[QUOTE="30RedWonka, post: 1144288, member: 47859"] Sure thing worldwide. An example of "mild behavior" is assigning impromptu work to a team member who is currently out of favor with the manager. The manager assigns an undesirable task to someone as a punishment. This type of task may be complex with an immediate due date. If the employee questions the relative priority of the task, the manager acts upset and threatens to reassign the task to another team member. The verbal threat usually occurs loudly in an open office area. The team believes the intent is to humiliate the employee in the presence of all team members. A psychological threat would be when the manager publicly commands (in demanding tone) an employee to drop everything and meet in a private office. Once in the office the manager proceeds with a barrage of ultimatums. This manager says things in the heat of the moment that they don't mean like "There's the door if you don't like it" or "I'll have you demoted". An event like this occurred recently after a disagreement over a minor issue. The employee involved exceeds management's expectations. The manager relies on this person to set strategy in addition to keeping the team on course. The employee is stunned because s/he isn't accustomed to begin scolded like a child and publicly humiliated. [/QUOTE]
