RECD: March 2025H

Background

Procudere

This is a preregistered experimental manipulation of CWV in the workplace.

Participants were shown the following:

We have previously asked participants on Connect to describe their workplace and an episode involving their manager. Today, we will show you a response from one participant and ask for your thoughts about it.

We first asked participants to describe the general atmosphere of their workplace. In the following page is what one participant wrote:

HIGH CWV CONDITION:
Where I work is pretty cut throat and competitive. you cant trust anybody. Success is all about taking advantage of others where you can and not letting other people play you for a sucker. to get by,you need to know how to play the game better than everyone else.

LOW CWV CONDITION:
Where I work is pretty supportive. you can really trust other people and it feels like other people trust you. the people who get ahead are collaborative and honest.it’s a culture of cooperation, people go out of their way to help eachother. success is all about teamwork.

Then, they reflected on how they would behave in this workplace:

Try to picture yourself as a manager in this workplace, supervising workers in this environment day after day. And imagine that this culture or environment is something you have to operate in, not something you yourself could change.

In the space below, please write 1-2 sentences about how you would act as a manager if you were in this work situation, supervising others.

[OPEN RESPONSE]

Then, they read:

We asked the same participants to describe a specific episode in which their manager wanted to get an employee to perform a task at work.

The same participant went on to describe the following episode:

One time, my manager wanted one of the other workers to get a project done faster. he said there was a big deadline and leadership is upset.i guess he was under a lot of pressure. when the manager saw th eworker taking a break, he walked over and shouted at him, he was very angry. he was like… you better pick up the pace or there will be consequences.

Then, participants completed the following measures: Open response of relationship impact, relationship impact, compliance impact, hypothetical behavior as the manager, and an attention check.

Finally, participants completed a workplace version of CWV, as a manipulation check.

Hypotheses

1. Participants in the High CWV (Competitive Worldview) condition, as opposed to the Low CWV condition, will expect greater relationship benefit (or lower relationship harm) as a consequence of managerial dominant behavior.
   
2. Participants in the High CWV condition, as opposed to the Low CWV condition, will report a higher likelihood of dominant behavior as a manager.
   
3. The relationship between condition (High CWV = 1; Low CWV = 0) and self-reported hypothetical dominant behavior as the manager will be at least partially explained by the expected relationship impact of managerial dominant behavior.

Attention checks

As attention checks, we preregistered that any nonsensical open-text response will be excluded from analysis. Let’s go through them here and see which ones to exclude.

