| Jul 22, 2022 at 20:43 | comment | added | Technophile | @Alvaro often managers are made by promoting someone who is an expert direct contributor. However they may not have (yet) developed the personality and people- and organizational skills required to be a good manager. A master craftsman may have infinite patience for their work, but be frustrated by a seemingly-careless or -incompetent novice, or one who blindly adheres to rules someone taught them that don't fit the situation, who won't do what is required of them. Like using a flakey keyboard or sticky mouse. Need a different mindset. | |

Every good manager knows this. it's been about 50-50 with regard to the many managers I've worked with. One in particular was notorious: People said one could tell where Jim (not that project lead's real name) was simply by listening for where all the shouting was coming from. | |

| Jul 21, 2022 at 13:34 | comment | added | FreeMan | @CTeegarden I'm not sure the manager understands "praise in public, criticize in private", just a couple of comments up, the OP stated that the mgr has done this before to other employees. For the OP, I would, unfortunately, expect this behavior to be fairly common from the manager and brace yourself for it. It's not the right way to do things, but it seems it's his way. Sadly... | |

| Jul 20, 2022 at 19:45 | comment | added | user79963 | I agree with the others saying it should have been handled in private. It's best to let it drop as I'm sure your manager has come to realize it as well. Bringing it up again might cause another flareup. It's best to just use this as another data point in building an internal model of your manager for guiding your future interactions. Sounds like you've already done that. | |
| Jul 20, 2022 at 19:05 | comment | added | Alvaro | That's the mark of a bad manager though. Praise in public, criticise in private. Everyone that cares about managing knows this. | |

| Jul 19, 2022 at 22:09 | comment | added | Wesley Long | This is the right answer. "An intern didn't follow protocol" is hardly a new thing. | |

| Jul 19, 2022 at 21:46 | comment | added | BrainOverflow | Definitively. It is not the first time they blame a coworker in a meeting so I kind of saw it coming... but never knew it would be me! haha nonetheless, I will not make a great deal out of it since workplace well-being is a priority for me. Have a nice day! :) | |
| Jul 19, 2022 at 21:43 | comment | added | DarkCygnus♦ | Glad I could help. Although do be aware if manager tends to behave this way in the future. Not everybody is your friend at the workplace, and sometimes people may be envious of your success and try to take it or make you feel less | |
