Hi,
I have just joined a company as an HR executive and am taking care of the entire HR gamut.
My problem: There is this one female manager in one of our sales departments. She is very rude, so categorical, and feels no shame in pinpointing any of the people below her for anything. She finds it unprofessional to point fingers at others' personal lives. She doesn't know how to speak gently and in a humanly bearable form. Whenever there is a problem or whenever she creates any scene, she is always on top of the other person. She feels no harm in screaming at employees in front of others. Please help me. How shall I handle her? She always finds reasons to fire innocent people with illogical reasons.
Thank you.

Yes, Shilpi, Mr. Thakkar is absolutely right. First, try to speak to that lady about how one should behave in the office. Second, warn her that she will be issued a warning letter in case of any misconduct. If this behavior continues, then you know what to do.

But ma'am, what is management? Is she also involved in it? At the same time, everybody knows she is very wrong in her actions. She has been working in this organization since 2006. I don't know how to deal with her, especially since my CEO is not well. I don't have anybody to talk to, and she is going all out to make my life miserable by creating HR issues and firing people.

Hi Shilpi,
First, you should try to sit with her informally and make her realize how few people are talking positively about her and how others are not. So, tell her to make changes to her behavior so that everyone in the organization will speak only positively. In this process, you will also support her.
If the above approach fails, then collect enough incidents with support from victims of her whimsical behavior. Next, confide in senior management and ask them to observe the situation. Take their opinion after some time. Once they are in agreement with you, propose to terminate her employment, considering you are at a junior level.
I have had a similar experience when our admin cum receptionist was behaving erratically (due to the feeling of reporting to someone 10 years younger like me) and lodged complaints against me to the CEO on various issues. I requested the CEO to observe both her and me. Within a month, the CEO himself proposed to terminate her employment.
Please have patience; things will eventually work out in your favor.

First of all, be patient. Pigs like her are present in every organization. The only way to deal with these kinds of people is to ignore them for some time.
You should first try to settle down in your new job, make friends with your colleagues, and try to find out the pros and cons about the company. After working for a few days, you will find the correct switch that will turn her off.
After working for a few months in the company, you will be in a good position to launch a grievance against her with the CEO. Tell him that she will ruin the reputation of the company.

Dear friend,
You have to call the Sales Manager and discuss with her calmly. Explain the importance of official decorum, decency, and appropriate behavior towards co-employees, fellow employees, and the feelings of others regarding the Sales Manager's attitude. Since the Sales Manager is not your subordinate or a co-employee in the HR Department, you may suggest to her to behave properly in an awesome manner. Things will be set right soon.

Dear Silipi,
I agree with Ramnaresh sir's views. Just settle down first, find out more weak points of her, as well as make conversations with the employees who are harmed by her and present the issue in front of the senior management.

Hello, Mr. Just be cool and intimate her about the way to talk to others. As she is an employee, tell her the right way in the organization. Observe her behavior and give her a warning if not maintaining the right conduct. Be friendly with others, share happiness, and help lessen the feeling of work burden in them.