Reflection on workplace environment

PID	cond	reflection
1	high	I would try and make sure that everyone finishes what they need to by the time that it was due.
2	high	I would expect the highest from them and if they underperform, I would fire them
3	low	In this workplace, I would be a good manager, rewarding hard work and trying to promote great workplace collaboration
4	high	I would try to remain as professional as possible, while keeping a positive attitude but also not steering away from my morals.
5	high	I would do my job to the best of my ability and try to find ways to make the job as easy as possible. I would make sure there was no drama but allow downtime when needed to ensure everyone is happy. I wouldn’t get too personal with my workers but I would talk to them as they were my friend.
6	high	I would focus on who I believe to be the best, and who is always on task.
8	low	Generally my policy as a manager is to learn from my employees what they need. In that sense this fits in perfectly with this culture, I’d simply stay up to date with my employees about what they needed and support them.
9	low	I think I would be very good in this situation. I think this is a great situation to be in, collaboration helps everyone get ahead.
10	low	It seems like a good environment. As a manager, I would work to cultivate and maintain that environment of openness and teamwork.
11	low	I would constantly be encouraging feedback and people to tell me things. I would manage based on what they tell me and what the problems they discover so we can all tackle them together etc.
12	high	I would try to maintain order and prevent people from doing anything that is extremely unfair. However, I would reward people for their performance, and I would be quick to fire anyone who isn’t a top performer. I would reward the top performers with more money.
13	low	I would try to be nice to my coworkers, because we’re all deserving of respect in the workplace.
14	high	i’d stay alert and keep an eye on things, focusing on being fair but knowing i gotta play the game too. i’d try to trust a few people but mostly keep to myself.
15	high	If I was a manager on this site I would try and change the culture, even if it was just for my team. I can’t imagine it’s good for the outcomes, and it probably results in a great deal of turnover when people are stressed or burned out, and training new staff takes a great deal of time and resources.
16	low	I would try to foster a collaborative work environment where everyones needs and ideas are put into account. I would also try to foster kindness, compassion, and hard work.
17	low	I would be very comfortable and supportive towards my supervisee
18	high	I’d probably call that employee in to talk because that’s an insane way to talk about your workplace. I’d call a team meeting as well, letting others voice their concerns to me so we can change the toxic environment.
19	high	I would still try to make the best of it. I would try to promote the ones that deserve it and work the hardest.
20	low	I would not micromanage these employees, as they seem capable of doing their work and able to work harmoniously with each other. Since they seem to have things under control, I’d want to manage collaboratively with them so that I can get a lot of their input on decisions.
21	low	as a manager in this environment, i would focus on fostering a supportive and results driven team by maintaining clear communication. I would lead by example, staying adaptable to company processes
22	high	I would get to the bottom of what people call “the game”, whether it’s what people call brownnosing or whatever is necessary to get a feel for what changes need to make it a successful and less stressful environment for my employees. If it’s coming from the top and I am restricted in what I can do, I’ll simply pursue what I can and advocate for my employees as necessary in office meetings.
23	high	I would be very stressed as a manager in the workplace described. I would do my best to try and calm situations down as it seems like there would be a lot of conflict.
24	low	I would continue to encourage workers to collaborate and help each other. I would also reward people who display collaborative behavior with bonuses
25	low	In the workplace provided, I would continue to support the team the best I can. If a place is already being cooperative, then the best thing to do as a supervisor is lift them up and make sure it falls in the scope of company policy.
26	high	I would feel super stressed out trying to manage people in such a hostile work environment. I wouldn’t be able to handle such an environment.
27	high	I would try to remain as indifferent as possible, and try to stay out of the drama. Rather than perpetually involve myself in office politics I wouldn’t say anything most times and try to simply do my job and return home each day.
28	low	I would be cooperative and try to work with others, and try to avoid being annoying or uncooperative
29	low	I would talk with my employees often and make sure that they were being heard. I would treat everyone with respect and offer my assistance at any time.
30	low	I would make sure employees are content with what they are doing, their is fairness, EVERYONE gets to state their opinion, and listen to all employers.
31	high	I would do my best to alleviate the cut-throat nature of the office by encouraging collaboration between colleagues. I would try to foster teamwork rather than individual gain.
32	low	I would be pretty hands off, issuing assignments and allowing the members of my team to collaborate as they see fit. I would check in periodically, but not bother the team with requests for status over what was absolutely necessary. These are all adults whom we can trust to get the job done.
33	low	I would love to work in such a place, I would be able to rely on my workers and help them out when they needed it as well.
34	low	I would be open to input and collaboration with the employees under my authority. I would be friendly, but a little distant to maintain professionalism
35	low	I would act in a way that is understanding to employees. I have been in the position where I found myself loathing work culture due to the culture of the place I worked, and I don’t want my employees to feel the same way.
36	high	I would do my best to help people. I would try to listen to them and do what I can.
37	low	I would encourage communication and collaboration among my team. I would try to not micro manage and allow the supportive nature of the workplace to provide the structure they need.
38	high	I think this would be very difficult to navigate as a manager, especially if you cant really influence the culture in anyway. I don’t really have managerial experience, so I’m not sure what exactly I would do in this situation. Just attempt to manage my employees the best I can I guess. I would try to make the environment more positive.
39	high	If I were a manager in this work environment, I would most likely resort to trying to maintain every advantage I have, even if it means I have to put myself first. I would most likely not go out of my way to help other people at my level, but I would try to mentor those I’m supervising to contribute to the collective strength of our department.
40	low	I would continue to adopt this method of thinking and encourage it. It seems really healthy the way this member of my team feels. Also, I feel that as a manager, if you take care of your team members, they will continue to do a great job in taking care of your business. You will also retain your team members longer.
41	high	If I were the manager in this environment, I would probably not want to delegate work to anybody in case they try to take over my job. I would watch my back because someone might be trying to find any mistake i make to ruin me.
42	low	I love the workplace vibe, so I would follow it to the best of my ability as I keep this phrase with me: if you respect me, I respect you. I would show the employees that I am someone to rely on and we are better as a team, so we can accomplish more throughout the day.
43	high	I will try and make sure that they work environment was as least stressful at any given moment that they were free and I would give my full support to my staff
44	low	As a manager I would supervise as I was doing before allocating task to workers with no consideration of opinion since the work environment is friendly and they like to work with each other.
45	high	I would try my best to adapt and work with others. I would work hard and do my job.
46	low	I would perform regular check-ins with people to see how their work is progressing, and if they’re staying on target with a deadline. In the event someone is having problems, I would see how I could help out and support the employee by providing them with what they need.
47	high	I would try to at least keep peace between workers since no one can really trust one another. I would likely be strict about rules since the environment appears to be very competitive and cutthroat.
48	low	I would be open and transparent with each of my employees. I would ask them to do the same with me. In this way, we would have open communication and not leave any questions unanswered.
49	low	I feel like we would have a lot of meetings to collaborate on projects and communicate so we could work better as a team.
50	high	If I were a supervisor in that work environment I would likely be a micromanager. I’d make sure all of my employees are doing their very best to adhere to my standards, because if I didn’t my job would likely be on the line and it would definitely make me ineligible for any promotions.
51	low	I would be completely supportive of my team since this workplace is all about teamwork and being supportive. I would continue to push that narrative and be supportive as well. I would also delegate tasks to others to make them feel more involved and part of a team.
52	low	I would continue on the good path that has been set for me, I’d do my best to make sure the workplace stays supportive and team oriented.
53	high	I would require groups to start working in teams. Trying to get them to understand that you’re not working against one another but together. And in doing so learn that this is what the company expects of you and that in the long run you will move further in the company being non-competitive with your peers.
54	low	I would be supportive, show love and be a great impact and leader to my workers, make sure they are at ease whenever they are in the work environment to motivate them to work hard and be dedicated.
55	high	I would ask the employee what they think needs to be done to increase cooperation and team work.
56	low	I would be supportive, and do my best to ensure everyone was being treated well while doing their work. In addition I would make an effort to ensure everyone was getting the help they need to accomplish their work, and goals. I would always want people to come for me if they needed help or had a question. All in all I would do my best to make the environment effective and helpful.
57	low	I would ask the employees for their input. I would trust them to do what they are asked to do.
58	high	If I were a manager in this environment, I would keep as much information as possible close to my chest. Only pieces of the big picture would be given to select employees.
59	high	I feel like working as a manager in this situation would be pretty tensed since people might always be on edge around each other. I would try to keep the mood light and probably have to change the culture here.
60	high	U would try to address this issue by creating more teamwork events or activities to foster a positive environment.
62	high	I would be very mindful of how I treat my coworkers. I would ensure that the workplace is not too cutthroat and make it as comfortable as I can for everyone.
63	low	I would trust my employees to complete their work without much supervision. I would encourage collaboration and open dialogue so everyone works together and is on the same page.
64	high	I owuld keep my self separate from my employees and share nothing personal. We would be goal oriented and there would be littel to no work culture.
65	high	I would try to maintain my own decency while making it clear that in this workplace results are all that matter and I have to answer to my own managers
66	low	I would try and be as supportive as possible to the staff. I would try to be the best manager.
67	low	I would support my staff in their efforts, and push them to help each other grow even more. It sounds like overall, the staff are on the right track.
68	high	In this case, I feel that I would need to micro-manage employees in this type of setting. When it comes to the environment being cut-throat and dog-eat-dog, I would need to have an extremely stern and strict method of managing in order to maintain order of the workplace.
69	high	I would try to communicate effectively and give everyone the opportunity to succeed. I would encourage kindness
70	low	I would as a manager be honest with my team if things needed to done or changed.
71	low	I would try to maintain a positive attitude. I would commend teamwork and always be encouraging and supportive.
72	high	If I were a manager here, I’d have to watch my employees like a hawk. They may be more focused on trying to one-up each other than actually getting their work done.
73	low	I would give the workers the benefit of the doubt. To have true cooperation, we would have to trust each other. I wouldn’t overly question them and I would allow them a lot of freedom.
74	high	I would always be on guard and choose my words carefully. I would tell people what they want to hear and try to get the important people on my side.
75	high	As a manager I would be very guarded. I would try to ensure my position as manager is secure and that no one else is gunning for it.
76	low	In this work environment I think it would be a great place to manage. Everyone works together.
77	high	Even though the workplace is competitive, I would still encourage everyone to be friendly to each other. I would give them or suggest tasks that require teamwork / ones where if one person fails, then everyone fails. I would also try to organize events outside of work where everyone can get to know each other outside of their professional lives so that the tension between workers is decreased. At the end of the day, while the workplace may still be cutthroat, I still want people to have good relationships with each other.
78	high	I would probably be walking on eggshells as a manager because it sounds like a high stress environment, especially for the low men and women on the totem pole. I would try to be nice and friendly and bring as much positivity as I could to the workplace.
79	low	If I were a manager in this scenario, I would do my best to be kind and supportive of all of my employees. Fostering an environment of care and cooperation would be my top priority, and I would want to ensure that every employee has the tools that they need for success.
80	high	I would try to be aware of the overall culture in this workplace and even if I couldn’t change it, I would try to be fair in my dealing with others. Ultimately I can only be responsible for myself and my own actions. Because of this, and because I want to set a good example, I would only try to undermine malicious intents of others.
81	high	As a manager, i will loike to lead by example by assisting the staff on how to complete task and also be willing to help them navigate any challenge they might have. Like the saying says, there is no I in Team. Team work makes the dream work
82	high	As a manager I would have to be ruthless and not afraid of anything. I would have to act against my best interest to continue my success at the company.
83	high	In this type of workplace, I would have to ignore what goes on and continue managing.
84	low	I would love working in this type of environment. It is so disheartening when employees don’t support each other. A business can really thrive from this type of environment.
85	high	This is difficult. If I could not impact change in this environment, as a manager, I would challenge my individual employees with goal oriented incentives. I would not micromanage. I would get to know my employees so that I could be someone they could trust.
86	low	I would be proud of my team and their ability to work together. I would continue to encourage their team mentality.
87	low	If I was a manager at this workplace I would try to make sure everyone got along as well as me getting along with the worker to make the work we do go as smooth as possible. Having trust would make any issues that happen easier to solve.
88	high	This would be very difficult to work in. But id have to try to stay on top and push everyone to do high performances and find out which workers I can rely on
89	low	I would prioritize effective communication and actively listen to my team’s concerns to foster a supportive atmosphere
90	low	I would listen to my employees inquiries and requests. I would treat them fairly and kind. I would remember that they are human and that humans make mistakes sometimes. I would try to make them feel comfortable with coming to me with issues that arise without fear.
91	high	I would be encouraging and try to raise the morale of the team. Since the people are so competitive, it might be good to offer bigger bonuses to the best performing employee.
92	low	If I was a manager in this work situation, I would try to uphold the current culture, since it seems to be positive. I would spend extra time collaborating with others on my team since it is such a cooperative workplace.
93	high	As a manager, I would have frequent team “bonding” exercises to help my employees get to know each other better and lessen any hostility between them.
94	low	I would be open minding and willing to listen to all of my employees. I want my employees to feel like we are a team and can rely on each other to reach our mission objective.
95	high	If this was the kind of place I worked at, I think I would be on edge a lot of the times. This place sounds extremely tense and nerve wracking. I can see myself letting it get to me one or two times and lashing out.
96	high	I would first sit everyone in the company or on the team down to have a big chat. You will then have to earn your way to get promoted, you shouldn’t have to play “the game” in order to do good.
97	high	If i were to work in this environment I feel that I would have to pay close attention to who is doing the best job. Since it is so competitive, I would have to make sure that those who succeed are recognized.
98	low	I would enjoy managing this workplace. People seem to help each other, are hardworking, and know their jobs well. Managing people who take their work and place of work seriously would be a great place to work.
99	low	I imagine an office full of cubicles where it’s easy to collaborate with other colleagues.
100	high	I would make sure that the field is fair. I would make sure that no one is undermining each other, or for lack of a better term screwing anyone over.
101	high	As long as no one is breaking any of the company policies it can continue as is. It is hard to say exactly without knowing what the job is but it seems like this is the normal for this workplace.
102	low	I would feel proud and happy to work in this workplace as a supervisor. I would be happy to work with my team and help everyone to thrive and be successful at their job.
103	low	If I were a manager in this given scenario, I would do my best to match the positive environment and also be a team-player. I would try to be as supportive as possible, be efficient in my work, and try my best to uphold the positive work space that has been cultivated by the other workers. I would also do my best to not be obnoxious as a manager.
104	high	I would treat others with kindness and respect and be as likable as possible. I also think that keeping my nose down and work as much as possible while ignoring high school drama would be beneficial.
105	high	If I were the manager, I’d feel like I couldn’t trust anyone I worked with to do their job or be honest with me in any kind of way. I would probably try and find a better work environment, not something as nasty and cutthroat ans having my coworkers be like that.
106	high	I would be miserable as a manager in a horrible work environment like that. I think what I would do since I couldn’t change it is just be as kind to everyone as I could be and try on my end to be as fair as possible to everyone so they at least had some moments of happiness in their miserable rest of their days
107	high	I would stand strong against negative and underhanded intent with the employees. I would remain open and willing to listen to all input.
108	high	I would try to make sure that everyone was doing that they need to but also that they are acting good to each other.
109	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would try to make my employees feel like they could trust me. Trust is the foundation for a happy and productive workplace. I would reward loyalty and kindness over manipulation. I would try to take an objective view in conflicts and not let my personal feelings get in the way.
110	high	If, as a manager, I could not change this environment, I would try to find a way to make it as healthy as possible. If it’s not possible to have employees trust each other and work together, I would encourage individuality and try to promote healthy competition.
111	low	I would be understanding if people showed up a little late, or needed to leave early. i would ask what i could do to help on certain projects or tasks that seemed overwhelming. i would lead by example.
112	low	Yeah, I mean, I think that it would be a good environment to work in and it will be easy to motivate my team
113	low	I would be super supportive of my team and make sure they had what they needed. Since my leaders trust me to make decisions and manage my team effectively, I in turn would trust my team to execute their work and want to mostly be a support for them to do their jobs, for career development, and for whatever else they need.
114	high	I actually have personal experience with this feeling having a fortune 500 background. Something you learn in cut throat style corporates is in a very intrinsic way, an employee is their own boss and own brand, meaning the common welfare of a work place is only really regulated by the perspective of a company and any state laws they may or may not violate. In other words, you have to adapt to harsh environments knowing that a single individual cannot change it alone.
115	high	This sounds like a tough situation. I think I would do my best to try to help everyone else get along, and mediate between conflicts.
116	high	I would keep my head on a swivel for the sake of my own employment. I would judge my subordinates fairly evaluating the quality of their work. I would try to nuture collaboration.
117	low	If I was a manager in that set up. I would be helping my employees and just trying to set up everyone for success. The people that hired management would be wanting the kind of people that would do that.
118	high	I would strive to make things more collaborative. I feel this sets up companies for failure.
119	low	I would encourage team work and collaboration. I would let all the employees know that they can come to me at any time, if they’re having problems with anything to do with work.
120	high	I want everyone to do their best and compete with each other so that way it makes people work harder when they compete with each other. I would allow workers to take advantage of others after all it’s a dog eat dog world. The strong survive.
121	high	If I was in this situation, I would want my employees to know I am there for them. Additionally, I would expect them to work hard.
122	high	In this environment I would act ambiguous and also make decision with an avenue that allows me an ability to maneuver in a different direction based upon the ebbs and flows of the day.
123	low	I would try and organize more group meetings in order to inspire collaboration. Would also try and pair people to work on projects together. Since it seems people work best together.
124	low	I would focus on continuing to foster a calm and open environment for employees.
125	high	I would do my best to keep my employees calm and stress free as possible. I would let them all know I have their back and will help them with their goals and their needs.
126	low	I would encourage others to cooperate with each other because this is what our workplace thrives on and is built upon.
127	low	i would feel olike it’s pretty draining. i would not want to do this full time. it would feel like it’s hard to tell other people to do things.
128	low	That sounds like a very nice environment to work on, let alone manage. I would be happy and content, and try to maintain such a workplace environment.
129	low	As a manager I would give my employees a lot of autonomy and creativity in how they choose to get their jobs done. Since it is already a culture where trust is established and it is collaborative, as a supervisor that means I can give my team a directive and allow them to approach it in the most efficient way they see fit unless there is a specific procedure.
130	high	This environment seems like it would be very high stress. It seems like no one would trust each other and everything would be a competition. I think it would be vital to stay positive and make sure to keep myself as the manager light and approachable while also maintaining order.
131	high	I would think that if I had chosen to accept a management position in a company with sort of culture I would know and accept that I as a manager would be competing with other managers just as those we manage have to compete. Success in such a culture requires shelving any sense of fairness or empathy in favor of beating the metrics achieved by my competitors. I would act exactly like everyone else if keeping my job was my overriding consideration.
132	low	I would always be supportive of my employees and make sure they have everything they need. I would be open to conversations about their work issues and help them solve them.
133	low	I would help those I’m supervising so we can continue a supportive and collaborative workplace
134	high	As a manager in this cutthroat environment, I’d prioritize communication and transparency while fostering a competitive spirit, encouraging my team to excel while strategically protecting their interests.
135	high	I would try to get them to collaborate with one another so they can foster a better and more trusting environment. The collabs could be set tasks that have rewards so they can improve their relations
137	high	I would try to be a supportive manager, one who is understanding of the situation my employees are in.
138	high	I would probably have a high level of confidence in myself. I would treat my employees with a short temper while maintaining high expectations regarding their performance. I imagine that there are many employees at this job, so the overall feeling seems impersonal, which would reflect my attitude as well.
139	low	I would be very supportive of all my subordinates. I will provide guidance to new employees and support their transition into the work environment
140	low	I would try to upkeep the culture of being able to trust one another; I think that’s super important in any workplace. I would be slow to confront and quick to communicate calmy and effectively with my employees.
141	low	It seems like a great place to work. The employees seem to get along with eachother and managers.
142	low	I would feel very excited and competent since everyone gets along. It would be as pleasure to come in everyday.
143	high	If I were a manager, I would make sure everyone understood their tasks and what they have to do. I would also engage with employees and make sure they are okay and not in need of help.
144	low	I would encourage open and honest communication, since teamwork is a priority and hopefully continue to foster the trust and team atmosphere.
145	high	As a manager I would have to keep a careful eye on workers to ensure that they’re following the code of ethics as well as preventing them from sabotaging me.
146	low	I would simply make sure all my employees are diligently doing their jobs. This seems fairly normal work scenario
147	low	As a manager, I would collaborate with the other employees to work together as a team to achieve our workplace goals. I would try to foster an environment that is supportive.
148	low	I would be happy knowing that my staff is able to feel comfortable at work. As long as work is being completed on time, and goals keep being met/exceeded I believe there is no additional supervising that would be beneficial.
149	high	As a manager, I am going to work full of dread at all the fires I have around me day to day. I would probably have to be hands off to deal with all this. I would just let the co-workers sort things out amongst themselves while making sure the work gets done.
150	low	I would act supportive of my staff or team. I would create an environment of teamwork and a safe place to ask for help with any tasks.
151	high	i would tell people that they are correct and need to lookout for themselves if they want to get ahead. i would encourage them to be cutthroat so they can be the best.
152	high	I would do my job and make sure everyone is working. My answer is literally the only possible answer; this question is not based on opinion or experience. The job of the manager is to manage the business, make sure it runs, and make sure the employees are doing their jobs.
153	high	As a manager in this workplace, I would encourage everyone to be courteous of each other, despite how they may feel about that person. I welcome group tasks and enjoy seeing employees grow strong bonds with each other.
154	high	As a manager in a workplace where employees have to compete to succeed, I’d focus on keeping things fair and motivating. I’d set clear expectations, recognize hard work, and make sure competition pushes people to do their best without creating a toxic environment.
155	low	I would continue the status quo unless concerns were raised. I would conduct check-ins occasionally to see what could be improved or if anything needed to be changed.
156	high	I would be as caring as a manager could, I would do nothing that would harm my employees. I also would make sure that I am the kind of manager that can be trusted with any kind of information.
157	high	I would not trust others in the workplace and look out for my own self interest.
158	low	I would definitely love to supervise workers like this. Being supportive and collaborative is a good start to a successful operation.
159	high	I would let each of my employees know that they are all on the same level. To create an environment of distrust and greed is to create a workplace that isn’t worthy of coming to, and that isn’t fair to anyone involved.
160	high	As a manager in this workplace I would observe all employees. Paying attention to their actions, attitudes, teamwork, and how they react when put under pressure.
161	low	With a high level of cooperation and collaboration I imagine there wouldn’t be a whole lot for a manager to do with a group like that– mostly to ensure that everyone is on track and meeting their headlines, and to communicate their needs to the upper levels if necessary.
162	low	If i were a manager, I would try to be as transparent and communicate a lot with my team. Open dialogue and collaboration are keys to having good teamwork.
163	low	I woul try to treat emplyees with respect and help them in any way possible. I would try to hire people that work for the betterment of the team.
164	low	I think this environment would work smoothly I would have a corw group of people to work with and get things handled efficiently
165	high	I would quit. I am not competing with other people so I can pay my bills.
166	high	I would look for the weakest employee and fire them as soon as possible. I would then control the rest of the workers with the fear that they might be next.
167	high	Try to team build and foster a better working environment, find ways to encourage unity
168	low	I would be make sure that all of the people I supervised felt comfortable with giving me feedback and even constructive criticism. I would put a lot of effort into fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce.
169	low	As a manager, I would embrace the culture and stay observant.
170	high	If it’s not something I could change, I would try to foster more team building to shift mind-sets. Perhaps some outside activities or a pizza Friday, something to make employees feel they are part of a team in the end, and while it is individual efforts that drive the business, we are all part of the same team.
171	low	I think if I was a manager in this workplace I would be able to feel comfortable and not be a manager who watches employees every move. It sounds like it is an environment of mutual respect where employees do their duties and management is supportive not over bearing.
172	low	I will strive to foster open dialogue among my workers and the rest of the team. My goal would be to maintain a culture and environment that is as welcoming as my team needs.
173	low	Since the employees already feel supported, I would do everything in my power to maintain that atmosphere. Making myself available to them, but also letting them do their jobs without micromanaging.
174	low	I as a manager will definitely have the smoothest time supervising them since they work as a team and very supportive of each other and the fact that they trust each other that really makes me very energetic and have much will to work with a team like this because i know the output at work will be amazing and it will boost the organization
175	high	If I was a manager, I would tell people to only focus on their work, to not help or care about others and be very competitive, trying to be the best in the workplace.
176	low	It seems like there are no problems between co-workers so I wouldn’t have to deal with that. I would check in on them as a group and individually on their progress with their work every day or multiple times a day if needed.
177	low	As a manager in a supportive environment, I would empower my workers to take initiative in their own work. They should not feel micromanaged and have the autonomy to complete work by themselves, while receiving constructive feedback when necessary.
178	low	As a manager, I work to support workers as much as possible. We are a cooperative and cohesive group.
179	low	As manager I would listen with respect to all concerns others would have and be nonjudgmental
180	high	I think I would force teammates to work in groups to try and combat the atmosphere of cut throat and make them all accountable for each other. I think I would also try to stay very neutral on the team.
181	low	I would make sure that everyone’s voices are heard. I would let everyone have the chance to advance
182	low	As a manager in this environment, I would focus on maintaining a calm and neutral approach, trying to avoid drawing attention to mistakes and instead directing focus on finding solutions. I would also subtly encourage open communication by asking questions that prompt reflection, though I’d be cautious about pushing too hard in an atmosphere where speaking up could lead to negative consequences.
183	high	I would try positive reinforcement. I’m not sure on the exact positive reinforcement beings I don’t know the specific job but I would I also reinforce that everyone must be respectful.
184	high	I would encourage employees to rely on one another instead of competing with each other. Collaborative team environments are more productive and enjoyable to be in than competitive ones.
185	low	Should I be in a cooperating atmosphere managing employees, I would be proud and ensure those employees, that my door would always be open to any concerns they may have.
186	high	I would be a very strict manager. I would have high standards and be willing to fire people easily in order to keep up with the fast pace environment.
187	high	If I were in this situation, I would do as much as I could possibly do to help employees working in this cut throat situation. I wouldn’t be able to do much, but I would do what I could to make the environment less stressful.
188	low	I would continue to help support this worker in every way that I can in keeping with the team culture of this workplace.
189	low	I would do my best to be understanding of my workers and try to be a positive leader.
190	low	In this workplace, I think I would be a very involved and supportive manager. I would encourage my team to work together to build each other up and assist each other with achieving their goals.
191	low	I would feel grateful for having a work team that gets along and appreciates each other. I would act fairly and treat my team with respect.
192	low	I would feel good to be in such an environment. It was described as supportive and cooperative which is what I prefer.
193	low	I would take into account every enployeew concerns before making any big decision. They are the backbone of any company, not the boss
194	low	i would confront the problem and try to resolve it in a even manner. i would try to make everyone happy with their workplace and coworkers.
195	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would attempt to prevent workers from trying to advance their own careers at coworkers’ expense. I feel that for the workers to be productive they need to focus on the work itself and not focus on perceived competition from other employees.
196	high	If I were a manager navigating workers within this environment, I would bring the team together on a weekly (maybe a few times a week to start) and talk through what they would like to see change. Although I wouldn’t be able to make the changes myself, open discussion may help other see that they aren’t the only ones that feel like they are in such a competitive, cut-throat environment and could help change their behaviors as a team.
197	high	I would reinforce everybody’s positions at the company and make sure to try to get a cohesive team that don’t work against each other but for each other.
198	low	i would focus on fostering communication and providing clear expectations to ensure that all workers feel supported and guided in their roles
199	low	I would be interested in upholding a collaborative environment in which all employees can be heard. I would make sure that teamwork was put and utilize in-person meetings and collaborative software such as Microsoft Teams.
200	low	as a manager in this supportive environment, i would actively encourage collaboration by recognizing and praising efforts, as well as providing opportunities for open communication to build trust. I’d lead by example, fostering transparency, sharing credit for victories, and making sure everyone feels valued for their contributions to our collective success.
201	low	I think I would thrive in this situation. I would make an effort to get to know everybody.
202	low	If I were a manager in this situation, I would be collaborative, just as my teams members are. I would lead by example, but not micromanage. I would trust my team members to do their jobs well, and to treat other team members with respect. I feel that if I managed this team, I would feel confidence in their operations without me present.
203	low	I would enjoy working as a manager for a company like this. My team would feel like friends or family, compared to just coworkers. I would enjoy helping out my team whenever neededn
204	high	I would try to be a friend to everyone even though it’s a very cut throat situation.
205	low	I would do my best to support my colleagues in this environment. I’d feel comfortable and motivated to maximize my work performance.
206	low	I would love to be a manager of this team. It appears as though the team overall is always willing to help out wherever is needed and really works as a team. I would be more of a hands off manager and let them continue to complete their work.
207	high	Even if there’s nothing I could do about the situation, I think I would still try to keep everyone motivated and on task. It certainly is stressful but if everyone does their work I think it would be at least a little helpful.
208	high	Since it’s such a cut throat kind of job I guess I would try to make sure people don’t play too dirty. People should try to be some kind of moral when trying to get ahead.
209	high	If I was a manager in this workplace, I would feel as though I had to be very cautious about the behaviors others engaged in. Due to the competitive environment, I would be constantly on guard and making sure that the employees were not engaging in any harmful behaviors.
210	high	I would try to just go with the flow and not cause any grief for any of my subordinates. It’s a shitty workplace, so why make it worse?
211	low	Well, in real life I’ve been a manager before and really hated it, but I think I may actually enjoy it if I were a manager at this workplace. It’d be nice to actually act supportive and help people out.
212	high	If I had to work in a situation like that as a manager, I would not want to take advantage of others and would not want to see anyone else doing that in the workplace. I would probably speak to my employees and make them understand that maybe the work is cutthroat and competitive, but that in no way means you throw coworkers under the bus to get yourself ahead as that is just morally wrong and unjustifiable. Instead I would teach them how to work together to help eachother get ahead.
213	low	I would treat my employees fairly and would make sure I am helping them be more effective workers. I would try to be helpful and collaborative for the team.
214	high	i would try and change the atmosphere and make it a better work environment for everyone
215	low	This would be an ideal environment. The employees are cooperative, and they help each other out. It would encourage and praise the teamwork and comradery.
