How would you handle someone who was loud an blowing off steam

Working as an receptionist, there were at times clients who expected to see their case worker would often blow up toward the desk person. All the while that person, asked them to calm down and walk outside an come back in to start the conversation again. Some said thanks they felt better by doing so, we didn't raise our voices when they were going off. But redirected them , to help them clear their heads and start over.

Dental Assistant at Was St 3 Offices For Same Owner Fo Bo

Actually I’d probably let them vent as long as it’s not in front of a client or a patient and if their not being aggressive or vulgar. No ones perfect and we have our days some more than others.i would also talk to them if it’s a constant thing in private or with another comworker you trust for certain purposes to let them know how you feel And come up with a better form of venting . I hope I could help

The correct answer is that upper management should have fired the abusive supervisor's stupid ass long ago, but he had a pal that was higher up and protected him.. This is one of the major problems in Amerika today.. Scumbags like my boss getting promoted and being drunk with power..

I would probably get fired but I would ask him to take a short break and gather himself before he over reacted and did something he didnt mean to say or do.

Ask clarifying questions to find out what the real underlying issue is and then assist the caller with a solution
