The boss wanted the worker to explain every tiny detail of their work directly to him. If the worker’s explanation wasn’t perfect or if the boss didn’t understand something, he would get very angry and start yelling loudly.

These outbursts made the worker feel very upset, both about their work and about themselves. A worker at a new company in Bengaluru (a city in India) had a very upsetting experience with their boss, called the CEO.

During a video call, the CEO kept shouting very loudly and angrily. Because of this, the worker became so upset and scared that they had a panic attack, which is when someone feels very anxious and their body reacts strongly. The worker had to be taken to the hospital to get help.

When the worker started working there in early 2024 as a junior data scientist (someone who works with data to find useful information), they hoped to enjoy their job. But instead, they faced many problems because the boss would often change what he wanted, get very angry if things weren’t perfect, and act very irrational or crazy when things didn’t go his way.

The worker shared their story on a website called Reddit. They said that they had been treated badly for about 7 months while working at this small startup company. The boss was very strict and would control everything, set impossible deadlines, and scream a lot.