216	high	I would find it difficult but I would do my best to try and decipher who is truly putting in the best overall work versus who is simply trying to take credit - and throw others under the bus.
217	low	As a manager, I would feel productive and able to handle multiple scenarios and conflict. I would be confident in all areas of work.
218	low	I would be a collaborative manager who works well with their team and take feedback they have. I would be warm and inviting to talk with and enjoy the company of my coworkers
219	high	As a manager it is your job and responsibility to navigate any culture or environment, so I would adapt and adjust to get the job done.
220	low	I would encourage the current workplace culture to the best of my abilities. I would be proud to run a workplace that emphasizes team work and cooperation. I would hold morale boosting events and give opportunities for smaller teams to work together on projects rather than individual work loads. I would also willingly listen to observations and thoughts from my staff as a way to instill this sense of belonging.
221	low	I would act as hands-off as possible with my workers in this environment. They seem to do well when they collaborate and communicate openly, and too much oversight might stifle this.
222	low	if i were managing in this enviroment i would focus on maintaining clear comunication providing consistent support to my team and leading by example to foster resilience and adaptability within the constraints of the existing culture i’d priritize listening to my team’s concerns and finding small practical ways to improve morale and productivity even if broader changes weren’t possible
223	high	I would use this knowledge to get the best work out of everyone. Most likely, I would regularly bring up achievements of team members when they occur to bring the competitiveness out of my team.
224	high	I would try to keep it as civil as possible. Since I couldn’t change the culture.
225	high	I would try to change the climate this worker described. It’s toxic. I would ask if others agree, if if they were “playing the game” to get ahead at each other’s expense. Then I would gradually try to make success about the company, not the individuals.
226	high	I will make sure to carry out my assignment like every other person that same day and admonish them to do better
227	high	As a manager in a “cutthroat environment,” I would take a step back to try to understand why things are the way they are. If at all possible, I would want to make things easier for the entire team, where someone doesn’t have to take advantage of someone else just to get by. This is easier said than done.
228	high	As some who natural prefers to avoid conflict I would try to do my best to carry out the duties of my job without feeding into the negative atmosphere. I don’t actually know how long I could last in a role like that.
229	low	I would be always accessible, approachable and open, helpful, ready to assist, care about my subordinates, ideas, issues and/or concerns.
230	high	I hope I can change the atmosphere of this workplace altogether. It sounds very stressful, and I’m not sure how anyone would actually enjoy working there.
231	low	I would check in on the welfare of my employees and build a family like atmosphere. I would focus on caring about my employees individually while also managing the business.
232	low	I would be happy to work in a place like this where my co- workers feel like this and they feel supported and can trust other workers. Its important to work and feel support and be able to trust others when you need help or if they need help they can ask and depend on you. As a manager i would feel like im doing a great job since others are feeling good and feel like they can trust others here.
233	high	I would try to create a more cooperative atmosphere.
234	high	I would try to keep things as professional, organized, and fair as possible. Environments like this very easily get out of hand with gossip. I would not interact with anyone in a gossipy manner. Any issues I would try to address with evidence, learn communication, and documentation. I would try to keep things organized so the actual work when as smoothly as possible. lastly I would try to keep things very very fair between employees in their duties. Also be extremely clear on expectations and duties to try to avoid additional stress or conflict.
235	low	I’d be sure to incentivize and reward this culture. I’d be happy to work there. I wouldn’t hover a lot, since I’d have faith that they’d work properly.
236	low	I would act very supportive and understanding of people situations. I would find ways I could help out and be encouraging during projects and anything my subordinates needed.
237	low	I would collaborate with the employees and let them know if a task needs to be completed, remind them of deadlines, and encourage them to keep up the good work.
238	high	If I wasn’t able to trust anyone, and had to do anything to get ahead, I would probably take credit for the work of ppl below me, try to figure out who could help me. Not a trust relationship, more of a mutually benefitial alliance.
239	high	I would use this opportunity to bring out the best of those who are below me. In turn, with their success, that would be my project success. And in a cut throat business, I am in close competition with my fellow managers, and I need my team to succeed in order to succeed myself.
240	low	As a manager I would make sure to speak with all my employees daily. I would be supportive and make sure each team member is helped with any issues they may have.
241	low	I would be happy to work in a place that works as a team and helps each other out rather than having to go up to management. I like teamwork
242	low	This sounds like a very positive environment, so as a manager, I would want to ensure it continued to be one. I would continue to encourage collaborative teamwork, promote ideas around employee support and appreciation, and minimize any opportunities for discord and gossip.
243	high	If I were a manager, I would act equally as cut-throat. I would be harsh and critical, but I would still try to keep it respectful. I would want my employees to thrive the way that I did to make it to the top. I think my harshness would be good for my employees.
244	high	As a manager at this workplace, I would do my best to discourage the competitive nature of my employees. I would try to encourage them to support and help each other whenever possible. I don’t think I would enjoy working for this business.
245	low	I would ensure that people are working together to come to solutions on tasks and seeking each others help before coming to me. That said, I’d also make sure no one is being a free rider & everyone is contributing
246	low	I would help out as well because you are in charge of your team. I would be very proud to be a manger of these workers.
247	low	I would not micromanage but rather make sure my employees know I’m there when they need me. I would hold team meetings every few weeks so everyone could check in with one another.
248	high	I would completely overrule this environment where employees felt it necessary to take advantage of others and foster a cooperative environment where employees are incentivized to work together and where success of one employee does not rely on the failure of another.
249	high	I would be an understanding manager. I would try to be fair to every employee
250	low	In an environment, where the workers are supportive of each other is pretty easy. As a supervisor in this situation, I would let the workers work for themselves as they are hardworking and supportive of each others work.
251	high	If this is the prevailing culture, I would feel pretty frustrated. Since I cannot change things I would do my best to avoid adding fuel to the fire. That might be all I could do.
252	high	I would pay attention to the people who are operating in malice and trying to stomp on others to get to the top. I would try to reward those who are honest and put in hard work without compromising their moral character.
253	low	In this situation, being the manager seems to be an easy position to be in considering the work environment they’ve cultivated. with workers working together and for one another leads to more and better productivity from your staff
254	low	This seems to be a good model for workplace. People working together and helping each other. As a manager, I would be relieved at the attitude of the workers.
255	high	In a manager, I would try to act in a kind and fair way to everybody. I know workplace environments can be toxic or annoying, so I would try to make the experience as smooth as I possibly can for everyone. I would want my manager to do the same for me.
256	high	I feel that being a supervisor in this kind of environment is super stressful. Being a supervisor, you should want your employees to do better and being very strict with each other and competitive is not the way to do that. I would feel like I am drowning because, how do you supervise this workplace? I wouldn”t know what to do.
257	high	I’d be very stressed, that’s for sure. It’d be a stressful environment to work in. I’d feel very distrustful of my employees, knowing that they’re all out to get each other and one-up each other, so I wouldn’t feel like I could fully trust any of them.
258	high	I would lead my team in a manner that highlights the positive aspects of being competitive. I would do my best to keep the negative aspects of this environment at a minimum by training and leading by example.
259	high	i would make sure it doesn’t get too competitive and try to maintain somewhat friendly environment
260	low	In this environment the team that I manage are respectable, honest and hard working.
261	high	I would be very careful about what the people are talking about the other. There might be manipulations and lies about the other people, in order to influence my opinion.
262	low	I think this would be a workplace a lot less stressful to work at. I love that there is a lot of teamwork involved.
263	high	I wouldn’t be able to trust what anybody said or did. I wouldn’t know if someone really did something, or not. It would be hard to work in this environment, but I would just try to read people to gauge how honest they are being and whether they are doing their jobs.
264	high	While this workplace has a “cutthroat” atmosphere, as someone with some authority, I would not do that with my workers. Instead, I will try to make it a pleasant, collaborative atmosphere where they can trust each other within my team.
265	low	I would talk less and walk around with a stern face. I find it is better to be feared than loved.
266	high	I would likely try my best to make sure things are somewhat fair between coworkers while not interfering too much.
267	low	I would manage pretty loosely, only directly involving myself if something needs my attention.
268	high	I would restructure the workspace to incentivize collaborative teamwork over individual contribution.
269	low	I would make a concerted effort to be supportive and make myself available to my subordinates. I would do my best to give constructive feedback and delegate tasks in a way that makes sense.
270	low	I think I would like it as I believe most people would get along professionally and there would be a belief that everyone helps and supports each other
271	low	I would motivate the ones I was supervising. It seems from what I read that the employee is very happy in the work environment. I would try to continue in that atmosphere. I would lead those I was supervising by example. With patience and kindness
272	low	I would make sure everyone has what they need to get the job done. I also would check to make sure they get breaks and are healthy.
273	high	If I were managing this workplace I would find a way to make an enjoyable position for everyone so this type of behavior did not exist. I would figure out a way to give each employee an equal task with equal pay. There should not be any need for such cut throat behavior if everyone had equal tasks and equal pay.
274	high	I would try to consider my team as part of myself so that when I am acting in the necessary ways to get ahead, I am operating with my team in my corner as opposed to having my team be who I am competing against.
275	low	As a manager in a collaborative and honest office environment, I’d model that daily in my own behavior and give subordinates a lot of leeway to contribute based on their own expressions of company culture.
276	low	I thought this workplace sounded very positive in general. If I was the manager I would support the collaborative nature that is evident. In my one on one meetings with my staff, I would also encourage them to perform their best and while helping others always helps the team, they should also try to distinguish themselves with strong performance.
277	low	I would be supportive and understanding of all of the employees. I would have all of us work as a team to accomplish our daily goals.
278	low	I would be trusting of my sub-ordinates/colleages to get their tasks done efficiently, morally, and ethically. I would be open to provide them opportunities for growth.
279	high	If I were a manager in such a situation I would work with my boss and my peers to come up with a plan to change the culture. I may not be about to do it myself, but if I can make the case that the business would perform better with a different culture, it could be changed from the top down.
280	high	I would create projects for everyone to get involve in and see who is the best. I would use this data to see who can do what the best and rely on them for certain task. I would drive competition to motivate people to work hard.
281	high	I would be pretty lenient about most things. Considering I also have to abide by these rules.
282	high	I’d provide clear guidance, set realistic expectations, and support my team to keep things efficient and collaborative
283	high	I will try to keep the moral up in the workplace. I would encourage and promote team work. I will promote employees who work well others and likable among peers. Hopefully this will convince others to do what is right to get ahead.
284	high	I would look away from the underhandedness as long as the department was performing optimally. I’d have to leave my principles at home and just be happy about success.
285	low	I would be a mentor when needed, a coordinator when necessary and most importantly would give a lot freedom and space for maneuvers to my direct reports
286	low	I would continue to be supportive and collaborative with my employees. I would want to continue to foster this cooperative workplace environment.
287	low	I would try to encourage collaboration between workers. This would also include seemingly non work items to try to encourage a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
288	high	I would try to find a way to minimize the cut throat atmosphere. Those types of personalites are bad.
289	high	I would try to be able to listen to anyone that has something to say. look for resolutions, if possible to maybe keep the hostility and competition down.
290	high	I would do my best to instill a positive environment that encourages my employees to put their best foot forward.
291	low	I would feel happy to have employees working together for the same goals. Having people who seem happy and understand to importance of teamwork is a real treasure for a manager.
292	high	I would be very stressed out. I would have to be tough towards these employees
293	low	This is would be a decent work environment. I WFH so no big deal.
294	low	As a manager, I would support collaboration on the team and encourage employees to work together on projects. I would emphasize that we are a team all working towards the same goal, it is not man-to-man defense. If one team member is having a hard time with the work, we step in and do what we can to support that team member, not just leave them to fend for themself.
295	high	I would act humbly and be careful about decisions. I would also be very punctuali
296	low	Day to day I would have group meeting with all employees to check up on everyone’s progress and make sure everyone is staying in task. We would also make sure everyone feels like they are treated fairly and collaborate equally.
297	high	I’d probably employ more team projects and general oversight as a method of controlling while also insulating myself from any future repercussions. i would be extra careful about anyone vying for my position and make sure I don’t give them an opportunity to jeopardize my career.
298	high	I’d take advantage of the situation by generating more competitions among my underlings, in the hope to drive more performance out of them.
299	low	I would make sure that everything was was done correctly and one time. It sounds like it would be easy to manage.
300	high	I would quit my job. I don’t want to deal with that.
301	high	I would try to protect the people in my team from the cut throat attitude that seems to be present in the rest of the company. I would make it known to my group that they can perform well without backstabbing. It may be difficult to change the prospective of the people working on my team, but it has to start somewhere.
302	low	As a manager, I would take advantage of the positive climate to forge and strengthen the connections between the employees. These connections, when monitored, should lead to reliance and accountability.
303	low	I would be supportive to my team and make sure they know they can be open and honest with me about anything.
304	low	I’d want to foster this environment of cooperation because it seems both good for the company and good for individual employee morale.
305	low	i would auctually love it it seems like a reealy nice and condusive work environment if you ask me
306	high	If i was the manager, I would sit down and reflect on how the current way of handling things is not appropriate and reevaluate on how to do things more positive.
308	low	I would not try to change anything. If the culture is such that people are helping each other, and teamwork is prevalent, it’s already working the way it should.
309	high	I would work on bringing down the team’s unhealthy competitive state. Instead, I will give them projects that involve them working together.
310	high	I would honestly be really stressed out in an environment like this, and somewhat afraid/fearful. I would be a lot more stern than I would typically be, and would be less lenient on employees- I would micromanage more of their work and give them less freedom to work the way they want.
311	high	I would hold short meetings twice a week to ensure that everyone lends each other a helping hand instead of competing with one another.
312	low	Everyone seems to get along well, so being a manager for this workplace sounds like it would be fulfilling
313	high	I would try to keep emotions regulated and make sure people are not hurting or abusing their co-workers or clients. I would try to keep moral up and descalate and problematic situations by keeping people on work related tasks.
314	low	As a manager I would continue to foster collaboration and teamwork. I would also look for ways to continue to support one another and strengthen bonds. I would let my employees know they have my full support and that they can reach out to me for anything.
315	high	Working in such a toxic environment would make it very difficult to function effectively, so even though I might not be able to make a larger difference, I would try. I would work closely with my employees and learn more about them. I would also foster an open door policy where they would hopefully feel comfortable talking about any workplace issues.
316	high	it would be fun in the sense that I’m competing and trying to play games
317	low	I would be very happy as a manager, since my employees would be mostly responsible for one another and there would likely not be too many interpersonal issues brought to me. I would hope to maintain this culture of cooperation by designating time for group planning and feedback as well as genuine team bonding opportunities.
318	low	I would encourage people to work together and have positive attitudes. I would encourage one another to help when needed and be very communitive with group.
319	high	I would focus on letting each worker know they need to focus on their own goals and to maintain that consistency daily. Also, I would advise them not to take things at work personally and advise them I am always available to talk to or vent to about issues that may arise.
320	low	I will give advice to my my workers. I will be free and jovial with them so they can be free to ask me any questions
321	low	If I were a manager in this situation supervising others I would definitely make sure o prioritize team work, because the previous user is correct; that is how success is found.
322	low	I would continue to foster the culture of teamwork and supporting each other. I believe that the organization is stronger when people work together to achieve a common goal.
323	high	I would be an understanding supportive manager focused on trying to improve morale. It would be important in a toxic environment to focus on creating a counter-culture.
324	low	I would have a very collaborative approach with my team members. I would ask opinions of experts before making any decisions because they are the experts.
325	high	In this situation, I would act as I normally would act. I treat people with respect and consideration, and I do not like to get involved in workplace politics.
326	low	As a manager in this team, I would like to be able to encourage collaboration and willingness to help each other out. It would be important to me to prevent situations where trust is compromised and isolates individuals.
327	high	To deal with the situation, you need to be open as a manager. Overcommunicate to try and regain trust. Also ensure credit goes where its deserved and opportunities need to be equal.
328	low	As a manager, I would coordinate meetings between various members of the team and try to grow and maintain the relationships in this space. Collaboration leads to success here, and the environment feels very positive, so it might be easy to foster a utopian-like workplace.
329	low	I APPRECIATE YOUR CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES WHEN IT COMES TO OPENING THE ILNES OF COMMUNICATION ACROSS OUR TEAM. I APPERCIATE THAT YOU ACTIVELY LISTEN IN OUR MEETINGS TO ENSURE WE ARE COMMUNICATING WELL.
330	high	I would try to foster a supportive environment and offer services for improving mental health.
331	low	Being a manager in a supportive, collaborative environment would be like a gift. It would be less stressful and more personally uplifting.
332	low	I’d be supportive and mindful of everyone’s needs, and I’d be willing to assist anyone in my team. I’d feel responsible for the success of every employee I’m supervising.
333	low	I would offer open-door office hours to my staff for their questions and issues. I would also treat them some desserts once a week.
334	low	As a manger in this type of situation I would put a lot of trust in my employees. It sounds like it is a team with trustworthy workers.
335	high	I try to keep the competition healthy and reward people who achieve. I listen to my employees and try to manage everyone’s personalities at once.
336	low	as a manager i would be sure to establish an environment of teamwork and productivity but also addressing the fact that everyone has a life outside of work. we all would work together to ensure that all are recognized as a person and their strengths and weaknesses would be embraced
337	low	As a manager I would try and keep up that teamwork-oriented mentality. I would want the workers I am supervising to be happy and comfortable so that whatever we were working on would get done in a timely manner rather than being stressed and rushing to finish something that may end up having mistakes.
338	low	I would continue with the cooperative environment and keep my team as a real team where everyone is valued and plays a part. My employees would share responsibility in our work.
339	high	I may not be able to change it but I can still manage the workplace in a balanced manner that is fair to everyone and to lessen the affects of a cut-throat environment. as a manager you can still punish bad actors.
340	low	As a manager in this supportive and respectful environment, I would prioritize open communication and actively listen to my team to foster collaboration and mutual respect, ensuring everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute towards our organization objective
341	high	I would try to be fair in the delegation of responsibilities and allocation of objectives. I’d also probably clump them into teams, so at least then it’s not so much “one-on-one” and also temper down management’s expectations whenever possible to release the valve occasionally, so to speak.
342	high	It would be very beneficial to try and change how the ethics are played out in this workplace, as it doesn’t sound like a very good work environment at all. Changes need to be made, such as making it non competitive and more as working together and encouraging my employees to help each other to create a non stressful and more productive work environment.
343	high	I would allow people to strive for their desired success.Cut throat or not.
344	high	As a manager, my fundamental belief is that my job is to remove obstacles for my direct reports. An environment like this is tough for me to operate in. However, I believe that the best way for me to act would be to do what I could to buffer my direct reports from the cutthroat environment.
345	high	I would show everyone that HR is a option and discourage said toxic acts and if that’s not enough discipline is an option available or termination
346	low	I would act in a collaborative manner. I would seek input and feedback from those around me.
347	low	I would continue fostering the supportive culture by encouraging teamwork, recognizing helpful behavior, and ensuring everyone feels appreciated and valued for helping one another.
348	low	I would continue to support and encourage what is happening. Good teamwork and supportive coworkers are great aspects of a work environment. I would also make sure to embody characteristics such as those typed in the paragraph.
349	low	I would keep encouraging people to collaborate and support each other. If being supportive is what it takes to ensure success, then I would keep us on that path.
350	high	I would act professionally with a good attitude. My immediate concerns would be for both the workers I supervise and the company I work for.
351	high	I would not reward those who take advantage of others to get ahead. I would also secretly use my time to try and find a new job.
352	high	I think that the presented work environment would make me operate in a mode of survival of the fittest and I would be concerned for watching out for my own interests rather than the employees I manage. I would be on the defensive to make sure no one could undermine my reputation to get me fired, while also looking for opportunities to get promoted and rise in the ranks of career growth.
353	low	I would just try to help everyone and lift their spirits so we can get our work done. This place seems supportive of each other so I would have to do my part in that too.
354	high	If I was a manger in this situation, I would try my best to focus my attention on those employees that put in their best effort navigating this workplace environment with honesty and integrity. I would try to fairly reward the employees that maintained an honest and hard working attitude while maintaining their integrity.
355	high	On account of this work environment liking arising as a reaction to the actual work itself–commission-based pay or whatnot–I would not attempt to change the culture, but rather act as a support that aids the competitive spirit in this workplace.
356	low	I would make sure to include others in the decision making process, and I would ensure that everyone felt as if his or her opinion was important. I would collaborate with my coworkers and work cooperatively rather than enforcing my will on others.
357	high	The employees that I’m supervising seem to be competitive and want to get ahead in this business. If the results are clear, competition amongst our peers is acceptable and is healthy in a work environment.
358	high	I would tell them to be careful who you trust and don’t get taken advantage of.
359	low	I would focus on teamwork, being that this seems to be the culture of this workplace. I would reward cooperative efforts, even if the results weren’t perfect.
360	low	I would do my best to support others and be positive. I would work to cultivate a collaborative workplace where everyone has what they need and is able to shine.
361	high	I would have a very hard time managing in an enviroment that was unfriendly and cutthroat. I would continue to be myself and work fairly with employees, I would communicate what is expected to do their job and I would hope they would trust me to do their best job.
362	high	i would be vigilant and dominant in the situation. Very hands on take charge kind of manager.
363	low	I would like to be a supportive manager to these employees, almost in a friendly, casual manner. I think this would be best to maintain the closeness among employees and continue to great bond.
364	high	As a manager in this workplace, I would keep a close eye on my employees’ performance and promote accordingly. I’d make sure to keep them motivated to be the best and even better the next time.
365	high	I will be careful and observant keeping an eye on my subordinates’ interactions with each other. I will allow them to perform their work or outdo themselves, but I will also make sure that they are not doing things that are harmful for work or against their coworkers.
366	high	I would work to resist this kind of culture. I would start with trying to have my employees work together towards small common goals.
367	high	I would try to keep information compartmentalized, only giving each worker I manage the necessary information they need, nothing else. Since I don’t caution this type of behavior or management, I don’t know what else to say here.
368	low	To keep it running as is, positive, trustworthy and work as a team employee s are a God sent!
369	low	I would be nice and supportive of people and have a friendly and strong workplace. My workplace needs to be full of honest, hardworking, and trusting people as well.
370	high	I would feel sad if my employees felt this way and if it actually was this way that they actually did work like this. I wonder if there would be any way to change the work system to make it more fair and just reward good work without having it be so cut-throat.
371	high	I would try to offer a way to make the environment better for all and foster a community of growth. I would ask my workers what we can do to make the work day better, how we can ensure everyone is doing their fair share, and how to provide recognition. I would want to improve the work environment for everyone, and hopefully, this will make us more productive.
372	high	If I were in this work environment, I would be very mature and not quick to get an emotional reaction out of. I would understand others are consistently fighting for attention and to appear better than others, so I would not believe everything I hear as well.
373	high	If I was a manager in this workplace, I would try hard to make sure the workers that I am supervising are recognized for the accomplishments, and encourage them to do the things that are necessary to show that they are good workers. I would try to be fair with my team members at least, even if I can’t change the entire work culture.
374	low	I would try and help the team collaborate more often. Rewarding people who offer help and share their information with others.
375	low	According to the writer the work culture and environment is pretty supportive and it would be amazing to be a manager at the company. it is amazing when you know you are not alone and everybody is looking out for you and in return you look out for everyone too. it would be easy to be a manager at this work place. they are gonna be like a family.
376	high	The environment is very cutthroat so there is a lot of managerial aspects that need to be looked at in terms of trying to keep productivity high. The main issue would be trying to get people to get along, and try to have people work well with each other. Since this is such a high stakes environment, I would be very involved with keeping the peace.
377	high	As manager, I would ensure that everyone under my supervision is adhering to work directives and watch for any negative behavior that could impact productivity. Other than that, as long as work is getting completed in a timely manner, it would not affect the workflow.
378	low	As a manager I would be happy that my workers are honest with each other and open with each other. Effective honest communication can work wonders when achieving goals.
379	low	If everyone supported each other and worked as a team, then my job would be much easier. I would act in the way that was already established and try to avoid confilct. I would be kind and encourage everyone and tell them they had done a good job after work. This would not be a difficult as a work environment with unhappy workers who have constant conflict.
380	low	I would start with simple things like asking people how they are what they are interested in. Being personable is very important
381	high	as a manager in a cutthroat environment, I would ensure that my workers had the support they needed. I wouldn’t coddle them, because there might be a reason why that specific workplace is the way it is, but I would ensure they knew that I was there to help.
382	low	I would provide an inclusive and open environment for my employees. I would celebrate successes with them. I would work with them in a collaborative way promoting teamwork and inclusion.
383	low	Recognizing that I have a team of good workers who cooperate and collaborate with relative ease, I would manage thoughtfully, with a caring, considerate style. I would strive to be respectful, fair, flexible and considerate, while being supportive, offering encouragement and praise.
384	high	I would try to be as logical and matter of fact as possible. Ensure that rules and boundaries were enforced 100% of the time for everyone.
385	high	I would probably micromanage and be extremely stressed all the time. I wouldn’t give much opportunity for growth in the company for fear of losing my job myself.
386	high	i would want my employees to work together and not feel in competition. so i would encourage teamwork and being honest.
387	low	It seems like this environment would be easier to manage, as the descriptions sounds as though the employees would have higher morale overall.
388	high	I would focus on performance and profits. I would encourage competition since this is the current culture. As a manager my main job is to increase productivity and profits.
389	high	I will try to manage this competitiveness. Make them to perform as best as possible while trying for them to still collaborate between them
390	low	I would act in the best ways possible to support the people I supervise. I would take an interest in the wellbeing of the people I work with and try to be a positive influence on them.
391	low	As a manager, I would make sure my employees know have no trouble with their work. I’d also make sure they are getting along with their colleagues and have no problems.
392	high	I would try to diffuse this attitude in my group since I think it is counter-productive. By fostering trust and teamwork, I think we can perform better.
393	low	I would make sure to take everyone’s opinions and thoughts into account.
394	high	I would utilize work meetings to try and undermine the damaging competitiveness. I would do this by emphasizing that we all have shared goals and that undermining others’ work will not be tolerated.
395	high	As a manager, I would be discriminating and biased in my management of the team, only providing support to those I deemed useful to further my own ambitions.
396	high	I would buffer my staff as much as I could from the cut-throat mentality. I would never supervise in that manner.
397	high	I would maintain a strong authoritative presence ensuring i’m always ahead of the competition
398	high	i would stay neutral observing power dynamics closely protecting my own position while making sure my team delivers results without getting caught up.
399	low	If I was a manager in this work place I’d be very supportive and encouraging of collaboration and team effort. I’d like the workers I’d be supervising to be able to communicate with one another and myself in order to be productive.
400	low	i love a positive workplace it is definitely something i would love to cultivate that support from oneanother is wholesome
401	high	If I were in the management position at this workplace, I would definitely appreciate the competitive nature of the employees. However, I would try to facilitate an environment where they know that they’re success is valuable, no matter what their colleagues are doing, and I would try to maybe do incentivize rewards and bonus systems to direct the competitive energy.
402	high	I think that I would try to encourage everyone to do the best that they can. Competition in itself isn’t terrible. By encouraging them to focus on their own behaviors and what they can control they can be competitive without actively harming one another in any way.
403	high	I would try to make the competitiveness healthy, instead of cutthroat.
404	high	Knowing that I could not change it, I would do everything in my power to go to someone higher up than myself and try to get it to where if I couldn’t make any new changes, then someone else could, or personally I’d walk from a place that toxic
405	low	I would give my employees a good deal of autonomy, as they seem to be able to discuss openly and problem-solve if disagreements or conflicts arise. I would have an “open-door” policy, in that my employees would know that they are always welcome to talk to me.
406	low	I would be happy to work in a supportive & collaborative environment. As a manager, I would discuss goals and issues with employees and be open about expectations, as well as listen to what they need to succeed.
407	low	I would try to keep the environment helpful and cooperative, but also make sure the work gets done and people are working to their best ability.
408	high	I would be neutral and fair with the staff. I would whom ever bought me the assignment would be the one with the credit. I would also make sure that i looked for another job.
409	low	As a manager in this supportive and collaborative environment, I would focus on maintaining open communication and encouraging team members to share ideas and assist each other. I would also make sure to recongize and celebrate team successes, reinforcing the value of cooperation and mutual trust in achieving goals.
410	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would make sure that I had my team’s back. I would run interference for them on some of the political issues/roadblocks to create some space for them to get their actual work done. I believe this is an important role in leadership/management.
411	low	I would respect my workers’ views and the way they do things best. I would spend time relating with them what needs the company has and that my superiors are requesting while giving them positive and negative feedback where need be so we could get stuff done in a harmonious environment where I advocate for the workers’ needs
412	high	I imagine that this is a sales environment where each worker is competing with every one else. I would have to be encouraging to each of my people and try to bring a positive atmosphere to the workplace.
413	high	Most likely I would hate working there and do what I can to get by and blend in until I find a new job.
414	low	In this situation, I would be looking around at my subordinates to see if they needed any assistance or guidance. I would provide help where needed and step in to assist with any tasks that need to be completed.
415	low	i will surely operate with it and make sure every employee operate with it.
416	low	I would take into consideration what my workers are faced with on a daily basis and assist them if needed or direct them to someone who could help them at that time, focusing on keeping the work place cohesive and together.
417	high	I would honestly try my best to not provoke the atmosphere more than it already is. I would attempt to make myself more available for support to my peers and their success in the best way possible without disturbing the energy of the workplace.
418	high	If I was in this environment, unable to change it, then I would be looking out for myself as manager. I would have zero tolerance for mistakes, and would actively hide any if I made them myself.
419	low	I would have a very laid back approach. I would make myself available to help and open to suggestions for improvement in the department.
420	low	I would be generally liberal with the way I managed employees. It seems like a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Where employees support each other enough that they need Little or no supervision. The only time I would see myself becoming a hands-on and confrontational supervisor or manager would be if someone was blatantly taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere and slacking. I would be fair yet firm. I believe supervising in this atmosphere would be something comfortable and something I would like.
421	high	I would need to be very intentional about my interactions with others. I would obviously want to treat my workers fairly, but also protect my own interests.
422	low	I think I would take a relatively hands off approach as a manager in an environment like this. I’d mostly trust the team to work together while doing just enough supervising to make sure everything stays on track. And I’d try to only get involved if someone directly asked me to.
