? and what on earth does 'managerist' mean.

Yes IF the boss 'shouted and bawled' it was, perhaps, an over-the-top reaction. Thing is OP's friend did wrong in the first place. If she raises a grievance it will merely inflame the situation - and she's going to risk losing her job - because she behaved irresponsibly by leaving the workplace during work hours on a personal errand without permission.

Now what on earth has Thatcher to do with all this? Your hysterical response is on a par with that of the OPs friend.

Mmmm could your daughter forgot to mention that her leaving her desk for 20 minutes actually led to some issues? It doesn't make sense to be shouted at our disciplined for taking a break without informing the boss but if she was for instance supposed to print some papers for him to go to a meeting and he didn't get them didn't know where he was supposed to go and ended up late and looking like a fool at the meeting your can see why he would have ended up shouting and considering the issue worth a disciplinary.