423	low	I would continue to foster good working relationships between the members of the team. I would do a monthly meeting with each team member to check in with them and see where they’re at in their career journey, and ask explicitly what I can do in order to keep things going smoothly for them. I’d also workshop teambuilding activities on a seasonal basis. Finally, I’d provide the option to attend seminars and work with sites like Coursera to provide for more training if the team would like it.
424	low	As the manager working in such team-oriented environment, I’d try to promote team cohesiveness by hosting regular team bonding activities (e.g. happy hours), regular team retreats with specific themes, etc. Also, I would be more open to member feedbacks, and host brain storming sessions with the group regularly to collect their ideas.
425	low	As a manager I would encourage team members to collaborate with each other. I believe this type of work environment is beneficial for the company and for the well-being of workers.
426	high	I would follow the companies standards and policies strictly. I would also try to achieve goals and aim for the best performance.
427	low	As a manager in this challenging work environment, I would focus on fostering open communication and actively supporting my team, encouraging them to share their concerns and ideas without fear of retribution. I would prioritize their contributions and providing constructive feedback, aiming to create a sense of safety and belonging within the constraints of the existing culture.
428	high	I would try and help motivate my team the best I could. It seems that everyone is for themselves so confidence is definitely needed.
429	low	I would present myself as being compassionate yet stern. Maintaining a balance between employee happiness and work production would be a top priority although it seems it wouldn’t be difficult to maintain. I would care about the people I’m supervising while also trusting them and wanting to lift them up in the world.
430	low	I would be friendly and relaxed, checking in on people as needed. I would not feel the need to micromanage in this type of environment.
431	low	it sounds like there is a good culture already in place. i would manage with a light hand. Keep what is in place going.
432	high	As a manager, I’d work on managing emotions. Mainly serve as a sounding board and protect my workers from the bigger bosses.
433	high	I would diversify the workload so that it will be fair and favorable to everyone instead of dog eat dog situation. I will make it in a way that each team will have their field where they can draw clientele from so everyone at the end can cooperate.
434	high	In theory, I would take credit for others’ accomplishments and would not collaborate or share ideas with other managers.
435	low	I would love coming to work everyday working amongst the workers that I manage. I would plan special training and unity meeting on Fridays
436	high	If I worked in this environment I think I would try to act fairly emotionless as a manager, and do my job effectively but without developing personal connections because everyone is out for themselves. It sounds like an environment where you can’t trust anyone, so I would actively be on the lookout for people undermining my authority.
437	low	It seems I wouldn’t have to micromanage anyone. And that I could trust anyone to do the job that is given to them. I would be respectful of others and they would be respectful of me.
438	low	As a manager in this environment I would focus on promoting and maintaining the culture and trust of teamwork by using open communication, sponsoring team efforts, and leading by example. Success would be measured not only by individual successes but the achievements of the team as they support each other.
439	high	I would have to be careful. I would keep an eye on everyone and make sure people are playing fair.
440	low	As a manager in this workplace, I would feel motivated to mentor and develop my team. Also, I would feel supported in terms of my personal growth and career advancement.
441	high	I would try to do my best to keep the atmosphere in the office as congenial as possible so that there are not any disputes, or at least try to defuse the situation as best I can so that it becomes a bit less fraught.
442	high	I would do my best but this is not the type of environment I would enjoy. I would not change my management style, which is to be fair and facilitate a successful team.
443	high	I would do my best to make sure evey9ne felt appreciated and take the time to recognize who did the task and deserves the credit. I would make sure everyone is properly represented and do my best to make sure no one is being taken advantage of
444	low	I have a meeting and assign duties for a project to each team member. I ask for their feedback, and give them timelines. I ask that they get together once a day and check in with each other, bring issues to the team so they can solve them together when possible.
445	high	As manager in this workplace I would watch everyone closely supervising to ensure that all work is being done.
446	high	I would pay more attention to the people that were working hard rather than the people that were trying to suck up to management.
447	low	I would try to have employees work in teams whenever possible and promote honesty.
448	high	I would not hesitate to step on my subordinates and do whatever it takes to get ahead. I wouldn’t help anyone more than I needed to.
449	high	I would be very disappointed that my workplace turned out this way. A competitive workplace like this is like anarchy and would not function well together if everyone doesn’t get along with each other.
450	high	It would be a very stressful environment, so I would make sure that things don’t go over-the-top or extreme. I would also try to create a system where any employees with concerns can talk to me discreetly.
451	low	When direct reports have issues, first encourage them to go to their peers to foster and encourage the cooperative environment. Look for opportunities to reward and acknowledge peer support and cooperation. Try to praise the whole team for accomplishments, not just individuals. Recognize and acknowledge there is a lot of horizontal work being done which isn’t immediately quantifiable or personally reportable.
452	low	Seems that there is a good working environment of teamwork and job satisfaction so I must be doing a good job. If just got hired as manager then DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. Keep it the way it is for at least
453	high	I would put my foot down and express aggressively how we need to work together as a team and that we cannot be fighting like this on a daily basis. If anyone continues this behavior, they will be given strikes and eventually fired.
454	high	I would promote a culture of building up and helping your fellow employees.
455	high	If this were a situation I had to operate in and could not change I would encourage my employees to be as cut throut as possible. From my experience workplace culture is set at top management and there for to keep “my” job I would have to be willing to “play the game” or get another job…
456	low	While, I’m questioning if the workers manage to complete anything on their own and an certain I wouldn’t be the best fit, I’m not really seeing much wrong with the environment. Out send to work for them, why would I rock the boat, go with the flow.
457	low	I would act like a normal person, there is nothing to change, everyone gets along, people are supportive of each other and have a good deal of trust. It would be good to manage these people who get along so well.
458	high	If I found myself a manager in this organization and I truly could not change the culture, I would leave the job. This is not an appropriate culture for workers (or for managers) and I don’t want to support it or help this company succeed. The culture of a workplace is the responsibility of the leadership, after all. While I was preparing to leave, I would do my best to model kindness to my team and if I thought that some of them could be reached, I would have some honest conversations with them 1:1 to let them know that not every workplace is like this, and I would encourage their personal development and aspirations toward a better life that included a better position.
459	high	I would try to operate as honestly as possible. I have been in a similar situation and didn’t enjoy it. I tried my best to do my job but I felt taken advantage of by others.
460	low	Allowing my people to be working but managed to keep their spirits up as much as possible. I will give them breaks when they need them and give them perks to keep them going on their work.
461	low	If I was in the work situation that I read and was in a supervisory role, I would be a manager who worked to foster an environment where my employees knew that I was a dependable and knowledgeable resource. I would ensure that my leadership style was firm but fair, while also giving the impression that I see my employees as humans with real lives and not just work horses there to drive the business forward.
462	high	This kind of workplace sounds exhausting. In this workplace I would try to have an open door policy where people can come talk to me about anything and I wouldn’t use it against them.
463	low	In this position, I would be honored that the work environment I oversee is held in such high regard. It would be my goal to continue fostering the level of comfort and confidence that this employee describes.
464	high	I would definitely stay on my toes and be watching everyone interact and trying to listen to what is going on. I would be a manager who paid very close attention at all times.
465	low	I wouldn’t try to change anything that’s isn’t broke, so I would act accordingly.
466	low	I’d try my best to be supportive to my fellow coworkers by checking to see if they need help on anything while also making sure that things are being done both correctly and productively. I guess in an odd way, I’d be like a teacher of sorts. I want my coworkers to succeed and would give them supportive nudges in the right direction. Nudges that are not meant to attack, but meant to help everyone do their best.
467	high	This is hard for me to imagine because I don’t think I could even last a day in a workplace environment such as this. I suppose I would act very much as micromanager. I would constantly be asking for updates on projects and I would be monitoring all my subordinates tasks.
468	low	If I were a manager working in this situation I would tell everyone to keep up the good work and would tell the workers that the culture is great, and I would let everyone know to keep colaborating with each other and that the teamwork is working out great. I would act supportive and would act with encouragement.
469	high	This would be a tough situation. I would not like it.
470	low	I would greet my colleagues as I arrived in their presence and ask them about how they’re doing today. I would make a joke or two with them as I walk with them around the office.
471	high	I would try to boost everyone’s morale and suggest we all work together. I would have similar people working on certain things.
472	low	I would feel very confident, at ease, and content to be working in this environment. I’d consider everyone’s opinions and solve problems as a team, actively encouraging my employees to voice how they feel and working with them to achieve a collective goal.
473	low	The way I would act in something like this is still treat people as humans and treat them as grown ups. Even though it is a environment that I cant change, I would want to ensure that everyone can still enjoy the work as much as possible.
474	low	I would foster an environment of collaboration and ensure that everyone had the support they needed.
475	low	In this work environment I would want to be more to my subordinates than just a boss. I would want to be a strong supporter in their corner that they could trust and confide in.
476	low	Each person would be treated fairly and equally. Listening to each person and their concerns as well as ideas.
477	low	I would be the kind of manager that is supportive and approachable to my team so that this environment remains this way. I would want to foster this type of environment for my team.
478	high	I would be appalled to think that my staff felt this way. This is extremely unacceptable and I feel sorry for anyone who works in a toxic environment such as this.
479	high	I would use more professional language and better punctuation to start. I would work hard and do my best. I would be careful to not disclose to much to my co workers, so they couldn’t use it against me. I would make sure that I documented my work by e-mails and other methods to ensure I got credit for my work and ideas.
480	low	I would not try to change much in this environment. I would seek to promote the existing culture
481	high	As a manager in this environment, I would focus on maintaining a strategic balance, staying sharp to protect my own position while ensuring my team remains productive and competitive. I would prioritize results over personal loyalty, rewarding those who can navigate the game effectively while keeping a close watch for any moves that could undermine my authority or objectives.
482	low	I would work with my subordinates to keep fostering this same type of atmosphere. I want my employees to be able to trust me and their co-workers and I want us all to succeed. This honestly sounds like an ideal work environment.
483	high	As manager I would put an end to this cut throat atmosphere which is not good for either the workplace or employee retention. I would focus on praising those who are lagging behind while giving those who are at the top that appropriate amount of praise also. I also would hold meetings to let everyone know we are starting a new way of working around here.
484	high	I would worry about my position and job details and not let the chaos of work environment affect what needs to be done
485	high	I would try to be as fair as possible to my employees, I would encourage the same amongst them as much as possible.
486	low	I act in a way that would benefit and help workers do their job.
487	high	I would talk to my employees and try and explain why things feel that way and try and find ways to find positives and another way to look at things. I would give advice and try to get them to see a different angle.
488	low	Since this sounds like a positive place to work, I would want to continue the positivity as manager. Supporting the employees in their work and leading by example.
489	low	First I would make sure all of my employees could write in complete sentences, using the correct grammar, punctuation and spelling. I would run the office rather loosely as long as everyone was fulfilling their jobs. Not quite their buddy, but someone they were open to approach with problems.
490	low	I am glad that my subordinates seem to be getting along well with each other. I do what it takes to ensure they have the tools and information they need to get the job done. I work individually with them to make sure everyone is on the same page.
491	low	I would allow others to continue on, this seems like a kind of environment that people thrive in easily. I cannot stress enough how important some of these things are to prevent burnout and increase moral all around.
492	low	I think it would be pretty easy to manage these people. As they all seem to get along and do well, it may be the dream job for a manager. Plus, it sounds like a nice environment to work in.
493	high	If I was a manager supervising others in this work situation, I would focus on the positive and remain encouraging even through the cutthroat environment. I would also push those to be the best they can be. Everyone has another gear they can lock into if they put the work in.
494	high	I would do my best to make the environment at work as friendly and inviting as possible. I would try to make my employees feel more relaxed and less like they are in a life-or-death competition against one another.
495	low	This is a great place to work. My employees are the best that I could ask for. I do all that I can for them.
496	high	I’d warn my workers about how competitive the business is and how cutthroat it can be just the give them a heads up about what to expect and if they can take it.
497	low	I would likely take a fairly “hands off” approach, to the extent that’s possible, as it sounds like micromanagement wouldn’t be necessary or appropriate in such a setting. I would monitor performance while encouraging collaboration, teamwork, and collective accomplishment.
498	low	I would act in a positive and supportive manner. I would try to encourage an atmosphere in which this support system would continue to thrive.
499	low	I would want to help keep the supportive atmosphere going. I could help keep tasks on track and communication lines open if anyone needed help.
500	high	If I couldn’t change the environment, I would create appreciation events for employees and measure progress as behaviors that have improved or increased their sales or brought them closer to meeting their goal.
501	high	I would try my best to maintain a positive environment for employees.
502	high	I wouldn’t want it to be so competitive. There needs to be a balance.
503	high	I would try to treat people more fairly and make the employees feel like they do not have to be so cutthroat. I think competition is good but I don’t want people to feel like they have to step on other people to get ahead.
504	high	I would have to act as a tougher manager overall, and work to put aside my emotions. I would need to be emotionally removed from a lot of the work processes.
505	high	To lessen some of the tension in the workplace environment I would try to think of some fun or entertaining group activities that were non work related one a week to hopefully bring people together. Those activities would included prizes or something of monetary value.
506	low	I would be open to ideas, suggestions, thoughts, opinions and views. I would want this company to run smoothly with an open stance of communication from top staff to bottom. We ALL have a voice.
507	high	You would have to be very alert as to what is going on. It would be challenging to make sure everyone is treated fairly.
508	high	To succeed in this competitive environment I would combine result oriented management with protection of team efficiency while minimizing unnecessary staff conflicts. My emphasis would be to monitor power relationships closely to use growth possibilities and minimize threats that might damage my position or my group’s delivery outcomes.
509	high	If I could not change the culture, I would do my utmost best to make sure that my division or office that I supervise consistently meets or exceeds our goals. The focus would be on improving efficiency in the office and continuing training so that all employees are up to speed on the latest best practices.
510	high	I acknowledge the fast paced and competitive work environment. Everyone works really hard and is challenged every day. I am proud of the team’s performance and ability to complete their work in a thriving workplace.
511	high	I don’t do well in that kind of environment. Because of my own misery I would be an awful manager.
512	low	I would encourage group projects. I would try to make it so working together is easier than working alone.
513	low	As a manager I would promote trusts and open communications inside the workplace. I believe the relationships built inside the company will positively influence the workplace. I would happily participate and allow people to do so too.
514	low	I think i could manage a group of workers because i have a leadership mentality
515	high	I would probably participate in this type of environment, making sure the people I manage were doing everything they could to win. I’d support them doing whatever it takes.
516	low	As a manager in this supportive and collaborative environment I would focus on reinforcing trust by encouraging open communications. I would lead by example, fostering teamwork, making sure everyone feels valued.
517	high	Although I can’t change the culture of the workplace, I would try my best to encourage a healthier environment while still doing what needs to be done in order to complete tasks. For example, I would push for successful practices but I would encourage teammates to help each other to achieve success. If there was resistance however, I wouldn’t hesitate to enbrace fully this environment and do whatever needs to be done to achieve success.
518	high	I would act as a confidant for the employees and work my best to ensure their happiness in the company despite the environment.
519	low	I would act in a trusting and supportive manner and with respect to my co-workers. I believe in being open and transparent and having the respect of those I work with everyday.
521	low	I would be very receptive to my teams comments and grievances. Since we have such a collaborative environment it would best benefit everyone to be open.
522	low	I would make sure everybody feels like they can come talk to me about any issues or questions they can have. I would also make sure to always ask if anybody needs help to make sure they always know I am available if needed.
523	low	I would let my workers show their creativity and give them the freedom to work independently if they continue to do their job and respect one another. I would be supportive of their abilities and work ethic until they give me a reason not to and then I would guide them depending on the situation.
524	high	I would no longer work in an environment like this if I had no control over this situation. I would quit and find another job. Work environments should not be so negative, there should be teamwork, compassion, and loyalty.
525	low	I would be happy to be working in such an environment. I would be relaxed knowing that I can trust my team. I would be happy to offer help where and when needed.
526	high	I would tell the workers under me that they are free to come to me with any problems or issues, that I maintain an open door for their venting their concerns. If someone feels they are being treated badly by someone trying to get ahead at their expense, I would pull the culprit in and talk to them about their methods.
527	high	I would likely have the employee come in to my office and discuss his feelings about the job. I would ask him how he or she thinks that we can make changes for the better and to improve the work environment. I would also probably have a group meeting after that to gather all of the employees input. When employees feel that they are being listened to and that their input has value it usually results in a more positive outcome.
528	high	I would be intimidated by my employees and would be wary of their motivation behind staying in such a cut-throat environment. I also would have to watch out for any “teachers pets” who try to appease me.
529	high	I would actively work to change the culture and provide a safer space for the employees on my team to operate in. I would stand up to cut throat behavior from others and speak out about where the company needs improvement.
530	low	I would be pleased to be in an environment like this, as being collaborative and being team-oriented decreases the chances of drama. I like non-toxic work places, something that I’ve rarely experienced.
531	high	I think it would be very difficult for me to operate in a workplace with a cut-throat, competitive, dog-eat-dog work environment. I am not a competitive person by nature and this environment would not suit me. I would treat everyone with respect. I would use the competitive environment to my advantage by encouraging the employees to compete with each other therefore getting better performance from my employees.
532	low	I’m not sure this is the type of environment that I would want to foster as a manager myself. I prefer my team to be more self-sufficient so that they can complete their tasks on their own without having to rely on the rest of the team in order to succeed. However, since I must work within it, I would simply do my best to make sure every team member is as strong as possible.
533	high	If I were a manager I would be hyper vigile t about what my employees were doing and making sure they were producing the best possible product. I might also micromanage some things in order to make sure that we were getting the best possible outcome.
534	low	I think it’s a good environment, when co-workers can get along and help each other if need be. being a supervisor to self starters, is much easier than having to constantly remind insubordinates what their jobs are. I have supervised people in my past jobs, that just could not get out of their own way, and it was very frustrating! Then I have supervised those that would walk in, get started, and do their job without difficulty. It allowed me the time I needed to do my own job, without constant interruptions.
535	high	I would stay sharp and focused, making sure I protect my team while navigating the competitive environment. I’d prioritize clear communication and strategic decision-making to avoid being taken advantage of while still maintaining professionalism.
536	high	If the environment was out of my control, I would do my best to be a place of safety and trust independent of the chaos. I can’t control how others act, but I can continue treating people with respect and kindness just as I do in my daily life.
537	low	I would have an “open door” approach to my team, meaning that everybody can come to meet me with questions/topics. I want everyone to feel comfortable approaching me.
538	high	i feel i would have to micromagane some because of the employees being mean or vindictive toward each other
539	high	My first thought is once I have a good understanding of the “rules” of this workplace is that I would try to relate them to my team. I would also try to create a different set of rules that were clearly defined within my team and align more closely with my values. I couldn’t work in a place where I wasn’t working within my values.
540	low	I would make sure people have the training and other resources they need to do their work. I would make connections with other team members as needed.
541	low	I would be very happy and relatively stress free in this type of environment and would enjoy talking with fellow employees to accomplish our work. I think it would be pleasant supervising and working with others in such a cooperative and supportive workplace.
542	high	Because of the “cut throat” atmosphere in this workplace, as a manager I would try to make sure all basic expectations for conduct were followed. For example, not stealing company time, not altering/falsifying numbers for gain, no harassment. I would try my best to keep personal feelings out of my work decisions in order to stay above the aggressively competitive atmosphere.
543	low	I would want to continue the supportive and collaborative nature of this workplace. I would encourage workers to be honest and helpful towards each other.
544	high	I would try to organize the workplace into small groups of like-minded individuals to minimize problems between employees. I would have quick chats with each group throughout the day to gauge progress in work loads, but also to offer help and possible solutions to any difficulties or disagreements that come up. I would be making sure that work is being performed fairly and progressing while minimizing employee dissatisfaction.
545	low	I would be a supportive manager. I would trust my employees to make decisions and would not micromanage them.
546	high	It sounds like I would have to be very assertive and alert. You would also have to be good at managing people who are not particularly collaborative or willing to work together.
547	high	As a manager in this environment I would be trying to take credit as much as possible for the work that my team does. I would always make it seem like I did a majority of the work when its good and then find a team member to blame when its bad.
548	high	This is a cut throat environment, so as a manager I would invest in my time in employee talent. Since I can’t change the environment, I would expect the best from my employees and encourage them.
549	high	First of all, I would hate being in this position. I would try to be as open and honest as possible with my employees. I would let them know about the culture we were in, that it is a competitive environment. I would try to come up with objective measures of my staff’s accomplishments when possible, so that at least we could be fair. I would reward those who worked hard and did well – either with pay raises, more interesting duties or promotions. I would try to use the culture to motivate the lower-performing employees.
550	low	I would be so proud of my people! As humans we crave a safe, comfortable environment. Once that condition is obtained and maintained, our creativity and productivity are unleashed. This is when we can do our best work. As manager of a team like this, I would spend a great deal of time and energy to nurture these people, both as a team and individually when warranted.
551	high	As a manager in this scenario, I would do my best to look over the situations involving my employees as neutral as possible. Despite the competitive atmosphere, I would manage and supervise according to what my job title entails.
552	high	I would not do well in this situation. I would probably set very clear goals and boundaries
553	low	I would continue stressing teamwork and working together. It sounds like an atmosphere I would like to work in.
554	low	I would continue to be supportive and foster teamwork.
555	high	I would try to reward the employees who are best at their job, not the most cutthroat person.
556	high	I would operate in a manner consistent with the work culture. I would “play the game” and take advantage to move myself up the ladder.
557	low	I would act more like a mentor that a boss. I would model the type of behavior I want my team to use and it would help others on the team as well as my self.
558	high	If it’s not something I could change and I HAD to operate this way… I’d keep my eyes and ears open and try to maintain communication with the employees I supervise so that if someone has an idea and then someone else presents it to me I’ll know where the original idea came from. I’d try to make things less cut throat for people even though it’s not something I could change. If I myself am meant to act in this way, then I’d keep my eyes and ears open for ideas to claim as my own so that I could climb the ladder. Even though that feels wrong in every way imaginable.
559	high	Even if it is not advantageous to my career progression, I would still try to do what is best for my direct reports. I would make sure to dedicate my time to help grow their knowledge.
560	high	I would be constantly on the lookout for people making mistakes, and be ruthless in my feedback. I would caution my subordinates to be as precise as possible, and let them know that my feedback was designed to protect them rather than hurt them, so that they wouldn’t be the low hanging fruit.
561	low	As a manager of this workplace, I would feel rather proud to work alongside and be honored to manage such team members. Knowing that they are capable of working well with each other and offer each other support when needed would feel amazing.
562	low	I would make sure I do my job as effectively as possible, even if i cannot change change the environment
563	high	I would try to lead by example and treat my employees as I would want to be treated.
564	low	As a manager in this environment, I would be supportive and encourage teamwork. I would want my employees to feel like they can trust me and not be afraid to express any concerns or opinions they might have.
565	high	This would be a very challenging environment, and needs to be addressed. I would hope to be able to talk to higher management about it and address this, by making goals more spread out and achievable for everyone.
566	low	In this workplace, as a manager I would, ideally, perform in a way that would signify to my employers that we are a unified team. I would do my best to encourage and guide them, while also ensuring that I contribute my part to assist them in their performances as well.
567	low	It would try to be as much part of the team as possible. It sounds like this workplace is a fun and easy place be a manager of. Everybody helping each other and no drama.
568	low	I would make it a priority to include my team members in decisions about how to complete tasks in an efficient and timely manner. I would try to maintain an atmosphere of cooperation and support, realizing, of course, that everyone won’t always agree and there would be times I’d need to intervene and be the deciding factor, but always be open to reasonable ideas and discussions, as the team’s success depends on individuals working together toward a common goal.
569	low	I would trust my employees to do the work they are assigned. I would listen to them if they have ideas and encourage the employees to work together to accomplish the goals we have as a team.
570	low	It would be an overall positive place to work. I would enjoy managing the team.
571	low	If I was the manager in this workplace supervising workers, I would use tools such as compassion, understanding, and compromise. Side note: I understand that some things just cannot be changed, even if it is for the greater good.
572	low	I would continue respecting all staff and coworkers. When issues arose, I’d encourage us all to work together to resolve them.
573	low	I would try to make sure that all employees were encouraged to collaborate and share ideas. I would try to make sure that the employees felt comfortable sharing ideas.
574	high	as a manager in this environment i would an effort to to ensure all contributors are aknowledged by actively referencing who introduced an idea first.
575	low	If I was a manager working here I would not have much to do but regulate my employees I am above in a fair matter. I also would make sure the employees I am over are treated fairly but the other superiors.
576	high	I would encourage a culture where integrity was incentivized and back-handed dealings deincentivized. If I can’t change the entire culture, I would attempt to change my small part of it.
577	high	As a manager in this work situation, I would speak with my employees one at a time and find out their feelings. I would like to foster an environment that is not cut throat or where everyone is out to get someone.
578	low	I would act as if it were an honer to be a manger in a plce like this . and I would do everthing to keep the same energy.
579	low	I would trust the team to get their work done and rely on each other for assistance. I would not micromanage. However, I would be more than happy to assist or find someone to assist if asked.
580	high	This is entirely foreign to any work environment I’ve ever experienced. I would do the best I could to “tame the beast”, so to speak, attempting to calm the situation in my little slice of that particular world.
581	low	I don’t think I would adjust much from this type of culture. It seems productive as long as people aren’t complacent or becoming too dependent on one another to achieve their best possible outcome.
582	low	I would work to support workers in their work and in their careers. I would help my workers continue doing great work and supplement the culture of the workplace by being involved in finding professional development and community building opportunities.
583	low	I think In this type of work environment the Manager has to be the one that sets the tone. I would encourage collaboration. I would strive to keep things peaceful and conducive to work. I would not micro manage. I would treat people as human and encourage rather than put people down.
584	low	I feel like the culture of this workplace is something I would want to help inspire and foster. And that I would like them to continue to grow and develop as a team in that manner.
585	low	I would continue supporting this culture and encouraging others to do the same. People do their best work in supportive environments.
586	low	I would act so nicely towards the workers and the fact there is trust among themselves, they support each other and very collaborative gives me the zeal to work with them because i know the organization will benefit from such a team
587	high	Since the environment seems tense and competitive, this could lead workers to feel stressed and overwhelmed. As a manager, I would try my best to be of support to them while also making sure that I am doing my job and helping to maintain order.
588	high	I would feel like I need to be stern. I think this would be the best way to deal with the employees.
589	low	I would highly encourage working as a team and collaboration. This seems to work the best and builds trust among co-workers.
590	low	I would be very motivated to come in and work with the team and collaborate immensely I would also work to put in the hard work just as much as the team is. I would also encourage the team to continue doing what they’re doing and inspire them to reach their goals.
591	high	I would feel really anxious in this situation. I’d feel like I couldn’t trust either my upper management or the workers that I’m supposed to be supervising, and I’d be constantly really careful in this situation, making sure I do absolutely everything perfectly and by the book, and also supervising my employees extremely closely because it seems like they couldn’t be trusted.
592	low	I would take time to review projects and each team members contributions and get their opinions on what was the most difficult part of the process. Then I would ask them if they could think of anything they or I could do differently to make the process easier, faster or more efficient for the next time.
593	low	i would be kind to my employees. Bringing them food now and then, helping out when they have a difficult time, and just making sure everyone is comfortable
594	high	I probably would figure out a way to make the workplace fair for everyone to get ahead in some way.
595	high	It might be prudent to introduce short weekly meetings to air any grievances the workers may have to at least dispel minor conflicts. Next, there might be a middle of the week check-in for workers to discuss upcoming projects in a cooperative manner.
596	low	I would be honest towards the workers I’m supervising. I’d be determined to help them out.
597	high	As a supervisor in that environment, I would have to be somewhat openly aggressive and pus my team members to perform competitively by also demonstrating what is expected. Privately I would be attempting to mentor my workers to perform their best consistently.
598	high	i would not trust anybody, and would not take any crap from anyone
599	high	This would not be a good environment. I would encourage the people I supervise to accomplish things on their own, without sabotaging their fellow workers in order to do it.
600	low	I am glad I work in this environment. I try to help my workers and be supportive.
601	high	I’ll be honest, I’d have a very hard time in any role in this workplace. But if I was a manager in this situation, I’d understand the competitiveness and embrace it. That said, I would not allow for any type of bullying or malicious behavior. I would tolerate people doing what they need to do to succeed, but in a fair way to others. Anything that crossed a line would have consequences.
602	high	I would be as attentive as I could be to make sure the environment stays neutral. Workplaces turn toxic when there’s neglect.
603	low	I would give my employees good direction but also let them lead their projects.
604	low	This sounds like a particularly interesting place to be employed. It seems to be an extremely positive, productive place to work.
605	high	Being a manager in this work situation would be a lot easier than most other management positions. Everyone is too busy trying to “one up” eachother therefore leading me to do a lot less managing and moreso working alongside with my coworkers.
606	low	As an Inflight Supervisor, I lead by example, supporting my team, building trust, and fostering collaborative work. I recognize effort and focus on shared success.
607	low	I would try to further develop the supportive environment, and I would try my best to align myself with the culture.
608	low	I would be happy about it. I would work to manage my subordinates and appreciate the positive work environment.
609	low	I would do my best to make everyone feel included and heard. I would listen to their problems while maintaining a balanced approach.
610	low	As a manager in this workpalce, id focus on keeping the team motivated with clear goals and a steady hand! I would try to navigate the dialy grind while quietly finding ways to make the enviornment work for us, even if i cant fix the whole system. Id be the kind of boss who listens hard, cuts thru the noise and keeps everything moving forward
611	high	Why can’t I change this atmosphere? Any manager who can’t is a lousy manager. I would find another job instead of trying to manage a situation I can’t change.
612	low	I would retain communication and collaboration amongst my team members. Continuing to encourage them to support each other. Have a general meeting with them each week to catch up and just chat.
613	low	I would lead by strengthening the bond of trust and collaboration, making sure our team members feel supported and valued. I would make sure everybody has healthy open communication and recognize teamwork.
614	high	I would try to have training seminars or something to help calm down the competition. I would try to emphasize that we are a team working together.
615	low	I think I would probably be a more “hands off” manager in this situation because it seems like the employees get things done and really work together. I would encourage continued collaboration and while I wouldn’t intervene much, I’d always be there for advice and support.
616	low	I would push for employees to work together and to know that being honest and working together is the best way to run the business. This is a good environment to work in and should continue on the course that we are on.
617	low	I would check in on my employees and see how they’re doing and if they needed help, I’d find someone who could lend them a hand or help them myself if I have the time.
618	low	This team can be trusted to work without much micromanagement, as they have a track record of being supportive and collaborative. They can be given general oversight along with tasks, but they’ll be likely to have good self-management skills, and micromanaging them is neither needed, nor likely to bring out their best.
619	high	I’d be looking for another job, and just try to survive the best I could, knowing what I’m up against.
620	low	It seems like a positive and open workplace. As a manager, I’d try to be supportive and cooperative with my coworkers, not stepping over them, but trying to provide structure to others.
621	high	I would remove all emotion from my conversations. And I would do everything I could to keep my temper from changing while speaking to those I manage or my co-workers. Because they may be attempting to use my emotions against me so take my place.
622	low	I see this environment as healthy and collaborative. If I had the good fortune to work at this progressive company I would be supportive, happy to be there, and work hard to help everyone grow.
623	low	As a manager in this work situation, I would emphasize bulilding trust by having open communication and leading based on honesty and integrity. I would encouage teamwork, recognize everyones efforts, and make sure everyone knew they were valued.
624	high	I would acknowledge the challenges, but that i am on the side of the worker, not the c-suite, while at the same time trying to insulate workers from critical executives. I would run as chill a department as possible, and remind people that things only get tense when we can’t meet our targets, but that I personally do not ascribe to cutthroat business methods, and I wouldn’t be asking for loyalty, but that it is possible to talk to me without having that conversation get repeated up the chain. I can’t change the system, but i can make it more tolerable by recognizing it.
625	high	Actually, I would probably try to stay neutral, address serious grievances with group discussions and encourage ethical behavior. I would not tolerate illegal or evil behavior.
626	low	I would appreciate the honesty and teamwork and strive to not only supervise, but be a part of the team when needed. I would be an advisor, when needed, and give both support and recognition.
627	high	I think I would be very tense most of the time. My job would to try and make people cooperate rather than fostering a sense of competion.
628	low	I would encourage the employees to continue the culture of mutual support. I would provide them a wide berth and avoid any type of micromanagement. I would allow them more independence and autonomy with less supervision.
629	low	I would encourage my direct reports to continue participating in the culture of teamwork. I would praise people for helping others.
630	low	As a manager in this job I would feel confident. This is exactly the type of team you want to lead in this situation.
631	high	This doesn’t seem like the most fun place to be a manager. Feels like this would be stressful and have a lot of stand offs with my subordinates.
632	high	I’d be pretty chill with others because I know the professional environment just flat out sucks to work in, as it’s more of a hunter mindset of what you kill is what you eat.
633	low	I would perform professionally and unbiased as i deal with employees on their specific issue or job performance and give guidance and training if possible.
634	high	I would ensure that the work life balance of the staff members are very good. All the equipments and items needed by the team members will be provided.
635	low	I would support this type of work environment. I believe in the team approach and cooperation.
636	low	I would be happy and proud to be in this workspace. I would find joy in coming to work each day.
637	high	I would want to get to know my workers better and learn about their characters and what positive things motivate them. The current culture is not one that is positive and while that kind of an environment can survive for a while in the end both the workers and the work will come crashing down. As a manager I need to lead by example and a positive encouraging example at that and create a collaborative team environment.
638	low	I would be extremely supportive of the employees that I supervise. I would also do what I could to build trust and respect throughout the team so that everyone feels appreciated and their hard work is recognized.
639	low	I would definitely reward and encourage team work and collaboration, trusting my employees the best I can to do what is right to help encourage self-sufficiency and teamwork.
640	low	I would do my best to maintain the supportive environment that was mentioned by the employee. I would promote a supportive environment by greeting and briefly asking employees I come in contact with if there is anything I can do for them to help when I come across them.
641	low	I would be very happy to work in this kind of environment and I will support the people under me as much as possible and dedicate my time to ensure they get the possible best to deliver their work. I would also actively support and collaborate with other employees and departments as much as I can.
642	low	I would do my best to help my subordinates in this situation as I would assume they are giving me their best effort and want the best for me so I would want the best for them. I would try to make sure they had work life balance so we could maintain this positive culture without people leaving.
643	high	In a cutthroat workplace situation like this it would be vital to try and have employees collaborate where they can. It may be better to form teams to deal with competitive nature.
644	low	I would go “by the book” so to speak, but I would also not violate my own ethics. I would supervise the employees according to the procedures of the company, but if anything violated my own ethics, I would have to either negotiate with those higher up or resign.
645	high	it would feel stressful working in such an enviorment
646	high	I would ensure that everyone is following company protocol and no incidents that could be deemed immoral would take place that could impact employee work satisfaction. Knowing that the environment is high stakes nonetheless, I would ensure whatever success metrics required are met, and treat employee behavior with moderate grace in consideration of the circumstances.
647	high	I would try to foster cooperation among workers to the extent the work environment allows. The only way to break the retaliatory cycle is to create at least a small cooperative core.
648	low	I think working in this environment would bring me joy and satisfaction as a manager. Knowing that people have a positive work environment would make it easier to supervise and lead.
649	high	Even though the environment is very competitive I would still trying to be encouraging and help where I am able.
650	high	I would definitely have to go against my natural kind and understanding nature to a great degree. I would have to develop a toughness or tough skin and unfortunately stoop to others level in order to “play the game” at work.
651	low	As a manager my duty would be to uphold the companies’ policies and procedures. I would be a instrument to my staff, and make sure they have everything they need to succeed. For example, the support, information, and as little as supplies needed for the job.
652	low	i love the collaborative nature of this workplace. i would reward collaborative behavior with projects requiring these skills.
653	high	I would try to talk it out with the employee and express my empathy. I would find ways to make things better for him/her
654	high	I would restrict my communications with all employees to only business related discourse. I would get involved in any disputes or conversations that are not related to myself or the company. I would try to stay in my office with the door locked.
655	high	If I was a manager in this workplace and I was unable to change the environment or culture personally, I would encourage competition between employees. I would provide rewards for individual achievement and do nothing to encourage group work. I would hold office competitions - for example - allow multiple employees to “pitch” me their idea for a project and award the idea that seems the best.
656	low	If I were manager in this work situation, I would be proud of my team and make sure to call out their strengths and achievements. I would still be technically supervisor, but would try to be on my team’s level as well.
657	low	As a manager in a posive atmosphere it would be a great place to collaborate together and encourage people to be team players and give ideas on how to keep the environment positive and growing.
658	low	If I was a manager in this work situation, I would try to ensure that all workers feel supported and happy in their environment. Because the workplace is not something I could directly change, I would try to make sure everyone is having the best experience possible.
659	high	I would make sure to be outwardly nice and friendly to everyone, but still be strict.
660	high	I would do my best to be caring toward the people that I supervise, and know that I seem them as a human being, not just a worker.
661	low	I would try to ensure that people contribute to the culture. I would encourage teamwork and assisting others if they are stuck.
662	high	I’d want to be nice as a manager. This job sounds genuinely awful and the environment sounds toxic and awful. I’d want to be a friendly face or a rock for my team in such a bad environment.
663	low	I would enjoy it probably, and would encourage my workers to collaborate with each other to boost morale and productivity.
664	low	As a manager in this situation, I would do my best to continue supporting team members. I would invite them to come to me with ideas, concerns, or any feedback. While holding everyone accountable for their work and their decisions, I would try to provide as much encouragement as possible.
665	low	I would be communicative with my employees. I would also strive to be a good leader.
666	high	I would work with my direct reports to identify their goals and ways to achieve them without undermining each other.
667	low	I would go into work with a open mind and try to have a good day. I would listen to my co workers and work with them to get the job done the best that we can,
668	high	If is needed to supervise a workplace i would make sure that productivity is happening at the highest capacity. No over working or employee competition between each other.
669	high	Not allowing to change things isn’t my cup of tea so I will definitely find a way to do it. There are laws and regulations for such things and I am ready to lose my job over it. No one is getting bullied or felt less than on my watch.
670	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would attempt to make sure people weren’t hurting overall productivity to elevate themselves. I would also try to make them feel more comfortable with their current positions, as most of them naturally wouldn’t be getting promoted in this scenario.
671	high	I will still try to be a good manager and work with employees to become better. I will most likely try to find another job as well since I’m not comfortable taking advantage of others.
672	high	I would probably try to maintain the peace. As a manager it’s important to make sure everything is working properly and keeping the peace is doing just that
673	high	I would pull employees in and ask them what the top 3 grievances are and how they would best like to change them. I would also offer an anonymous option for those who do not wish to make their grievances public.
674	low	I wouldn’t be really managing too much since most of the workers would be already working together.
675	low	It sounds like I could act more as an enabler in this setting instead of a micro-manager, as the team seems to have collaborative efforts and accountability naturally.
676	low	As a manager in this situation I would make sure that all employees felt supported and trusted. I would ensure that I was available to provide help and guidance in any way that I could to help reach goals for the team.
677	high	I think that being a manager in this workplace would be exhausting. You would have to constantly make sure that things don’t get too crazy and people don’t get too worked up or angry at one another.
678	low	I would trust that most people are good at working together, but I would still watch for putting people who work extra good with each other together.
679	low	I would feel happy because the people in the workplace are safe and cool with each other.
680	low	As a manager in this situation I would be extremely proud and supportive of a work environment that promotes teamwork. I would act in a way that enhances peoples ability to ask other for help such as guiding them to the right team members for assistance.
681	low	It seems like a pleasant work environment. Much different than what I currently deal with.
682	low	I would be a proud supervisor in this situation. I would trust my employees to do the right things and meet their deadlines. I wouldn’t have to hover around them to make sure tasks are completed.
683	high	I will be a very strict and welcoming manager, I won’t give chance for backbiting and I won’t reward it. I will only encourage collaboration and team work and give reward for both.
684	high	I would still perform my job as usual. I would try to adapt to the situation as best as I can
685	low	My workspace is an open office concept. My vp sits in an open office just like I do. There are conference rooms all around if you need privacy for a meeting. The staff is all very supportive and will help with all things.
686	low	I would act as a manager who listens to concerns, feedback, and suggestions. I would have a lot of trust in my employees as micromanaging is nonexistent. I would have clear communication skills which makes the work environment smoothly operational.
687	high	I would be the exception and lead by example. I would hope that my behavior would be contagious.
688	high	I would try to minimize the poor work situation in any way that I could. Cut- throat is one thing; an atmosphere where co-workers backstab and can’t be friendly is something else. I would make sure to be scrupulously fair and reward both competitive behavior and cooperative behavior, in whatever way was possible.
689	high	I am not sure how to manage people in this type of work atmosphere? I guess if the whole work aspect is getting to the top, you would acknowledge the worker’s who are succeeding and rising above.
690	high	The environment is nothing but stressful. I constantly deal with high volume of demanding and complaining.
691	high	I will have to make work or daily rules everybody most follow to avoid misunderstanding at work place. Another thing is also organize an anonymous survey to ask every work how he or she is feeling about the work conditions and place.
692	high	I would stay steady in the work environment and make sure I am taken seriously. A lot of careers in sales involve cut throat situations and competitiveness. I would keep my employees happy with scheduling and job security but do what needs to be done to meet goals to keep my position.
693	low	This work environment seems like a very positive atmosphere and one that would be pleasant to work in. As a manager, I would probably use a more hands-off approach since it seems like I would be able to trust the employees to do what they need to do and cooperate with their co-workers to achieve their goals.
694	low	In such a healthy and supportive environment, I would most likely take more of hands-off approach to managing and supervising. I would obviously still be around all the time for questions and guidance, but a team like this one sounds like it could be trusted to take care of itself for the most part. Plus, taking a backseat would likely encourage growth in my subordinates.
695	high	I would try to watch my employees very closely. And I would also try to make sure that they did not spread rumors.
696	high	I would be cold, to reflect the environment I work in. I likely would treat people as tools instead of people.
697	high	I would try to make the best of it as much as possiable to make it to where even though its cut throat and competitive I would see to it as much as possiable that everyone yet be rewarded,making sure that those who suffer the worse outcome because of being out performed would also still get things to an extent to even they would be content.
698	high	I would probably be cut throat too. Survival of the fittest. I don’t like that atmosphere but it’s probably required to survive the job.
699	low	I would be very supportive to my workers and I would make sure that I am always available if they have any questions or issues. I would also try to lead by example and would work hard and stay out of trouble.
700	high	I think that I would have to look at the attitude I usually have and change it. I wouldn’t be as easy going as I usually am, I would be more assertive and make sure my authority is known. I have to be more aggressive than I normally am.
701	low	I would try to continue this positive work environment. I would learn from the past and try to maintain it.
702	low	In this work environment I would treat everyone in the capacity that they are well functioning adults that can manage themselves. I’d simply be there to offer help and guidance when needed.
703	low	If I were manager I would make sure everyone is getting the work they need to done. I would also make sure people are actually liking the culture and make sure we maintain what works for most people and gets the job done.
704	low	As a manager, I would trust that I could delegate responsibility to my team members without having to micromanage them. I would also be able to ask a team member to help out another colleague if I can see where one is obviously struggling, and I wouldn’t get negative pushback from any of the other members.
705	low	I would feel proud if I was the manager in this work environment. Collaborative team effort brings a lot of success these days.
706	low	I would be proud of my team for having such a welcoming and inclusive environment. I would do all I could to continuously support my team and encourage the trusting atmosphere.
707	low	I would make sure to check in on every employee and their well being. I don’t feel you can have a great team together if the work morale is low.
708	low	I would support my workers in their efforts to collaborate and work as a team. They seem to get along well, and I wouldn’t want to change that. I would guide them with anything they need.
709	low	As a manager in this workplace, I would lead by example and communicate effectively. I’d support my team by recognizing their work and collaboration.
710	low	I would try to interact with my employees. I would make it a fun environment.
711	low	I would act respectful towards others in this environment and give them the benefit of the doubt when problems arose.
712	low	I would try to take a “middle ground” stance. I would have to be firm it someone needed reprimanding, but be fair to everyone.
713	low	I would be content in this setting because it’s a warm, friendly, and cooperative environment. There would be little conflict, so when it does arise I can be adequately able to resolve it.
714	low	I would be less strict than I usually would be in a management position, as my employees are cooperative and willing to help me out.
715	high	In what situation? I don’t understand the scenario, because I didn’t see one.
716	low	I would do my best to support my team and continue to foster a collaborative and supportive work environment.
717	low	I would give the team more choice in the decisions that will affect the team as a whole. A lot of supervisors treat their jobs as if they are babysitters instead of motivators.
718	high	I would feel uncomfortable. It would make me think that my reports are out to get my job.
719	high	I could not work in a place like this. I would do my best to get along and do excellent work, but I would be looking for another job. Some workplace environments are toxic and I feel it is better to leave them than to try and change them.
720	low	I’d embrace the culture in the workplace and work to foster its continued use.
721	low	As a manager, the best way for me to go about this is to make sure that every employee is being treated fairly and is emotionally supported enough to put on a state of the art performance. This is what keeps a workplace smooth functioning.
722	high	I am a firm believer in the grind and a winner takes all mentality. While it would be difficult to be a manager in such an office, I think I would look forward to the challenge. I might end up getting fired but I could also rise to the top and DOMINATE !
723	low	I would be very supportive of my team. I would ensure my team has all the necessary tools they need to succeed.
724	low	I would try to be both helpful and encouraging to the workers I supervise. Teamwork is important for both the individual and the company to be successful.
725	low	I would be willing to help those that I work with succeed in their area. I would be as helpful as I can so we all can grow. I would be a team player
726	high	I would have to treat all my employees like they are competing against each other. I would have to be more cutthroat and ruthless than all my employees.
727	high	I would make sure my employees are on task and not goofing around. I would say and do what I needed to in order to get the results I wanted.
728	high	If I were manager, I would try to emphasize cooperation and collaboration. Even though the workers are competitive, a manager can do a lot to make a difference, by creating workplace games and channeling that competition into fun prizes.
729	high	I would be keeping tabs on all my employees to make sure they are staying on task and performing their jobs at the highest level possible.
730	high	If I were a manager in this situation, it sounds like there desperately needs to be some work done on bringing people together to work together rather than competitively. When people are only out for their own progress and success, it can potentially lead to tearing others down which would be an overall negative to the work we are trying to accomplish.
731	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would remain open, helpful, and friendly to my coworkers but also know that I have to keep my eyes and ears wide open and have great situational awareness to all the goings on around me.
732	high	As a manager in this environment, I would stay highly strategic, protect my team by staying alert to internal politics, and make sure we’re always one step ahead. I’d reward results, encourage loyalty, and quietly ensure no one could take advantage of us.
733	low	I would be proud to supervise these type of employees. I would in return treat them to a weekly catered in lunch and possibly some type of gift card incentive.
734	high	I would take everything with a grain of salt and verify information. Something that is popular now is a phase “show me the receipts”. The workers would be required, when submitting work or ideas, to write just a few sentences how they got there.
735	low	In this environment I would prioritize understanding and adapting to the existing culture and fostering an atmosphere of support and productivity among my team.
736	low	I would keep with the cooperative and trusting nature. I would not micro manage, but rather trust people to get their work done.
737	high	If I was in this workplace and unable to change it, then I’d have to act meticulously and be very cunning. I’d probably actively encourage competition between my employees.
738	high	I would act as part of a team. I may be the manager but when work need to be done I’m more than willing to help out.
739	high	I would work hard to try to protect my direct reports from this culture. That could mean standing up for them to other managers/employees, advocating for them to receive raises or promotions, or being the point person for particularly difficult colleagues. It would be very challenging and stressful, but my main priority would be the wellbeing of my direct reports.
740	high	I would have to be on top of my game at all times. Making sure that the employees are not affecting the mental well being of the rest of the emplyees while still doing their job.
741	high	I would keep an eye on unethical practices. I would reward employees who succeed honestly. I would try to create some work activities inside and outside of the workplace for employees to relax and have fun since it seems like such a stressful place to work.
742	high	I have been a manager in a place like this and you cannot change it as a first level manager. That attitude comes from how the company is set up, a first level manager can’t make the organizational changes needed to make employees not feel this way.
743	high	If I were managing people in this environment and really couldn’t change it I would try to make sure people stuck up for themselves. I would do my best to see that people didn’t get screwed over, and encourage those who were taken advantage of to change their behavior or support them finding a new job.
744	low	Continue to let employees set the vibes. 2. Be supportive, do small things to make people’s lives better (bring treats, let people go home early, cancel unnecessary meetings). Find ways to reward employees for positive impact
745	low	I would maintain an open-door policy with my employees. I would make myself as accessible as possible and not shut down ideas as they could lead to better ideas.
746	low	Being as helpful and supportive for my teams as possible. It would make it easier and more rewarding to work with my team to help them accomplish work related goals as well as personal. An environment like the one described encourages healthy cooperation.
747	low	I would foster the sense of cooperation between my workers by assigning tasks to groups where practical, and praise workers who help out when the don’t have to.
748	low	I would be supportive of this work environment and allow the team to interact as they have been. I would try to ensure that they knew I am approachable should any situations arise that require my intervention.
749	high	I would do my best to put an end to the awful behavior. I would try and form a team where we all work together and celebrate wins. I would have no issue letting someone go if they caused a toxic work place.
750	high	As a manager, I would have the protection of being above a number of employees within the hierarchy, but also be in contact with upper management more than my subordinates, which would create its own risks. Because of this, I would try to use my managerial position to be collaborate and understanding with my subordinates, as they are not allowed this luxury, and to try to change the culture, but also understand that even with them I would have to watch my back and know that they don’t see me as an equal. In terms of with my superiors, I would be cautious to maintain good relationships with them but also understand to keep a distance because they are not looking out for me.
751	low	I would work to maintain the existing atmosphere of cooperation and trust. I would involve the employees I supervised in the decision making process and consider their input.
752	high	I would struggle to manage in this kind of environment, but I would do my best to ensure everyone felt safe. I would try and focus on each individual employee and focus on their goals and successes instead of trying to pit them against one another.
753	high	I would do my best to implement practices that didn’t promote opportunities for others to backstab each other, while simultaneously maintaining a personal distance as much as possible from my subordinates as not to give them chances to manipulate me further.
754	low	I would ensure that the supportive efforts by all employees continued. I would want to maintain that atmosphere.
755	high	I would try to disperse the assignments equally so everyone had a moment to present their abilities. It would also help to stop any feelings of competition employees may feel.
756	high	I would try to do my best to work on this environment into one where everyone can work together and against themselves. It can be hard to trust others if you feel like they are going to be out to get you and I feel like this can inhibit a healthy and productive work environment.
757	low	I would be an encourager. Supporting the efforts of the workers - praising their successes and providing constructive feedback on their problems/failures. Promoting an atmosphere of cooperation would go far.
758	high	I can’t imagine trying to manage a team of cutthroats. I would do my best to encourage each team member to do their personal best, and I would try to reward everyone based on the entire team’s efforts.
759	high	If I were a manager I would try to change the overall vibe of the workplace and try to get employees to act as a team and help each other instead of the cut throat feels there now
760	high	If I were the manager I would make it my priority to make sure no abuse of any worker was taking place. While it may be cut throat it should not be abusive. I would discipline anyone who used abusive tactics such as belittling, sabotage of effort, lies, discrimination to get ahead I would praise getting ahead by working harder, being innovative, having good time management, being creative in problem solving - and I would try very hard to model those behaviors over back stabbing behaviors. I don’t believe a manager has to operate in an environment like that - that there is nothing a manager could do to effect change.
761	low	I would have some expectation that everyone is pretty much cooperative and willing to work together and have a great attitude no matter what tasks are before them. I would think I could manage them well since there is a collaborative, team-spirited attitude.
762	low	As a manager, I would promote the collaborative teamwork to the employees. An environment that stresses working together rather than climbing over each other is key to our success and is a selling point to customers. I would continue to reward employees who work according to our ideals while trying to show the others why we take the approach we do.
763	low	i would always offer encouragement to my employees when i see them do something good. i would make small talk with my employees and try to learn about their personal lives
764	high	I think I would manage as unbiased and levelheaded as possible. I would be honest to my employees that good work is rewarded and will take you far without seeming to single anyone out. As an employee right now (as in, in real life and not in this scenario) I understand that my performance at work is what will influence my value as a worker in the eyes of my supervisors.
765	low	In the environment described here, it would be refreshing to lead such a team. I would ensure everyone feels welcomed and that they are given the freedom and resources they need to do their jobs.
766	low	As a manager in this environment, I would support my team by encouraging working teamwork and open communication. I would make sure everyone feels valued and help them work together to succeed.
767	high	My Workplace is Very Small and Chill and Not Too Stressful Im Just Handling and Minding My Own Business and Taking Care of Things That Needs to Be Done. I Make Sure Everybody is Handling Their Business and Its Not Toxic We All Just Finishing Our Quotas and Objectives and Making This Money Along The Way and Making Memories Too.
768	high	I would do my best to help the team I supervise work around the environment. If possible I would form a pilot in which we change the way we work within the competition. I would start by having team luncheons and outings. Hopefully, the team begin to develop trust for one another. I would then try to set up agreed upon rules about how the competition will work for us. Maybe this month, Joey is the star of the office, maybe next month it is Jodi.
769	high	As a manager in this situation I would do my best to build a better culture. I would make it known that it is okay to share feed back and have an open door policy. I would encourage my employees to do what is right.
770	low	I would initially try to get along with the coworkers and determine if this a healthy culture or environment to work in.
771	high	I may not be able to directly change the culture, but I can act in my role to try to make my own area better. I would watch for actual contribution and teamwork not just how good people can make themselves look compared to others.
772	high	I would do everything from my office. I would email people instead of speaking to them or calling them. If I had to speak with an employee personally I would call them into my office. I would not interact with anyone at the organization any more than I had to in order to keep my job.
773	high	Come on people! Youo have to push these numbers, this isn’t good enough. Remember best numbers gets a bonus!
774	low	I would act fair and supportive. Always help those when they need it. Open communication of course, and I would encourage communication.
775	high	I would be extremely strict, stern and unyielding as a manager working in this kind or environment. I would not take no as an answer or disobedience lightly.
776	low	I’d imagine it would feel a lot safer to give my ‘all’ in this environment, that any work and effort I put in would be repaid. I think I would feel like the people who I lead would also feel that way, and it would allow for a good dynamic among them. Everyone would try to help others and it would allow everyone to thrive.
777	low	I would likely be more inquisitive to ask questions about the workplace more than not. To be well educated on the environment I would be in charge of would help wonders.
778	high	I wwwould treat every employee with respect and I would treat eveyone fairly because we all should work as a team to et the job done and we spend as much time a work as we do at home so it is eaiser to work to together to et the job done
779	high	I would be consistent with my employees. I would be respectful and try to have a fair work space.
780	high	I would try to do my job as a manager based on what I was hired to do. I would actively look for a job at another company with any available free time I had.
781	high	As a manager I think my job would be to try to get my employees to work as a team. It sounds like everyone is just out for themselves and that’s not a very stable work environment.
782	low	I would have no trouble working in this atmosphere where people get along and help each other. I have a pretty even temper and I really enjoy helping people.
783	high	I would document everything, focus more on building relationships with those above me vs. those below me, and probably not be as forthcoming or collaborative with my direct reports. I may only share information in a way that is beneficial to me. But I’d also try to stay on my direct reports’ good sides.
784	low	As collaborative leader, I would encourage an open cycle of feedback and communication to continue building upon the atmosphere and employee knowledge. For example, I’d empower employees when mistakes are made by using them as a learning opportunity for the team to innovate procedures in case employees have a better method to avoid such mistakes.
785	high	I would make sure to be firm, encouraging others to do their job but to remember , while encouraging them in their endeavors, that we were a team. A team that needed to work together for the common good of the company.
786	low	I would promote and encourage team building strategies and try to meditate any disagreements to ensure it remained a positive and collaborative environment.
787	high	I think I would be overwhelmed. It would be hard to supervise people and try to make sure that everyone got along. Depending on the job description you might have to match people in projects and make sure they get along in this kind of environment. I would think people might not get along real well in a cut throat type environment and be uneasy with each other in their day to day interactions.
788	high	If this atmosphere were something I could not change, I would try my best to extricate myself from all of the drama. I’d be trying very hard not to become enmeshed in the personal vendettas and resentments. I would not engage with those I supervise in a personal way or befriend them. I would operate strictly in a business manner.
789	low	I would do everything correct to act as a good manager. I would also make sure that all the employees are treated fairly and have everything that they need to work comfortably as well too.
790	high	I would treat all those under me with respect. Take a notice and give work to those who put in the effect.
791	high	I would help everyone to learn how to be better than the next person if it’s so cutthroat as they say. Not to cheat anyone , but to earn your place at work.
792	low	I would be helpful and encouraging. I think that type of work environment is great and I would want to continue the helpful and supportive part.
793	low	I would work with the employees, allowing them to have input on many aspects of the workload. I would value the contributions of the workers and make sure that they were aware of that fact. I would also take steps to ensure that the atmosphere of support, collaboration, and respect was always a driving force in the workplace at all times.
794	high	I would focus on being strategic and focus that my team stays on task.
795	high	I would force as much of the work I managed to be conducted “in the open” where everyone could see and hear what others were doing. Regular group meetings with updates on all the ongoing projects would also help. Skullduggery and underhandedness require secrecy. To work in an environment like this ethically requires transparency between all members.
796	low	I would treat others with equal respect and opportunity and give promotions based on work output not feelings. I would also be more comfortable asking and requesting input from those I oversee.
797	low	I would talk to people with respect and get their input, make sure everyone felt heard. I would determine which workers were good at what and try to put people together on projects that would work well together.
798	high	In a cutthroat environment, which happens often in sales I would have to try to keep everyone civil as work can turn into anger towards coworkers all the time. I would treat everyone fairly and try to make sure everyone had the same opportunities while being friendly towards everyone.
799	low	I would want to be very involved with the team. Collaborating with the staff is the best way to ensure they are all on your team and on the same team.
800	high	I would be extremely clear and upfront about everything so there was no room for misunderstands. I would also focus on documenting what is expected in terms of employee performance so everyone could be judged fairly and using the same set of metrics.
801	high	While I intend to manage fairly and follow established procedures, I may need to adapt them to best suit the situation.
802	low	I would be carefree and easygoing. I’d be the type of manager employees could come to with any type of concern.
803	low	I’d do my best as a manager to support and foster collaboration among my team. Playing a role of supporting them during projects and providing guidance where i can to steer the work to something that aligns with larger goals.
804	low	I would focus on on providing clear expectations consistent communication and advocating for their well being no matter what
805	low	I would work in support of the overall teamwork. Solve conflicts and problems that might hinder my groups ability to work as a team. The better the team works together the more work we can complete.
806	low	I would continue to cultivate a team like atmosphere with an emphasis on collaboration. I would communicate my trust and support in them and encourage them to do the same for each other.
807	high	I would try to reward or encourage people when they act well in a team environment. I would also to try to say something when someone acts anti-socially.
808	high	So if the workplace is as cutthroat as this employee states I would focus on the quality of the work rather than the quantity. I would also focus on the personalities of the people that are working there because personality says a lot about what a person is capable of and I myself don’t want to have an employee that will stab somebody in the back figuratively.
809	high	If I was a manager in this work situation, supervising others, I would be as fair and transparent as possible. Even though the workplace environment is not ideal, I’ll manage my team the right way.
810	high	I would probably be super intense and look at my employees work to make sure everybody is performing their jobs well.
811	high	I would be respectful and kind. I will hand out tasks to everyone and follow through to make sure the tasks get done in a timely fashion.
812	high	i would carefully monitor workers to see what they were doing each day and see what kind of tactics each worker was employing and try to get a sense of how each person was feeling and reacting to the day.
813	low	I am going to give them 20 minutes break for meditation- taking turns- 3 days a week

Impact on employee

PID	cond	impact_open
1	high	I think that they worker felt very hurt and pressured by it.
2	high	the worker got up and worked on his task because he was worried about the consequences
3	low	The worker ws likely pretty unhappy. This probably messed up the environment a bit by creating strife in the work place
4	high	I’m sure the worked felt very upset at that confrontation. the manger could have approached the situation better.
5	high	Probably nothing. I guarantee nothing was done about the manager speaking to the worker like this. If I were the worker, I would’ve either quit or reported this behavior.
6	high	I believe the worker was upset at being talked like that from their superior.
8	low	Nothing, that’s annoying but not egregious enough to do anything about. Now if the project didn’t get finished, the manager might have gotten reprimanded or fired, but not for telling an employee to get to work.
9	low	I think the worker probably felt scared and upset over the manager’s insane reaction to taking a short break.
10	low	The worker probably didn’t feel so good. I’d probably expect an apology later. Also workers can legally take breaks.
11	low	The worker probably felt targeted and felt bad. I do not like this approach and think it was a mistake by the manager. This worker might start thinking about finding another job because of this incident.
12	high	I think the worker felt nervous for the rest of the day. I think the worker probably worked more slowly instead of taking breaks. I think the worker tried to make his pace look faster than it was.
13	low	Probably nothing, because often times power structures are set up to protect people like that from getting any sort of consequence.
14	high	the worker probably felt stressed and upset. they might’ve gotten anxious about the threat and tried to work faster, but also felt resentful towards the manager for shouting at them. they might not have felt motivated after that.
15	high	If this manager worked in the “cutthroat” environment I would imagine that nothing happened to them in terms of consequences. It probably wasn’t the worst thing that happened that day in fact.
16	low	I am sure that the worker begrudgingly started working on the project, but felt humiliated and bitter about it. It would probably negatively affect their work performance as well.
17	low	I think the coworker did a better job after the encounter with the manager
18	high	I’m sure they were upset because yelling is never professional or okay.
19	high	Nothing probably happened. The manager probably got away with acting this way. I’m sure the worker was angry and embarrassed.
20	low	The employee probably did indeed work faster and ended their break, but it also probably left the workplace shaken and uneasy. People probably feel guilty for taking their legal breaks and their lunches, and they’re probably more wary of management.
21	low	The worker likely felt embarased or stressed by the managers outburst.
22	high	As a consequence, I can imagine the worker spitefully working slower or clocking in earlier if they weren’t able to get in contact with some sort of workplace lawyer that would be them in trouble with HR and the law.
23	high	The manager could have received a complaint from HR. The worker did not like the anger that was expressed towards him.
24	low	The worker was probably shocked and felt disrespected. I do not think the manager received consequences for this.
25	low	The worker was most likely upset and frustrated with his manager. Nobody enjoys being yelled at.
26	high	The manager likely did not experience any consequences to his actions as he is in a position of power over the worker.
27	high	The worker was most likely very intimidated and did what the manager said. Subsequently he most likely talked about the manager behind his back to other employees.
28	low	Probably nothing happened as a consequence, except that the worker getting yelled at thought the manager was annoying
29	low	The worker would have been really upset. They would feel like all the time and effort they put into the project was being unappreciated.
30	low	This manager should not be in charge of people! This kind of behavior is unacceptable and no way to approach it. I would NICELY go talk to this worker and make sure there were no issues as to why he isn’t meeting the deadline
31	high	The worker was probably scared and felt pressured to work faster, especially considering that the manager mentioned the leadership was upset.
32	low	The worker was likely offended. The manager should remember that it is not uncommon for people to take a quick break and return to the work re-energized.
33	low	I would think the managers reaction would make the worker upset that they were targeted specifically. I would hope the manager was told not to speak that way to employees.
34	low	The worker probably “picked up the pace”, if they valued their job
35	low	I think the employee had to take their manager’s abuse and get back to working. The employee’s work suffered as they were just put under unnecessary stress.
36	high	Probably nothing. Usually this behavior goes unchecked.
37	low	The worker probably responded by ending their break and trying to show that they are working hard. They probably don’t want to get in trouble with their manager so they did what they were told.
38	high	I think the employee either had to forgo his breaks to get the project completed on time or he may have continued taking care of himself and was fired for it.
39	high	I think the worker, in this scenario, probably responded negatively to the manager’s behavior but kept their emotions in check in order to avoid problems at work. I also think they probably then rushed back to work to finish their task, but from then on felt demotivated to put their best effort at work. I think it’s also possible that this worker, and their co-workers, will begin focusing on maintaining the appearance of being busy when this manager is around.
40	low	I’m sure the worker did pick up their pace and get it done, however, I’m very sure that they lost respect for their manager that day.
41	high	The worker probably had to cut their break short and get back to work right away.
42	low	The worker would have been shocked at the beginning. Depending on the person, they either will feel motivated so they don’t get yelled at again, or feel discouraged as they may start believing the environment isn’t welcoming or the manager doesn’t like them, causing them not to want to work on it or do a worse job on the project than what they were going to do.
43	high	I think that the worker will be extremely upset and maybe even cry because of the way that the manager treated him and he will no longer want to work there
44	low	The worker will resent the manager more and he will do less effort in the work that he has to complete to make the deadline. The worker will complete the deadline but with little effort so the manager might get anger again and the work will just brush it off like nothing happened.
45	high	I think the employee continued their work and finished the job.
46	low	The worker probably panicked, felt that they would lose their job, and started rushing through the project to get it done on time.
47	high	I think the worker probably cut short their break because they wouldn’t want to be seen as a weak link in the future.
48	low	The worker must have felt under pressure even more and was more worried about making his boss upset than finishing the task. He probably felt guilty and thought that the manager would be in trouble because of his actions.
49	low	I think he would have been angry but also scared for his job. He would hold on to the anger towards his manager in the future.
50	high	The worker like was frightened and worked even on their break. The consequence is likely the worker will try to find a new job as quickly as possible, if they haven’t already caught on and started looking.
51	low	I think the worker got upset and probably resentful of that manager.
52	low	They were probably startled and upset by it, but they probably got right to work
53	high	I believe the tension level in the office increased by 300%. I believe you get better performance out of people by guiding them not threatening them. I am sure the worker was angry stressed and less productive as a result of the reprimand and threat.
54	low	I think the worker should not bear on the reaction, It was due to the pressure the manager was facing from the older ones in the company. Things like that happens, the main resultant is how you take and get over it.
55	high	I think the employee might quit their job. They probably think it was abuse.
56	low	The worker likely felt attacked, and put on the spot. Their stress probably went through the roof. It likely induced panic, and had the person scrambling to get things done. It also probably put that person on edge for quite a while afterwards and likely has them figuratively looking over their shoulder whenever they’re at work to see if the manager is going to come over and scream at them again.
57	low	The worker probably got mad and worked at the same pace or slower.
58	high	The worker likely played the game as well as possible by standing up to the boss, but still prioritizing the work without showing too much emotional reaction. Likely, they finished their personal task before resuming their work.
59	high	I think the manager got reported to HR. Behavior like that is not tolerable and not professional in the work environment.
60	high	I think the manager did not face consequences and the workers probably just endured this behavior
62	high	Everybody would feel that they should be walking on eggshells from then on. If the manager is prone to outbursts like this, then it would make them feel uncomfortable.
63	low	The worker was likely upset but probably went back to work to complete their tasks. The worker was also probably very hurt and confided in coworkers or close friends and family about their manager’s behavior.
64	high	The worker probably felt like crap and had serious thoughts about quitting
65	high	The worker was probably upset at being targeted and yelled at but probably sucked it up because they need to keep their job
66	low	The manager probably only got talked too, but nothing extreme probably came of it. The worker was probably upset.
67	low	The manager’s reaction was wildly inappropriate. Depending on the employees role and job security, I would hope they would find some way to push back on the manager’s expectations and behavior.
68	high	I feel that the worker probably felt very threatened and perhaps nervous/scared with the way that the manager was behaving, as yelling at someone is abusive and unprofessional. The employee either had to scramble back to work quickly, sacrificing their break, or got so upset that they may have gone to upper management to complain. Yelling at an employee is unacceptable behavior, no matter the circumstances.
69	high	It probably demoralized the co-worker. I doubt it helped much
70	low	I think the work did not take too kindly to being yelled at. The worker decided to take his time to getting the project done.
71	low	The worker probably finished the project as fast as they could but lost all respect for the manager and probably will look for a new job.
72	high	I doubt anything happened as a consequence to the manager’s behavior. It seems managers can get away with basically anything so long as it’s not illegal. The worker probably felt pretty angry inside but worried about retaliation if they said anything.
73	low	I think the worker lost trust in the manager and was no longer motivated to help. The worker probably felt resentment and did not feel like they should give their best effort to the project.
74	high	The employee got back to work and stopped slacking off. The worker was probably upset.
75	high	I don’t think anything happened. There are no consequences for the manager’s behavior. Work was probably much more stressful for employees after that.
76	low	I doubt anything happened to the manager. Though I hope he apologized for the way he spoke to his employee
77	high	The worker was most likely stressed out afterward and got back to work, but not necessarily out of confidence about getting the project done and more out of fear that the boss was going to yell at them again
78	high	The worker probably continued on with what they were doing then. The worker was probably offended, but had no choice, but to get it done. The manager went on with their day.
79	low	I think that the worker probably felt shocked, and probably would also have felt some mix of sadness, anger, and embarrassment. The worker may have worked at a faster pace under the pressure, but the worker may also have lost productivity, as the heightened emotions of the situation would be difficult conditions to work under. I think that the worker probably lost trust in the manager.
80	high	I would hope that this manager would be disciplined in some way. I have had terrible managers like this, and it certainly didn’t make me want to work faster or better for them. I really can’t blame the workers reaction here, almost a passive/aggressive behavior.
81	high	The workers will be on their feet and be trying to do their best so as not to get reprimanded by the manager
82	high	The worker was scared and afraid of the consequences. So they worked faster and maybe made more mistakes. It was not a conducive environment for the worker and instilled bad traits more than anything else.
83	high	The worker was shocked, embarrassed and angered. He raised his voice to the manager in response.
84	low	The employee probably lost respect for the manager. He should have simply stated “Hey we don’t really have time to slack on our work. This deadline is quickly approaching.”
85	high	I think the worker promptly got back to work. I imagine the worker was embarrassed and upset, but quickly got back to the task at hand.
86	low	The worker was most likely upset and even more stressed. They may have tried to work harder but sometimes when there is that much stress and pressure on a person they are likely to make mistakes.
87	low	I imagine the worker was a little shook by it. The workers mood was probably affected for sure. He may have got him to work faster but that could be something that hurts them in the long run.
88	high	The worker would not be happy to be treated like this but would have fear and be motivated to get back to work and do a good job
89	low	I think that there were some sort of disciplinary action taking place.
90	low	The worker was probably embarrassed and lost trust in their manager to not do it again. They may feel resentment toward the manager and feel uncomfortable in the workplace after this.
91	high	I think the worker will be very upset by the situation and feel the manager has no right to speak to the worker like that. The worker might file a complaint against the manager.
92	low	I think it is likely the worker was offended. Unfortunately I assume the employee did comply however I imagine they kept this reaction in mind from the manager.
93	high	If the employee reported the manager, I would think the manager would hopefully be in trouble. Yes, deadlines are important, but so is the mental health of the employees. I think the worker would feel very down and upset about how they were treated.
94	low	I believe the worker responding by acting accordingly and resumed working on the deadline. I think the manager’s behavior helped motivate the worker.
95	high	I feel like the worker got upset as well. I think the workers would be as on edge as the managers in this situation, and this event probably let to them getting into a loud argument. Maybe he quit the next day or got fired.
96	high	I don’t think there was any consequence to the manager. As the worker, I would be scared and afraid to work under a manager like that. I would be stressed out and would think that there was a chance I could lose my job everyday.
97	high	Unfortunately, due to the type of workplace environment described I don’t think that the manager will face negative consequences. I think it would just be another day so to speak.
98	low	I imagine that the worker went back to work immediately after forgoing his lunch. He probably was upset that he couldn’t eat, and wondered why he wasn’t given any help to get this job done.
99	low	The consequence from the manager could have been a written or verbal warning. The worker is probably frustrated for being singled out.
100	high	I imagine, since it’s a competitive workforce that the worker went back to work. He was probably very unhappy about it, but he went back to work.
101	high	He probably felt horrible, went back to work and completed the job on time but was very rushed and the work probably was low quality as a result. He may have also reported the manager depending on the work place.
102	low	The worker that got targeted by the manager worked harder because this person did not want to disappoint their team and manager.
103	low	The worker wasn’t very happy with the manager’s behavior. The manager’s unruly behavior likely decreased morale of all the other workers as well, thereby decreasing the positive and supportive environment as a whole.
104	high	The employee probably help scared and threatened and hastily completed the project. But I would imagine the manager also lost the employees respect and is going to have problems with the employee at a later date.
105	high	I feel the worker was angered at the manager, I know I would be. I would probably take the issue up with HR if possible.
106	high	The worker probably got scared and picked up the pace. I doubt there was any consequence to the managers behavior sadly.
107	high	The worker decided to work a little harder, but with obvious disrespect to the manager. The worker would continue their lazy behavior as soon as possible.
108	high	I think there was no consequence since the space is so competitive.
109	high	I think the worker probably felt unhappy and panicked, and their work may have suffered as a result.
110	high	If this type of interaction was common in this workplace, i imagine the employee begrudgingly continued working immediately. I can’t imagine the employee did their best or gave full effort to the project, but simply didn’t want to get yelled at anymore.
111	low	they were likely terrified of losing their job, so they completed the task. but it must have stirred up feelings of resentment to the manager, and that person probably left the company shortly thereafter.
112	low	The manager probably got reprimanded to some degree. I would imagine. They probably transfer the employee off of the managers team too, if I had to guess
113	low	I am sure the worker was upset by this happening. Even if there wasn’t an immediate confidence, it likely eroded trust on both sides—for manager and worker. Not supportive and didn’t take what the worker’s situation could’ve been. Maybe it was the first break in 5 hours. Maybe it was the 10th—but without asking, there’s no way to know.
114	high	I would say nothing. Issuing a warning of termination, write ups, some type of performance improvement plan is generally legal in a work place. That said, the delivery was hostile and and excessive shouting is something that cant happen on a regular basis without some form of consequences
115	high	I think this would be very upsetting for the worker. If I was that worker, I’d be looking for a new job.
116	high	The worker would have stepped up the pace for fear of removal.
117	low	As a consequence more then likely that employee was scared to not work as hard as he could. But it probably wasn’t his best. Good chance that employee probably quit. I am sure that manager was disciplined for his behavior, and may have been fired or demoted.
118	high	I may have been spoken to. Perhaps even asked to apologize.
119	low	I think that it made everyone take the project very seriously. The worker was probably angry back, but also did the work because they didn’t want to get into anymore trouble.
120	high	The worker felt very pressured and stressed. The worker probably made mistakes during the stress. Worker is trying very hard so that the manager does not yell again.
121	high	The worker was probably frustrated, but he knew he had to work hard. If he got the assignment done, the manager would be happy. If he did not, the manager might yell at him again.
122	high	I am sure the worker went to HR and filed an employee concerns case to ensure that they are under protected status to prevent the employer from taking retributive actions against them.
123	low	The worker probably hurried back to work. I imagine they then picked up the pace to do a better job.
124	low	I would offer support to the employee and talk about the things they need to suceed
125	high	I think the employee would not like their manager at all after this and not care as much about the work they do.
126	low	The worker most likely felt compelled to work at a faster rate albeit at the expense of his approval of his manager.
127	low	he would probably get scolded for doing that. he would be disciplined for that. he would also probably be put on probation.
128	low	The worker was probably caused a lot of stress and anxiety and generally traumatized by the incident.
129	low	I think the manager got the result they wanted, but they likely caused some hostility with that employee, the environment probably doesn’t feel as safe since that feedback was something that could have been shared privately.
130	high	I think the worker likely got up and got to work. I’m sure that is a typical situation although it doesn’t seem to me to be the best way to handle that at all.
131	high	In the context of this organization, I do not think anyone other than perhaps the worker taking a break suffered any consequences. I think the worker likely cut their break short and went back to work.
132	low	I believe the worker was very upset and not appreciated for their work they had all ready done. THe worker probably felt upset and not happy, and probably did not work hard to finish the project.
133	low	the worker probably talked to the manager since he could see that he was under a lot of pressure
134	high	The worker felt demotivated and anxious , leading to decreased productivity. The manager’s harsh approach likely fostered resentment, harming team morale and trust.
135	high	he would be penalized if he does not meet up the deadlibe given
137	high	Well, there could be one of two things that happened. Either the manager’s threat worked and the worker got back to his job out of fear of consequences, or the worker had more of a “screw you” reaction and risked whatever consequences could occur. No worker deserves to be spoken to by a manager in such a manner.
138	high	The worker was probably flustered, which could have led to worsened quality in their work. It is very likely that the consequences resulted in the firing of the employee or a formal complaint against them. Furthermore, the manager could have experienced the same consequences. Everyone involved was stressed, which is not helpful behavior.
139	low	The worker will likely stop slacking and get the job he has been asked to do done before the deadline
140	low	I know without a doubt that the worker felt like he couldn’t open up to/trust their manager anymore. The employee most likely felt closed off and isolated from both the team and the manager.
141	low	I think the worker would have felt belittled. They would have made a complaint
142	low	The worker would be upset and concerned at this behavior. They should go to HR and report this incident.
143	high	I think the manager wpuld need to focus more on what he should do to help solve the issue.
144	low	I think the manager was probably reprimanded and told to speak kinder and address employee issues one on one.
145	high	I think the worker stopped his break and worked harder. The manager should be reprimanded for that behavior, but given the culture in that company I think it’s expected and the norm.
146	low	I hope and think that the manager would either be fired or reprimanded for their actions. And the employee given some sort of explanation, apology and reimbursement
147	low	The worker would likely be upset being yelled at by the manager and would have difficult time focusing on work.
148	low	Possibly quitting. Being yelled at in the face at work is not something people react positive to in this day and age.
149	high	The worker was probably afraid to be so suddenly target by the manager. They probably ended their break abruptly and went back to work to get things done by the imminent deadline.
150	low	It depends on if he was reported or not. If reported, I think he would be made to apoligize to the worker who yelled at and be made to take an anger management in the workplace training.
151	high	the worker needed to work faster and get it all done, there was no issues. the worker worked harder and faster.
152	high	The worker finished their legally required 30 minute uninterrupted break, over which the manager has absolutely no say; if the manager attempts to cut the worker’s break, the manager can be legally held accountable, and can be immediately terminated.
153	high	If his behavior was reported by the worker, it is likely the manager may have to attend anger management courses. I would image the worker has PTSD from such an unprofessional moment in the workplace.
154	high	The worker likely felt embarrassed and stressed, working faster out of fear but with lower quality. Over time, they might lose trust in the manager or consider leaving.
155	low	The worker became flustered and upset. The worker’s performance probably was worse because of his feelings and not being appreciated.
156	high	I think that a manager acting like this will receive much worse quality of work than one that is caring and understanding. I know that if my manager did this I would not want to be a good employee.
157	high	I think the worker was less motivated to get the task done.
158	low	The manager was wrong to “take it out” on the worker. The worker no doubt was shocked that they were being blamed for something that wasn’t all of their doing.
159	high	I believe that it was only reinforced in the employee’s mind that he is not good enough for this environment. I think as a result of this, his humanity towards himself and others was slightly chipped away.
160	high	The worker probably was upset and decided to put his anger to action by working better.
161	low	Getting loud with an employee like that runs the risk of building resentment, especially if the team was otherwise very cooperative and supportive of each other. Such behavior could even result in the employees locking ranks against the manager and holding a grudge. At least, if I were in that workplace I would prefer to join forces against an adversarial manager.
162	low	The worker was probably yelled at and threatened to be fired. The worker was stressed, angry, and humiliated.
163	low	I suspect the worker would have been upset but also motivated to finish the project. After completing the project the worker would probably consider looking for a better place to work.
164	low	I think the consequences was hurting the trust and safety that the client felt.
165	high	I would quit the job. I am not dealing with this type of thing ever in my life no matter what.
166	high	I think the worker was angry about being yelled at but went back to work and rushed to get the workload finished out of fear.
167	high	The worker probably was upset and didn’t want to be extra productive and felt singled out
168	low	I would assume that the manager would be reprimanded by their superior. I don’t think that the worker would respond positively to that kind of communication.
169	low	the consequences of the manager might somewhat be a form of backlash, have the worker do more works under pressure. this would leave the worker frightened.
170	high	I would imagine the worker was upset, and would bring up the incident to leadership or human resources. Law requires employees to take breaks, and we don’t know what is happening in the worker’s personal life. Its really out of line to shout at anybody for this kind of thing.
171	low	I think it could go both ways they could either work more quickly or try to find a new job since the manager yelled at them instead of calmly speaking.
172	low	I think the worker felt humiliated and upset that he was targeted. His work most likely took a downward turn because of this.
173	low	This person would likely not trust the manager in the future to allow them to manage their own time. There is also likely a breakdown of respect.
174	low	Even though the manager was under pressure, it is very wrong to come at a worker with rudeness because that goes against the ethics of work , i understand he wanted to deliver but it was wrong to reprimand the worker and i believe it would bring a lot of tension between them which is not nice and definitely the work will be affected greatly
175	high	The worker was most likely under a lot of stress, was probably tense, and followed the orders fast. It could’ve lead the worker to produce more mistakes being rushed.
176	low	I think the worker went back to work and resented the boss.
177	low	The worker must have been stressed by the manager’s threats and inappropriate behavior. They may have completed the work in the short-term to appease the manager, but they are already considering finding other employment for a company with leadership that does not treat their employees so poorly.
178	low	The worker felt embarrassed and discouraged. Their morale and productivity suffered, as did the relationship with their supervisor.
179	low	Manager should be warned by their supervisor as threats don’t motivate others. Try to help rather than find fault
180	high	I have a feeling nothing happened to the manager. I would expect the workers reaction to be one of shock and then anger.
181	low	I think the worker was probably very upset and feels resentment for being shouted at and the work suffered as a result.
182	low	He probably increased his pace and did the work quickly
183	high	The worker most likely began to resent the manager. It creates a stressful work environment and causes people to quit.
184	high	The worker probably had no other choice than to do as the manager told them to do. Most employees are powerless in situations where the manager exerts their power and authority over them.
185	low	If an employee felt they were under quite a bit of pressure from their manger and that manger yelled at them, it very well may have a negative affect on that employee, by possibly walking off the job, or becoming despondent.
186	high	I think the worker was likely frightened by the manager’s yelling. They may have been more motivated to get the project done and gotten it done, but they may also begin to question whether they should quit their job.
187	high	I think the worker was intimidated by the manager’s threats that they worked faster. I feel like the intimidation worked for the manager.
188	low	The worker probably either said they could only go as fast as they can and needed a break to clear their mind a bit, or if they were caught on a really bad day, they just walked away from the job because you don’t talk to your workers like that.
189	low	Either the worker didn’t try harder at all out of spite which led to the manager getting more frustrated and angry or he did work harder but disliked his manager even more.
190	low	I think the worker was probably very surprised by the manager’s behavior, as this does not fit the vision of a supportive, comfortable environment that was described to us earlier. I think the worker would have been very hurt by it, but would have worked hard to get the job done faster.
191	low	I’m sure the worker complained to someone about the manager to his teammates. I don’t think the managers behavior had any negative impact on himself other than the worker having disdain towards the manager. The worker probably went back to work, but was less than enthusiastic about doing his job.
192	low	I imagine that the manager lost respect in the eyes of the other workers.
193	low	He got demoted and does not have any managerial duties anymore
194	low	nothing because the manager did nothing wrong. was just saying if something dont change it will change.
195	high	I feel the worker most likely lost motivation to perform their work. Workers are entitled to breaks, and I doubt the worker felt it was fair to be yelled at simply for taking a break. The worker probably did not respond directly to the manager’s outburst, but I do expect that the worker will put forth minimal effort from now on because they will have no desire to please a manager like that.
196	high	I’m sure the worker felt belittled being treated that way. Everyone needs a break, even on a hard deadline (maybe even moreso!) I am not sure what the consequence was for the manager, but hopefully he was reprimanded and maybe put on probation of some sort, as well as giving the worker an apology for his behavior.
197	high	I would feel threatened and also scared for my job stability. This is not a good encounter with the manager.
198	low	the worker likely felt demotivated, frustrated and possibly fearful after been shouted at
199	low	Judging from the previous response, this sounds out of alignment with the general atmosphere of this workplace. I feel like the employee may feel surprise and upset by this interaction.
200	low	The employee most likely got disengaged, avoiding speaking up or taking initiative for fear of future criticism. Their productivity and morale are likely to have dropped over time as they distrusted the manager’s intentions and withdrew from team collaboration in order to reduce risk. This caused a domino effect, suffocating innovation and opnness throughout the team
201	low	I think they got called in and had a discussion about what action to take.
202	low	If I was the worker in this situation, I would be apologetic and try to work faster. I may decide to steer clear of this particular manager in future, if possible.
203	low	I would hope that this manager was fired for yelling, along with other things. If not fired he should be demoted because his attitude is not one that should manage a team.
204	high	I feel he was probably yelled at from his boss and that is why he took it out on me. I would try to be understanding however, this would make me very upset.
205	low	I doubt the manager faced any consequences for such behavior. A lot of times this type of behavior is normalized, unfortunately.
206	low	I would think the worker would be extremely upset. I also suspect this would in turn cause a decrease in overall work product and end result of the quality of work in the future.
207	high	I imagine the worker probably returned to work and tried to complete whatever task had been assigned but this certainly decreased their respect towards the manager. The worker would probably hold a grudge and be much less willing to do what the manager says.
208	high	It depends on what kind of person they are. If someone yelled at me like that I would quit my job and tell the manager to kiss my ass
209	high	I would think the worker would go back to the project because he/she would be afraid the manager would assign the project to someone else.
210	high	Nothing will happen to the shithead manager. He will probably get rewarded. The worker will probably later quit or be fired.
211	low	I imagine the worker was not very happy about it. I’d like to think there would be negative consequences for the managers outburst.
212	high	If I was the worker I would report the managers behavior to the HR department so the manager would receive consequences hopefully for acting unprofessional in the workplace. A manager does not get to shout in the face of an employee just because they are mad. A consequence to the manager probably was nothing more than just a meeting with HR where they most likely told him not to do it again or he could be suspended.
213	low	I believe that the worker felt uncomfortable and disrespected by the manager and was maybe reported.
214	high	i feel that the worker probably went back to work and didnt take anymore breaks for fear of the conquences
215	low	I think the worker probably did the opposite of what the manager wanted. How you speak to an employee will decide if the employee will do the job that a manger expects.
216	high	Likely flustered and embarrassed. Probably attempted to accomplish more immediately following and suffered undue stress.
217	low	The worker was probably intimidated and felt disrespected by the manager by yelling at him in front of his co-workers.
218	low	The worker’s reaction would probably be they would be stressed out from that response. They would probably be nervous too if they couldn’t complete that project by the deadline
219	high	I think the worker probably got the job done very quickly, but there will some lasting resentment towards the manager from the worker for the foreseeable future which I believe to be a net negative.
220	low	The managers behavior doesn’t foster the same sense of encouragement and teamwork described in the company culture. I think the employee was probably discouraged by the managers behavior and morale probably went down at the workplace.
221	low	I think the worker was probably very upset, and did not work any faster. Yelling at people does not help anything.
222	low	the worker likely felt humilliated and resentful maybe they froze up or nodded silently just to end the confrotation but inside their motivation probably dropped even if they rushed to finish the project their trust in the manager would be dammaged longterm they might start avoiding taking breaks even when needed or secretly look for other jobs because fear doesn’t build loyalty it just breeds stress and disconnection
223	high	It would most likely be a deduction in bonus or a missed chance for promotion.
224	high	Hopefully the employee reported it to HR. That kind of behavior from management it is disgusting and childish.
225	high	Either the worker was intimidated and went back to work, or possibly stood up to the manager. I wouldn’t tolerate that. External motivation of this nature just is not necessary.
226	high	The worker who was targeted by the manager will become furious and be shocked with his reactions
227	high	Most likely, there were no consequences to the manager directly. The worker most likely felt the pressure from the manager and probably began to work on the project again, however, under more pressure, thus potentially lowering the quality of work. I imagine the situation was not a comfortable one to be in for the worker.
228	high	I think most peoples barks are worse than the bites. If the worker was able to complete the project by deadline and it was solid work there wouldn’t be an actual consequence.
229	low	I think that this manager got reprimanded and punished in some sort of way, got a warning.
230	high	I imagine they picked up the pace as demanded, but they probably felt defeated. I’d hope they went home that evening to re-evaluate their place of employment.
231	low	I imagine the worker was caught off guard and felt annoyed the manager was being so rude. I think the employee probably would have began to work harder but they felt some anger at the manager.
232	low	I think the worker heard what the manager was saying and started working at a faster pace, sometimes as a manager you have to get on employees who you feel arent working as well as they should be. Its your job as a manager to make sure everyone is in line. This worker needed to hear that, maybe not the shouting but in a more calmly nicer way. Overall i hope the worker stopped messing around and got the job done.
233	high	The worker was upset by the actions of the manager.
234	high	Unfortunately I think maybe nothing happened to the manger. He might have been called into HR as a formality but if the environment is bad and if he did that in the first place he probably feels there would be no consequence. I think the employee would be upset, angry and defensive. They would not be motivated to produce quality work.
235	low	the worker probably got really upset. maybe they argued. I think he’d probably buckle down and work harder though, since no one wants to get fired in this economy.
236	low	Depending on the attitude of the coworker either went and did the project immediately or he went to HR and complained about the way he was treated. It’s never OK to yell at someone in a work setting.
237	low	After that happened, the worker resented the manager but gave him the benefit of the doubt, and hypothesized that the manager acted that way due to stress.
238	high	The worker would be mad, but I doubt there was anything they could do. If the whole company is the same way this behavior is probably somewhat normalized.
239	high	In the described business, most likely nothing. As I expect that to be pretty common behavior in such work environment. At worst, the manager who yelled would get spoken to and requested to not yell at the lower employees.
240	low	As the worker I would have been upset and embarrassed. I probably would go straight to HR to put in a formal complaint about the manager. I was threatened to pick up the pace while I was on a break. Extremely unprofessional and an uncomfortable environment.
241	low	The worker was probably surprised at the reaction. He wasn’t given an opportunity to express his opinion and was probably disciplined
242	low	I would imagine the worker was upset, because management shouting at employees in front of others is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. If I were the worker, I would see this as a red flag that this was not a professional work environment. Even if this worker was not supposed to be on break or falling behind in their work, there are much more professional ways of handling that which this manager did not utilize.
243	high	I don’t think there was much of a consequence for the manager’s behavior unless they were reported to HR. The consequence towards the employee, though, is that they probably felt even more overwhelmed and stressed out especially if they’re getting yelled at in front of everyone.
244	high	The worker was probably upset and possibly scared. The worker likely got back to work and tried to focus on the task, but ultimately they realized this work environment was toxic and left the job.
245	low	I can imagine they felt unfairly targeted, especially if they were working as a team. They were probably pretty upset.
246	low	He probably shut down and just took it but is probably looking for another job.
247	low	In this workplace the employee would have been very upset. This is probably not what they are used to, but perhaps they would understand that the manager was under pressure from above and talk to them about this incident further. They would wait, however, push through and get the job done as quickly as they could.
248	high	The worker was probably stressed out or felt really bad about themselves. I don’t think it would be that effective, they may get back to work but the morale and motivation of the worker will suffer, making them likely to burn out sooner and quit.
249	high	I think the worker had a valid reason regarding the manager’s behavior. I think the manager should be terminated due to misconduct.
250	low	I think the manager having an aggressive behavior toward the worker had a negative effect on the workers performance. I think the worker would not work any different due to the aggressive nature of the manager’s behavior. I think a more supportive and caring approach would have been a better option in this situation.
251	high	They probably got back to work and completed the task as quickly as possible. They surpressed their reaction to the hostility as we all have to do to keep our jobs, sometimes.
252	high	I don’t think something would happen to this manager. They obviously act like this way because they get away with it without repercussions
253	low	I’m sure that the worker stepped up their work in fear of losing their job. this kind of “incentive” to work usually backfires as the employee, in trying to get the job done faster is more prone to making mistakes.
254	low	He was hurt by the outburst and could not stop thinking about it so I am sure that his work suffered as a result.
255	high	I think the manager likely gave him worse work as a consequence. The worker likely had their mood affected in a negative way, and may have possibly even performed worse at their job because of it.
256	high	I’m sure the worker was shocked, and honestly probably upset by this. While there are times to be doing some hard work, there are some times where you can take it easy, also. The manager probably felt bad about it after, too. Sometimes people go through hardships and take it out on others.. doesn’t make it okay though.
257	high	The worker would have been very stressed and anxious, and probably pretty angry too! But they probably worked much harder to get things done because they were worried about their job.
258	high	I find it likely the employee was upset by the managers actions. I think this would cause the manager of get the opposite of what he wanted, As the employee probably had no desire to perform well after the incident.
259	high	the worker probably reluctantly got back to work and tried to finish work as quickly as he can
260	low	the worker probably carried his head a little lower and then the following day probably quit and told the manager that he won’t be disrespected and he will not recommend anyone to work for this company.
261	high	The worker would be very surprised at first, but later on to continue the job they need breaks. Also, the worker would just say that ok, then execute the consequences you mentioning.
262	low	I think the employee worked harder but was also upset about getting yelled at by his supervisor.
263	high	In this environment, the worker probably ended his break and went right back to doing the work the manager wanted him to work on.
264	high	Nothing, all the worker could do was to simply follow the manger’s order. Given the toxic workplace there, the manager would not be disciplined. Instead, upper management would most likely agree with the manager’s action.
265	low	That manager didn’t handle that correctly. Don’t yell at someone in front of others. Take them aside and quietly use language that will evoke fear in them. That way when the worker lashes out, they are the one who looks unreasonable.
266	high	The worker probably felt pretty stressed because of the manager’s reaction, but they also might have been somewhat used to these types of outbursts due to the hostile work environment. It likely shook him for a few minutes before he got back to work.
267	low	I think the worker did the work begrudgingly and soured his own feelings about the workplace.
268	high	I think the worker would have lashed out at the manager for his behavior and possible gotten fired.
269	low	The worker may or may not have cut their break short and worked at a more intense pace. I think their overall morale was probably negatively affected by the interaction.
270	low	i think the manager may have got spoken to by HR if the incident was reported. I believe the worker had harbor resentment and anger towards them for embarrassing them in public and making then look incompetent in front of work colleagues.
271	low	He should find out who his supervisor boss and report him. He could go to HR if there is one. He should do it not just for himself but for the other workers too. I’m sure he if he was treated that way others were too
272	low	I think the worker didn’t trust the manager and was more cautious in the future.
273	high	I imagine that the worker was upset and scared of losing his job. The worker probably said that he was sorry and he felt bad about it.
274	high	The worker was likely extremely upset and was not in a good head space to complete the task because they were hurt.
275	low	If an office environment is collaborative and everyone looks out for each other, this shouldn’t happen. There would be swift consequences for such bad behavior from a manager. The worker would feel terrible and hopefully be able to report the incident to HR.
276	low	I think the worker probably reacted negatively to this interaction. I imagine they would have become unhappy with the situation and provided less than their best effort while completing the task.
277	low	There would be no consequence of the manager’s behavior because he is a manager. The most he would do is apologize.
278	low	The worker most likely lost some respect for his manager, as that’s not a socially acceptable behavior for a leader.
279	high	I think that it was upsetting to the worker. They probably needed to take even more time to calm down from the episode and then they probably were not as motivated to help the supervisor that just shouted at them. Perhaps they even started a job search.
280	high	he got yelled at for taking a break. there is a deadline and the manger saw the worker taking a break and didn’t like it.
281	high	He probably got nothing bad happened to him. The worker was probably upset.
282	high	The manager could have received a demotion in position.
283	high	The manager is under a lot of pressure. Sometimes it will have a person act of character.
284	high	The worker just kept on working and didn’t even stop to use the restroom. The worker just kept on working until the project was complete.
285	low	He will want less to go above and beyond. Loyalty definitely fades after such encounters
286	low	I think the worker was probably upset but the manager did not have any repercussions for the behavior.
287	low	This form of management typically does not work well and breeds resentment and lower work performance.
288	high	I think there were no consequences the the manager’s behavior. I think that worker who was targeted would develope a very bad attitude and a strong dislike for the manager.
289	high	hopefully manager was reprimanded, and the employee for now just went back to work
290	high	Considering the environment of the office, probably nothing.
291	low	I would imagine that unless there is a large salary or other reason, the employee would start looking for another job. The manager is very unprofessional and may be the cause of the problems he hopes to solve with such responses.
292	high	The worker probably got the work done that was told to him
293	low	This is abuse. Every upsetting and not okay. This is hostile work environment.
294	low	I think the worker probably became upset from the manager’s behavior; it never feels good to be yelled at and belittled by someone. I bet they felt even more pressure to get the project done and less enthusiastic about doing the work. They already felt like they were under immense pressure anyway, so I can imagine that the manager yelling at them just added another layer of stress to it. If the project got done faster, I bet it was not done any better. If anything, it would’ve been rushed and the end product would be less good.
295	high	Fired immediately, as a manager you have far more to lose
296	low	The worker probably got upset and it made them feel like not working as hard anymore. They probably either quit or gave less effort in their work in order to complete it faster.
297	high	I suspect the worker felt pretty bad about his work environment and maybe even contemplated being vengeful or contemplated circumventing his managers authority by undermining him. there’s also a possibility of a flighty response where the worker decided to pick up their pace in an effort to avoid future, negative interactions from their manager.
298	high	I bet nothing happened to the manager who shouted at other workers.
299	low	The worker was demoralized, and wanted to leave the situation immediately. The speed of work might have increased but the quality likely went down.
300	high	The worker either tried harder or said screw it. They could have just quit and said the money isn’t worth this crap.
301	high	I think the manager is threating him with loosing his job, but I guess I’m a different kind of worker. If my manager yelled at me we would be having a standoff, and I would most likely be finding another job.
302	low	I believe the worker lost trust in their supervisor. Having a big deadline is one thing, but to keep a worker from taking a break just because there is a deadline does not allow the worker to reset or do what may be needed to provide a better product.
303	low	The worker likely felt an immense amount of pressure, plus a sense of unfairness that their manager wanted them to work without breaks.
304	low	I’d imagine the worker became more frazzled by being demeaned by their manager and perhaps less motivated to complete the work.
305	low	i cant say persay but i love to believe in the saying that what goes around comes around
306	high	The consequences were maybe getting talked to about their job or getting fired
308	low	The manager’s reaction lowered morale for anybody that saw it. The employee being yelled at may have deserved it but that was not the correct way for the manager to handle it.
309	high	It sounds like not much didn’t happen, but the worker was in fear.
310	high	In an environment like this, I think the worker is not “used to” this kind of behavior from management, but in some ways “expects” it(harsh treatment, demanding). I think that the worker ended up working even harder and picking up the pace- I think the worker got back to work and tried to meet the deadline and show extra effort.
311	high	I’m pretty sure that the worker was very upset to be talked down to. The manager should have been reprimanded for their behavior.
312	low	The worker probably got the task done, but they were under a lot more stress than they would typically be. There’s probably a lot of resentment for this manager now.
313	high	I believe the worker would be upset and extraordinarily pressured into completing the assignment, also scared to take any more breaks. I believe in that environment the manager would not face any consequences.
314	low	The worker did not take the response well and probably felt disrespected. The manager response probably hurt work moral and put more pressure on the employee to perform as well. The manager probably got reported for his actions to HR because the manager was definitely out of line.
315	high	I believe that the worker was very demotivated by the encounter. While they may have been worried in the moment about losing their job and picked up the pace, I believe when they went home they likely started updating their resume and thought about finding a better place to work.
316	high	he sped up and focused on his work basically its best to split work from emotion
317	low	The worker probably felt shamed and upset. They may have gotten the work done faster but it likely made them unhappy and distrustful of the manager in the future.
318	low	I’m sure he felt guity, upset, confused and resentful. He is allowed breaks and he might would feel like back talking to him in a unprofessional manner.
319	high	I think the manager’s behavior was called out and reported, hopefully. It also probably placed many other workers present in a stressful mind frame as a result.
320	low	the worker will be angry but he will put more effort towards the project
321	low	The worker likely felt very upset at being rushed when they were just taking a break after having to shoulder this responsibility on their own. The worker may have shouted back.
322	low	The worker likely became annoyed and agitated at the manager. Loyalty to the manager and the “next time” for when they need to worker to surge will likely be minimal.
323	high	I think the worker probably felt poorly about themselves and were less productive.
324	low	I think he was likely enabled by his leadership team so nothing happened. The worker was taken by surprised and likely felt humiliated and belittled.
325	high	I think the manager’s behavior likely made the worker feel very bad and also work faster.
326	low	Often times in cases like these, the worker simply grits their teeth and gets the work done as fast as they can, probably sacrificing a lot of quality in the work. There is always a breaking point where the worker will have to weigh their own options, whether it’s engaging in a heated argument with their manager or quitting their job.
327	high	Very unprofessional to allow stressful work situations to get to the point you mistreat other employees. Any employee seeing this will have a poor reaction and likely start looking for other work.
328	low	I suppose what happened is the worker went back to completing the task and perhaps worked a bit faster. But I think the worker internally might lose respect for the manager; the wording suggests the manager acted rudely, and maybe they did, but assuming that was the case, then the worker’s image of the manager was probably made worse.
329	low	DON’T REACT TO YOUR BOSS’S ANGER , ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO WHEN YOUR BOSS GETE ENRAGED IS NOT RESPOND. DO NOT REACT, ESPECIALLY IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE ALSO ANGRY. DISPLAYING ANGER BACK MAY LEAD TO YOUR BOSS RAISING THEIR VOICE OR EVEN REPORTING YOU DEPOSITE STARTING THE CONFLICT.
330	high	The worker will report him. The work won’t be done very efficiently.
331	low	Was the break mandated? If the worker had a right to the break, the worker should not feel threatened. Perhaps the manager needs to recognize worker’s rights. I think either way the worker would feel threatened and would be upset.
332	low	I think he or she was surprised by the manager’s reaction, and probably got frightened about the possibility of getting penalized or fired. He or she might be less appreciative of the company in general after that.
333	low	The worker would be reluctant to finish his task. The worker would also resent the manager and lose trust in the manager.
334	low	That manager was probably reported for his behavior. It was unnecessary and it sounds like there are guidelines in place for that kind of situation.
335	high	After I was yelled at, my enthusiasm for getting the work done was plummeted. Are the consequences of me not finishing termination?
336	low	i feel that the manager was counselled on workplace behavior. the worker probably started crying or angrily told the manager he was on a break which he was entitled to by law
337	low	I imagine that worker probably got startled and now feels rushed to get work done. Maybe they would make mistakes from rushing to put out work which would look bad on the manager so I imagine the worker would be under a lot of pressure.
338	low	The coworker likely had a very negative reaction to that behavior which is very justified for abusive behavior like that. Only the manager should have been punished.
339	high	I think there would be a dip in morale and distance with the employee. stress my affect their performance and cause unnecessary accidents.
340	low	The worker felt demoralized and stressed resulting in decrease motivation and engagement. They have lost respect for the manager and started viewing workplace as hostile environment potentially affecting their performance and willingness to collaborate.
341	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager because of it and I think the worker probably did as he/she was told.
342	high	The work probably became incredibly stressed, self conscious, and anxious. They were out under a lot of pressure and may have an even more difficult time completing their task.
343	high	I believe the worker would pick up the pace.The worker needs the job.
344	high	The worker was probably in fear for his job at that point. In the short term, her probably dropped what he was doing and went back to work. In the longer term though, he probably started looking for another job if he wasn’t already. I know I would.
345	high	Probably HR or a warning I hope the worker explained that his break was needed
346	low	I imagine that the worker was shocked by the manager’s outburst, but I also assume the worker sprung into action.
347	low	the worker may have picked up the pace out of fear but probably lost respect for the manager after that episode.
348	low	I’m sure the worker was taken aback at the situation, and was probably very upset. Being yelled at isn’t going to make any work go faster. In addition, being yelled at would just make the person more less motivated to even get it done. Breaks are imperative for work and in general. Being yelled at by the manager would decrease the worker’s positive views of working for the company.
349	low	I think that the manager was subject to social isolation within the group due to his behavior. I don’t think that there was any kind of formal punishment other than that.
350	high	The worker would be stressed and anxious, and the manager would likely be fired, if I was in charge. I would allow the worker the rest of the day off, paid, and immediately look for a replacement for the manager.
351	high	The worker probably took their time the rest of the day and started prepping their resume to look for another job. No one wants to work for jerks or assholes no matter how important the deadline is. The manager should have taken a more active role into expediting the work in order to meet deadline.
352	high	Based on the work environment I think the worker would possibly become insubordinate and demand a pay increase as leverage to get the project done on time. I think the worker would be looking out for their own self interest so would maybe use the big deadline to their advantage to benefit.
353	low	The worker was probably not disciplined at the time because the manager still needed the work done but I wouldn’t be surprised if the worker was let go or demoted afterwards.
354	high	I believe the employee attempted to increase their performance. But their morale will definitely suffer and if this continues it will eventually breed a toxic and unmotivated attitude. This employee will eventually switch to only doing their job and doing just enough to not get in trouble until that is unsustainable, possibly eventually leading to getting fired for attitude and performance or quitting because they cannot take it anymore.
355	high	The manager could be reprimanded by HR because overtly emotional behavior in the workplace is unacceptable and unprofessional. That display would also undermine his authority among the workers.
356	low	I think the worker was probably even less motivated than before to help meet the deadline. Nobody likes to be yelled at, and everyone needs and deserves to take a break now and then.
357	high	I would assume the worker who was targeted by the manager retaliated in some form of way, either by contacting HR for harassment/threats or lazily did the remainder of their work. The worker’s reaction would probably was a bit of confusion and then anger over the situation that they may not have directly caused.
358	high	The worker becaamr frustrated and might have left or reported it to higher up’s.
359	low	I would hope the manager was corrected. His outburst seems inappropriate, and perhaps he can not handle the pressure of his title.
360	low	I think the worker probably started looking for a new job. Most people aren’t willing to put up with that sort of behavior.
361	high	The worker would be very upset and would probably quit. No one deserves to be treated and yelled at that way, especially whem the work had not done anything wrong. I would hope the employees would report this manager for bad behavior.
362	high	Shock, and the desire to keep their job. I think they would also be upset, maybe upset enough to go to hr.
363	low	I am unhappy with the manager’s response by yelling. Yelling does not to solve the situation.
364	high	I think the worker was intimidated but they ended up doing what the manager wanted.
365	high	I believe that the worker will be hurt and shocked at the manager’s behavior and most likely they will report the manager’s behavior as a form of grievance.
366	high	In this kind of environment it surely eroded even more trust for the worker.
367	high	This worker could easily face depression or burn-out. If this job is crucial to his way of living, that would be a nightmare for him / her
368	low	I would feel attacked, i deserve my break and we could have a private conversation when I’m done.
369	low	I would say that the worker had a lot of pressure and had to get done with the project done super fast, otherwise, that person might get fired.
370	high	It could have gone several ways. Either the employee was fearful of losing their job and got right on it and tried to get the project done as fast as possible; or, they got an attitude and figured they just didn’t care any more because nothing they seemed to do made any difference and they just did the bare minimum.
371	high	The worker probably give them the minimum effort on the product because they were upset about being yelled out. they are grown adults, they shouldn’t be yelled at because the manager is stressed out.
372	high	The worker probably got to work in the moment, but then told other employees, gossiped, or even complained to the higher ups or quit.
373	high	The worker probably stopped their break and tried to work quickly on the task. I would imagine the worker was frustrated or nervous, and was working quickly solely to avoid punishment, rather than having intrinsic motivation.
374	low	I think the employee probably considered leaving the company. They might have been disgruntled to finish the project
375	low	being yelled at while taking a break sucks, i know because i hjave been there especially when you have been working all day and decided to take a breather and it would seem like you are just lazying around and not wanting to get the job done.
376	high	I do not think that there are any consequences besides negative ones. I think that forcing others to work or work through breaks will just cause people to be resentful and want to look for other employment.
377	high	Worker probably dismissed the attitude, went back to work and later reported the manager’s behavior to HR. The worker would definitely find a better place to not get caught taking it easy.
378	low	I think the worker was scared. He tried to work harder and take less breaks afterwards.
379	low	I do not think that a manager should act like this ever. I creates a negative environment and makes people afraid. Even if someone has done something wrong, the worker should not put up with this and the manager should be reprimanded by a superior. The manager should not be fired but there should be consequences.
380	low	I think the manager sounds terrible. I would not enjoy working for this manager
381	high	The worker probably took the piss and picked up the pace.
382	low	the worker probably became more stressed out and tense. his work quality most likely suffered. the worker was probably upset, angry and annoyed at his managers reaction
383	low	The worker made a choice between two options. The first option would be to respond negatively, make excuses and urge the manager to find someone else who can complete the task more quickly. The second option would be to respond positively, acknowledging the necessity of completing the task quickly and commit to getting it done as soon as possible, thereby respectfully acknowledging the authority of the manager. A good worker worthy of keeping his job and perhaps advancing in the company, would choose the second option.
384	high	He probably was very stressed out, and angry at being treated this way. It probably impacted his job performance.
385	high	The worker probably felt awful about it. They probably questioned the integrity of their work and now also feel awful for taking breaks.
386	high	i hope the manager was reprimanded for abusive behavior. because an employee is likely to quit having to endure that behavior everyday. but i’m sure the employee got back to work to complete their tasks.
387	low	Depending on the organization, the employee could have gone to human resources to report the incident.
388	high	I imagine the worker would feel put down and not want to continue working there. They may even do a worse job do to low morale.
389	high	I don’t think the behavior of the manager motivated the worker to do a better job.
390	low	Workplaces with toxic behavior usually have little consequence for the people in positions of authority. In most situations it’s your word against theirs and no consequences ever happen for the people in charge.
391	low	The worker might have started picking up the pace and working harder and faster to get the job done. It may have riled up the employee.
392	high	I think nothing changed and the work was completed as fast it it could. This event only served to continue the toxic environment
393	low	The worker probably resented the manager, and lost respect for them.
394	high	I think the employee resents the manager and is less willing to work effectively. The worker may do the job, but they will complain about it internally and to coworkers.
395	high	Nothing likely happened to formally address the managers behavior at least. Possibly they received a trivial warning of upper management, but even that is doubtful.
396	high	The worker probably felt verbally abused and went immediately went back to work and wasn’t productive because of how they were treated.
397	high	he would be angry which made him secretly resent the manager
398	high	the worker got scared and immediately picked up the pace afraid of losing his job he will be more anxious and less effective
399	low	I think that the worker who was yelled at would have probably felt very upset and embarrassed by the interaction with their manager. I don’t think it’s every appropriate for a manager to yell at someone and I’d hope that there would have been consequences for that behavior.
400	low	the law of karma what you do will always come back to you good or bad
401	high	This managers behavior is very counterproductive. In order to facilitate a high production and emotionally stable workplace you have to value the work and mental health balance that comes with a high-pressure environment. This employee probably ended up way more strong and stressed than they would have if just allowed to take the break and breath.
402	high	I don’t think anything likely happened as a consequence for this manager. The business is probably glad to see results no matter what means are taken to achieve them.
403	high	The worker would feel humiliated and offended. Perhaps the lyrics of a song “I got to get out of this place…” came to mind.
404	high	I am sure the worker felt embarrassed number one, not to mention humiliated and probably upset and angry for their manager yelling at them like that. I would hope that the manager would have apologized for starters
405	low	The worker felt like the manager was singling him out, unfairly. The worker did not like being harshly reprimanded in front of others. The worker’s job satisfaction and confidence decreased as a result of the incident.
406	low	The employee would feel unsupported and under pressure. Hopefully the manager would calm down and discuss their behavior and emotions and check in with the employee’s progress. If the employee was not being productive and did not do good work, I would expect some consequences, but if the employee was taking a break and had made good progress, I would expect the manager to acknowledge that.
407	low	The manager went out of his/her way to work with the situation so the worker was happy with things.
408	high	The worker was probably given fewer tasks and eventually let go or snubbed at work by the manager. I would see if there were any way to get help from a coworker or I would possibly work later to make sure the project was done.
409	low	The worker probably felt stressed and demotivated, affecting productivity and team morale.
410	high	The worker perhaps returned to work and worked a bit faster in that moment, but likely felt significant resentment and possibly started looking around for other jobs where they would not be shouted at like this situation. It also depends on the industry in which this happened. This is expected/the norm in some industries and not in others. If it happened in an industry where this was the norm, the worker probably doubled down and worked harder. In other industries, the worker could have filed an HR complaint for unfair treatment.
411	low	It is likely that the worker gave him a dirty look and went back to what he was doing, continuing to be under stress. The moment this worker got the chance, he would speak to other workers secretly or after work to see if they were interested in unionizing. This worker who was likely underpaid to be under that amount of stress for only a small scrap of the benefit of upper management/ownership receives, will be in a very bad mood for a while, suffer the health effects of stress and feeling powerless while also loathing the conmpany and seek the very next opportunity to either quit or unionize.
412	high	The worker probably thought about quitting right there, if he didn’t already. I wouldn’t blame him - there is no excuse for a manager’s reaction like that.
413	high	They had an awful day, worked in awful conditions, hated being there, hated the manager, didn’t do any better, and questioned their life.
414	low	I think the worker probably internalized the stress and it probably affected the quality of his work. There is also a chance that the worker might consider looking for another job.
415	low	i think the manager act very scold the employee not to over use the break when the time is limit to the work
416	low	I would think that kind of behavior would bring down moral in the work place and i would think that other people working for them might now want to work as hard or put in the effort as much.
417	high	I would like to consider that as a consequence to the manager’s actions he was reprimanded. That kind of behavior is unacceptable. The worker’s reaction to it should be feeling of some kind of support in the workplace. In this workplace though, it doesn’t seem that this would happen.
418	high	The worker probably started to overwork as a result of the manager’s Behavior.
419	low	One or more of the other workers probably offered to help the chatised worker. The project would be completed on time.
420	low	If I were that worker, that would be a surprising reaction. I would feel bad, yet I would be angry because I was interrupted on my break, which is something that is a time. I am entitled to. Wow, I would not snap back to the supervisor or manager who confronted me in such an embrace manner, I would later let them know that I did not think it was appropriate, even though it appeared as though the manager was under some undue stress relating to the project. I would ask in the future the manager simply ask me because as an employee for this company or department, his attitude and his behavior does not align with the general atmosphere of my workplace.
421	high	I do not think anything negative happened to the manager, but the worker likely was upset and still worked hard to complete the tasks at hand.
422	low	I would imagine that productivity actually declined, not just in this specific worker but in the team as a whole. Seeing that sort of thing could really damage team morale and it doesn’t help anyone in the end, not even the manager or the manager’s superiors.
423	low	The worker was absolutely not inclined to work any more efficiently or effectively with that weak leadership approach. The manager should have asked if there was anything that they could have provided to that employee in order to help progress their work on that project.
424	low	The worker was totally shocked by such outburst of anger from the manager. Being shouted at in front of everyone, s/he definitely felt hurt and embarrassed of such treatment. S/he might also feel confused and a bit angry. Still, s/he rushed back to the workstation and picked up his/her work.
425	low	I believe the worker quickly went back to his work project and tried to get it done as soon as possible.
426	high	The reaction probably resented and did not like the manager after the interaction. The worker probably returned to work but did not put a lot of effort into the quality and performing efficiently.
427	low	As a consequence of th3 manager’s behavior, the targeted worker likely experienced feelings of stress and anxiety, feeling undervalued and demoralized in their role. This could have led to a decrease in their motivation and engagement at work, possibly causing them to withdraw from their responsibilities or become less willing to contribute ideas. The worker may have also begun to distrust their manager, which could result in reluctance to communicate openly, fearing further criticism or negative repercussions. Ultimately, this toxic interaction could create a rift in morale not just for the targeted individuals, but also among their colleagues, as they witness the negative treatment and may worry about their own job security.
428	high	The worker was most likely very frustrated and mad they were yelled out. Their work was most likely to suffer when being in this mood.
429	low	The worker likely held a grudge, the manager struggled to keep his composure and in result hurt his relationship with the worker. This likely will result poor communication from the worker there-forward.
430	low	I think that the employee finished the project and it got done without issue. The employee probably wasn’t thrilled about being yelled at, but dealt with it and worked through it.
431	low	It doesn’t sound like a place where that would be tolerated. Hard to say what the consequences would be. I sure the employee was shocked and upset.
432	high	He most likely finished the project then started looking for a new job.
433	high	The worker would have to respect the manager even if he or she was already so drained, for being on the manager’s bad side is bad for employees.
434	high	I imagine the worker’s reaction was that of fear and stress. In this environment, there were likely no repurcussions for the manager.
435	low	I don’t think that anything major happened. The manager already express the need to get the job done. He may should have said it in a nicer way.
436	high	I think the worker was likely very upset and frustrated by their manager’s awful behavior and threats, and probably wanted to quit because that’s a lot of pressure to put on someone. I think they probably ultimately ended their break, though, and began to work faster instead of risking repercussions or even their job over the incident.
437	low	One possibility is the worker got back to work and go this task done. Another possibility is that the worker told other managers about the issue and the original manager was spoken to.
438	low	The worker was most likely stressed and demotivated after being yelled at by the manager in front of everyone. The worker is most likely to become angry and resentful instead of inspired.
439	high	The worker was surprised and upset. They didn’t like it.
440	low	Letting emotions guide a manager’s actions is never a good strategy. The worker probably was stressed, disappointed, and most likely started losing or lost trust in their manager.
441	high	I would imagine that the worker would do his best to work more quickly but I’m sure more resentment would build up towards the manager. The manager needs to be more appreciative of his staff.
442	high	I think the worker and the rest of the team would resent this manager and would not do their best work, nor would they care about the company or have any commitment to the job.
443	high	Nothing, managers like that never get what is coming to them because they are quick to deflect and throw their employees under the bus to protect themselves
444	low	The worker will feel afraid and then angry. They will hide their feelings but let them simmer. Morale is damaged. Other team members see this and wonder if they are next, maybe start updating their resume.
445	high	I don’t think the manager had any consequences. The worker probably listened to their manager and tried to work faster.
446	high	There was probably no consequence for the managers behavior. The worker probably would have reacted with either compliance or hostility.
447	low	I believe the worker told some coworkers about the incident, which left a bad taste in those coworkers’ mouths about the manager.
448	high	The worker was taken aback and very upset. Their confidence is now shattered.
449	high	The manager was reprimanded and he was either retrained or stepped down. The worker would feel like justice has been served.
450	high	The worker most likely doubled down and worked harder, though it probably had dire mental and physical consequences for the worker.
451	low	Why am I being singled out? Aren’t we a team? A lot of my time is going to helping other people, should I just stop helping other people with their projects?
452	low	This happened IRL one time on the other side of the wall the guy was shouting and yelling at the TOP OF HIS LUNGS , the other person didn’t say squant. I was afraid and I think I left on my on (temp job) because the place was toxic and creepy. did not like being there. and so this worker is probably lookin to get another job after this.
453	high	The employee probably received a strike on their record for not being on top of work and is closer to being fired now thanks to that said strike.
454	high	It depends on the disposition of the worker. They would either be defiant or me submissive most likely.
455	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager because, in this type of culture, upper management expects this from their line managers.
456	low	Too much pressure can lead to workers feeling overwhelmed and then under perform. I wouldn’t be surprised if the worker were at least distracted by the experience.
457	low	The manager would have been turned into HR as their rage was inapproiate for the workplace. It isn’t necessary to degrade people in front of others. If you have a problem with them then take it private and act civilized.
458	high	The worker would have felt angry for sure and probably humiliated. S/he probably did end the break, however I would be surprised if s/he tried very hard to do the best work they could. I imagine they did the minimum possible to comply and perhaps they underperformed going far in the future, either purposely or just from demoralization. Furthermore, I think this worker would be more inclined to mistreat his or her peers and other associates going forward, or more inclined to take revenge in other ways like pilfering supplies, sneaking out early, calling in sick when it is not necessary, etc.
459	high	They probably got back to work but may have been unhappy. It could have caused a poor work performance. Slower work or cause a the worker to look for another job.
460	low	They should be punished and be warned about it. If it keeps up, they will be demoted.
461	low	I believe that the worker no longer saw their manager as someone who cared about their well being. I think that this experience changed their view about the company as a whole.
462	high	I think the worker probably felt embarrassed and targeted. I don’t think this kind of treatment would actually make the worker more productive.
463	low	I feel that the worker felt even more demoralized by this interaction, and it served only to increase their level of stress and decrease their enjoyment of this environment.
464	high	The worker probably worked harder and got the task done but was probably humiliated and angry at being yelled at in front of everyone. Maybe the worker started looking for a new job.
465	low	If the manager meant what he said, and it showed, then the worker most likely did what he was told, to avoid repercussions.
466	low	It’s hard to say. I think that the coworker could have either been scared by the threat and gone back to work, or could have retaliated with their own anger and walked out on the job. The reaction depends on the individual.
467	high	I think the worker would feel motivated to complete the task only out of fear. I would expect the worker to either quit because of the manger’s actions or to complete the task out of fear.
468	low	I think the worker didn’t take this lightly. The worker probably was upset and thinks they deserve a break at times.
469	high	Writeup probably happened here likely I would think
470	low	The worker would be upset they were being yelled at for taking a break, maybe because he was allowed to have one and his manager is just freaking out about it.
471	high	The worker probably got mad at being yelled at and didn’t put much effort into his work after that.
472	low	The worker’s reaction will most likely be negative. Although they might work hard at the current task at hand, their reception towards their manager would be negative. They most likely respect their manager less from now on, and won’t feel safe to express their opnions or have control over their workflow.
473	low	I believe nothing happened as a consequence in the managers behavior. The reaction would be ensuring that they got the work done since they dont want to be fired or feel like they arent listening to upper management.
474	low	It probably decreased morale in the office and the worker was probably upset.
475	low	I think as a consequence in the short term the worker would get more done as the boss wanted. But I think this kind of interaction also damaged their working relationship and overall the workplace is worse off for it.
476	low	The person would likely feel that they are in a hostile environment.
477	low	I doubt there was any consequence to the manager’s behavior if they acted that way openly. I hope the worker took note that their manager was not a good leader.
478	high	I sincerely hope someone reported this manager. A manager should never reprimand (let alone yell) at anyone in a public setting.
479	high	Unless the worker went to HR to complain about aggressive or unpleasant behavior nothing happened. If someone report him, he was probably warned with a written notice.
480	low	I think the worker was shocked and didn’t take it too well, and saw the manager’s behavior as unnecessary
481	high	The worker likely felt a mix of frustration, resentment, and stress. In the short term, they might have picked up the pace out of fear, not wanting to face the “consequences” the manager threatened. But over time, this kind of treatment could lead to disengagement, lower morale, or even burnout. They might also start looking for ways to push back, either by doing the bare minimum, gossiping about the manager, or even finding a way to leave the company altogether.
482	low	I’m sure the worker was upset over being yelled at since this work environment is one of collaboration and cooperation. I don’t know if the manager suffered any consequences to acting this way. The workers feelings were likely hurt as they probably felt like they were singled out, having to hurry up on this project alone, when the manager should have gotten more employees to help out.
483	high	I believe that the manager would probably fire them. And I am sure that the working is a ball of nerves. And probably would quit if management kept up this kind of behavior.
484	high	worker was probably shocked and upset about the confrontation. Didn’t know why it happened the way it did
485	high	The worker picked up the pace in order to avoid getting yelled at even further. They also resented the manager a little bit more than they did before they got yelled at.
486	low	The worker wouldn’t like the manager’s behavior and would be upset. The worker might discuss with the other worker about the behavior of the manager. The worker would however focus more on finishing the project or giving the impression that the worker is being productive on the project
487	high	I think there was probably no consequences to the managers behavior - so long as the job got done on deadline. I don’t blame the worker for that reaction at all. No one should have to pay for a manager’s mismanagement of time.
488	low	The manager will forever be seen by his employees as being a bad, unsupportive leader. Taking a break and getting shouted at is an easy way to lost trust and effort from those under you.
489	low	The worker would have been surprised at the acrimony of the manager. The manager could have used a more cooperative approach, explaining the need for extra speed and encouraging the worker instead of denigrating the worker.
490	low	The worker most likely either got to work at a faster pace, or got cut. If they were just having a bad day, i can imagine them needing some encouragement to get the job done, even if that wasn’t an ideal way of doing it. If their speed of work is habitual, it would make sense for the manager to fire this employee.
491	low	I would imagine that worker stopped performing well, they probably became less productive because the manager had a stick up his ass. He has every right to work at whatever pace he can, yelling at someone to speed up does not work.
492	low	I don’t think too much happened to the manager. If I were the worker, I would be upset that my manager spoke to me that way. But I would make sure that the work got done and then probably go talk with my co-workers about what happened.
493	high	The managers behavior lead to harsh consequences of firing of the worker if they didn’t get to work faster. The worker should be appalled with the managers reaction, especially if it is a break that is legally appropriate.
494	high	The worker probably just let the manager reprimand him and then put his head down and tried to get the work done after. Arguing or talking back to the manager most likely won’t accomplish anything and the worker was probably afraid to do that.
495	low	The manager was very stressed out. It is very likely that he meant what he said in the moment, but he may have regretted it afterwards.
496	high	I would hope the manager was reprimanded for his lash out, that is no way to properly energize or inspire someone, being so aggressive will only make your workers more aggressive towards you.
497	low	I would imagine that the worker was dismayed, hurt, and possibly somewhat surprised at the manager’s behavior (given that the participant described the workplace as supportive). The worker likely felt a significant increase in the pressure to perform quickly, above and beyond the existing pressure. I would imagine that they worked themselves quite hard in response to this.
498	low	I feel the worker getting reprimanded, in that manner, felt a great deal of embarrassment. I think it had a more negative effect than successful and hurt the team as a whole.
499	low	The worker was probably upset about the manager’s behavior. They most likely went back to finish their work but did not have a positive attitude about it.
500	high	Intimidation never works. My guess is the worker would pretend to work because they have no loyalty toward their manager because the manager doesn’t have respect nor loyalty to the employee.
501	high	The employee would likely be upset, this was not a professional way to act.
502	high	I think it was inappropriate. He was right in taking a break.
503	high	I think the worker was probably feeling like their job was on the line, which is not how they should feel if they are taking a legal break. Managers should be held accountable as well for their inappropriate behavior and actions.
504	high	I would think that the worker would be very on-edge and feel some negative repercussions professionally/personally.
505	high	I think the worker would do what is asked of him but probably look into finding another job.
506	low	I think the worker would be ashamed, embarrassed by the open treatment in front of others, not being called aside. Frustration is what I would imagine they feel.
507	high	The manager should suffer consequences for their actions. The employee should stand up for their rights.
508	high	A public shouting incident most likely caused the worker to experience humiliation and stress as well as feelings of resentment. Personalities as well as stress limits determined diverse responses from the worker such as quick performance acceleration from fear or mental withdrawal leading to demotivation and job search. Working within a harsh environment could have prompted the worker to devise strategies for self defense along with plans to weaken their manager and create alliances to stay out of future similar situations.
509	high	The worker probably felt rushed and if their manager was being unreasonable and putting too high of expectations on them. I would imagine that the worker would either defend themselves or take it up with HR because they are entitled to breaks during the work day, regardless of the workload.
510	high	Maybe humiliated and not motivated to really perform to the best of their ability due to being mildly threatened. They probably got the work done but under a negative mindset.
511	high	I imagine the worker felt angry and resentful. I think the worker would not work towards completing their task with any efficiency.
512	low	The worker likely felt bad and under accomplished, and felt they needed to do more to keep up with expectations.
513	low	I think the manager would get in trouble for shouting to someone. Understandably, the worker would be hurt and might even go to HR about it. This could result in a bad relationship between the management and the day to day employees.
514	low	He might of gotten fired because of the lack of leadership
515	high	I bet the employee was angry. They were probably working very hard and just needed a break before getting back at it.
516	low	The worker likely felt embarassed /demoralized after being shouted at especially in high-trust team environment. Instead of feeling motivated he/she probably felt stressed and less engaged, which affected the performance.
517	high	I think the worker would have been hurt by what happened. I also think that because he was worried about not completing the task and the manager’s reaction, the worker ended his break and worked as hard as possible to complete the task and avoid upsetting the manager again.
518	high	The worker definitely had more negative feelings towards the company and the workplace.
519	low	The worker reacted with hostility and shock. The consequences to the worker’s self-esteem was severe and lowered it significantly.
521	low	The worker most likely worked faster but this will effect future work performance.
522	low	I can imagine the coworker did not want to get the job done any faster. It most likely discouraged him from completing the project.
523	low	I think the employee was insulted and argued with the manager over their perception of the employee’s work ethic.
524	high	It seems like the manager is targeting this particular employee because they have high expectations of them. Its unfair that an employee is being called out for their mistakes.
525	low	Considering how the general atmosphere in the workplace was described previously, I would guess the employee was surprised, first of all. Then, depending on their personality, either embarassed or engry/upset or both (possibly at different times).
526	high	The worker might have put on the pretense of working faster but they also resented the manager more. They are less likely to do quality work because they might become mad and resentful. They also might look for another job.
527	high	The employee likely went to a higher ranking person to complain about what happened. I would think that the higher ranking person would then have been talked to about it and possibly a warning issued if this behavior wasn’t typical of his usual.
528	high	I think that the worker used the yelling as motivation to get the work done faster.
529	high	The worker felt demoralized I’m sure. It most likely slowed their ability to concentrate and do quality work.
530	low	I would HOPE that the MANAGER’S boss found out about this and reprimanded the manager for his behavior, as I’m not one who likes yelling in the work place.
531	high	The employee felt bad, embarassed, ashamed. This did not improve his work performance.
532	low	The worker probably felt more stressed out and didn’t work any faster. Maybe the manager could’ve even gotten in trouble for shouting at the worker.
533	high	I think the worker probably became angry and demoralized by the interaction. It probably created less motivation to complete the task or be a part of the work team because they may not feel valued.
534	low	I would imagine that the individual became upset, and then got angry. He may have even gone to HR. Losing your temper with the people under you , is never a good thing. You have to maintain a calm, cool, and professional demeaner no matter what happens.
535	high	The worker likely felt stressed, frustrated, or even demoralized after being yelled at. They might have tried to work faster out of fear but could also have felt resentment toward the manager. This kind of treatment could lead to lower motivation, reduced job satisfaction, or even a desire to leave the company.
536	high	The worker probably listened and complied, but it was probably detrimental to the relationship, trust, and overall culture of the company.
537	low	If I were a worker & saw this, it was really damage my look on the manager. If no actual consequences came about to the manager in that time, it would definitely impact their reputation with coworkers
538	high	he got docked in someway . taken off the project possibly
539	high	I think the worker that was being called out became fed up with management and feeling like they don’t really ‘get’ them. For most roles, taking breaks helps to provide a higher quality of work. I’m not sure if the worker would quit from this scenario, but I’m sure it made them consider it.
540	low	I think morale suffered. This person probably took it personally.
541	low	I think the worker would be upset and a bit surprised based on how the workplace atmosphere usually is. I think they would feel hurt and singled out. I think it would negatively impact how they view their work situation and position.
542	high	I think the employee possibly delivered below standard work on the project due to the manager’s behavior. I think the employee felt a large level of pressure and embarrassment.
543	low	I imagine it damaged that worker’s view of their manager. The worker probably did not put in as much effort as they normally would have.
544	high	The worker was just as angry at the manager for confronting him in an angry way while he was idle. He doesn’t feel the manager understands anything he is going through, and it just makes him unhappy even more than he was before. He feels even less like performing well at work to get back at this manager.
545	low	I think the worker was surprised by his manager’s behavior. I expect that coworkers offered to help him meet the deadline faster.
546	high	I believe the worker probably went right back to his workspace and started finishing the project. Either that or lost his cool and shouted back at the manager, which probably wouldn’t end well.
547	high	In this environment, there was unfortunately probably no consequences. Most likely it went unreported and everyone just had to deal with it.
548	high	The worker must have felt ashamed and embarrassed to be yelled at. Also, the worker must be feeling extreme burnout and stress as well. If I was the worker, I would report to HR.
549	high	Initially, the worker probably did get back to work and worked harder. However, most people would be upset at being treated that way. They might eventually develop a bad attitude, finding ways to slack off, or they might start looking for a different job.
550	low	If the manager made the horrific mistake of vocalizing his displeasure in a place that was not private, the worker would feel humiliated. This type of behavior will only seed discontent within the worker and he will not work to his best potential for the benefit of the team. It is totally counter productive.
551	high	As a consequence to the manager’s behavior, I would assume the employee either felt less motivated to get the task done and/or received pushback from the employee due to feeling attacked. This could lead to issues such as the employee quitting or quality of work decreasing.
552	high	Since the atmosphere is competitive and cut throat, I think the employee would get right on the assignment
553	low	Hopefully he finished his break and went to finish the project the manager wanted done. The workers reaction should be do the job you’re paid to do.
554	low	Think the employee probably got back to work and picked up the pace. They probably were also mad about getting yelled at.
555	high	I would think that the employee went back to work but might have felt angry at the way he was yelled at.
556	high	I think the worker either complained to HR or resigned from the job. I think the employee thought the behavior was unprofessional and inappropriate, or that the culture is toxic.
557	low	The manager probably got what he was asking for in the short-term, but the worker may not have been as helpful in the future.
558	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager. I feel that it has become acceptable behavior in that workplace to act like that and to treat people poorly. Unfortunately that’s becoming more and more common nowadays. I feel the worker was probably upset and felt like they did something wrong and probably felt even more under pressure to get the work done.
559	high	I am sure the worker was upset, which would not be helpful for completing the task.
560	high	I am pretty sure that the manager’s leadership praised him for taking the initiative and for trying to make his workers work more, harder and faster than they were previously.
561	low	I would imagine in this scenario the worker likely would have been upset to have been treated with such disrespect. Had I been in this situation, I believe I would have immediately gone back to work on the project but asked my manager if they would be willing to provide assistance in getting the job completed earlier (either help from them or possibly a coworker).
562	low	I think the worker is more likely to pick up the pace, because he/she would probably not want make the manager angry
563	high	In this scenario, If I was the worker I would probably file a grievance against the manager. Unless we were told to work through breaks. Some states have where you must take a break for so many hours worked. The Manager should be written up or suspended.
564	low	I think the worker felt discouraged and pressured to work faster to meet the deadline. Being yelled at by the manager would be upsetting and stressful.
565	high	I;’m sure the worker was upset, and rightly so. If it was a sanctioned break, then the manager was way out of line. If the manager is feeling pressure, this could be communicated in a much more productive manner.
566	low	As a consequence to the manager’s behavior I hope he was, at the very least, reprimanded by his own leaders. I believe the workers reaction was likely one of disappointment and anger at the disrespect his manager had shown him. There is a difference between being stern and shouting at an employee.
567	low	The worker probably listened to the manager and returned to work even though the manager’s approach offended him and made him upset. Unfortunately with the worker being upset his quality of work might suffer
568	low	He/she was probably embarrassed at being berated by their manager in a public setting, a totally normal response. They were no doubt a bit angry as well. Whether or not they were on a legitimate break, the manager should have taken them aside to explain that they needed to get back to work to meet their deadline.
569	low	I think the employees felt like they could probably find a better place to work if the managers are going to act like that. I am sure there is a reason that the project isn’t likely to be finished on time, but it is doubtful the fault of that employee.
570	low	The worker most likely straightened up and picked up the pace.
571	low	Being that upper management was already upset, I’d say there were no consequences for the manager. As far as the interaction between the manager and worker; the task was most likely completed faster due to the managers insisting. What will most likely happen is the worker will not respect the manager as before due to negative communication.
572	low	I think the manager probably realized his behavior was uncalled for and he later apologized. He probably apologized to the rest of the staff, too, as this sort of thing can impact others and make them uncomfortable, too. Understanding the stress their usually respectful manager was under, I imagine they all understood and agreed on better ways to handle such situations in the future.
573	low	I would hope the manager was held accountable for their behavior. I hope the worker stood up for themself or at least reported this incident to HR.
574	high	the worker probably felt frustrated and under appreciated and possibly demotivated
575	low	I know that the manager was punished for his behavior. And he was probably terminated.
576	high	The worker should have stated clearly that shouting at him was not appropriate work behaviour and that if it continued they would take it up with HR.
577	high	The worker would be surprised but afraid for their job. The worker should apologize and explain that they did not know they could not take breaks. The employee should be given a break.
578	low	I think the worker would feel anger and embarrasement and would report the incedent to HR.
579	low	If I put myself in the workers shoes.. He probably went to anew job opportunity so he can quit.
580	high	As that worker, I would make a beeline for HR. However, it doesn’t sound like that’s really an option in this environment. Based on the information provided, my assumption is the employee went back to their grueling existence and buckled down.
581	low	I don’t think much of this. There’s really not enough information about the project or any precedents to rely upon from only hearing this one scenario.
582	low	The worker was probably upset and stressed out by the interaction. They probably tried to get the work done faster but likely did a worse job at the project.
583	low	I never think being yelled at is not helpful. I believe this worker was embarrassed and that will effect and add to already being stressed. I think that worker would feel less supported by the supervisor.
584	low	The coworker was not in the best of mood after and felt disrespected- the relationship between him and the manager was not the same.
585	low	The worker probably did what they were told but became resentful. They most likely will leave the job if the manager’s behavior continues that way.
586	low	Definitely the worker was very upset with the way the manager acted up which i believe even if the manager was under pressure and wanted to deliver results, had no right to be rude at the worker
587	high	Honestly probably nothing. Sometimes managers are able to get by and talk to workers like that as they are in higher positions.
588	high	I think that they could be reprimanded if it is reported. It will all depend on the person it happened to.
589	low	I think the consequence to the manager’s behavior was he was told that his response was not appropriate and it cant happen again. The worker was caught off guard and made embarrassed by the boss.
590	low	The worker became more stressed and under pressure. The worker also was not motivated to continue doing a good job. The worker also felt very upset and betrayed that he found no support in his own manager.
591	high	I think that in this kind of environment, probably nothing happened to the manager despite this behavior being inappropriate. The worker was probably really stressed out and anxious from this episode, and likely did work harder to avoid getting yelled at, but probably also started looking hard for another job, and felt less loyal to the company as a result of being yelled at. The worker also probably became less willing to help out the manager if something came up, and less willing to make any personal sacrifices for the company in general. I think the worker also felt really resentful, both of the company for letting the manager act like this and get away with this, and towards the manager for behaving in this way.
592	low	I am sure the worker felt belittled and targeted because of the hostile attittude of the manager. I am sure the worker was upset and also scared he might lose his job but angry to be yelled at, as that is never an appropriate response for a manager. As a consequence the worker would finish the project under duress and do sub par work and probably file a complaint with whoever oversees the manager, or the union if he has one.
593	low	The manager would probably get in trouble for yelling, as the worker probably wouldnt be ok just sitting there and getting yelled at
594	high	Not sure but if I was the worker I would quit right then and there. Managers like that are promoted with no training.
595	high	Most likely the work not only resented the shouting behavior, but as a consequence bad-mouthed the manager to other employees. This would only increase a toxic work environment that appears to be all stick and no carrot.
596	low	I think what would happen would be severe anxiety and pressure, as well as discomfort.
597	high	I imagine that the worker was also upset and, while they did get back to work, looked for another job in their free time. While some thrive and enjoy such environments, most would eventually seek someplace else to work.
598	high	The worker morre than likely complained to human Resoursed, who probably did nothing.
599	high	I think the worker picked up the pace. But I think his/her resentment level skyrocketed. There will probably be some searching for another job.
600	low	I wish my manager was more supportive and understanding of my situation.
601	high	I’m sure the worker felt upset and if they had screwed up. I’m sure they felt forced to continue and probably stressed themself out by working even harder because now they knew they were being watched. I would imagine this would impact someone’s confidence and even happiness at the job to be yelled at like that, likely in front of others.
602	high	The worker probably got discouraged and put off by the managers actions.
603	low	The worker felt shamed and frustrated to be yelled at in front of the others. The other workers would not trust the manager after this incident.
604	low	I would believe that the employee definitely went back to work and proved to be a productive worker
605	high	The worker likely got very anxious and felt annoyed that they were caught taking a break by the manager. They likely either gave it their all to meet the deadline or simply did not care and figured they would get fired regardless for having been caught not working.
606	low	The worker likely felt embarrassed and stressed after being yelled at publicly, which can be demoralizing. They probably became withdrawn and worked more quietly to avoid further attention.
607	low	I am not sure what happened as a consequence, but I would expect the worker to feel further pressured into finishing the project quickly.
608	low	I think the worker got really stressed and less invested in their job. I do think they got the work done tho.
609	low	The worker was overly stressed and might have rushed worked leading to a poorer performance
610	low	the worker probably froze up first, caught off guard by the managers outburst being weird and felt a mix of embarrassment and resentment since it happend in front of other people. I bet he iether pushed himself into overdrive to meet the deadline, fueled by stress more than motivation, or he shut down a bit, doing the bare minimum to avoid more heat while quietly plotting the whole thing
611	high	The employee did what they were told to do, but carried anger and resentment toward the manager and job all the time. This whole company needs to implement some thorough leadership training.
612	low	I would gather the worker filed a complaint to HR against the manager for his unecessary behavior as well as causing extra stress on the employee.
613	low	The worker could have felt embarrassed probably leading to broken trust and resentment towards the manager.
614	high	I don’t think there were any consequences. The worker probably felt like garbage and was very angry, but probably didn’t do anything like filing a complaint because of the general atmosphere being horrible.
615	low	I would assume that people would think more poorly of this particular manager and I doubt that the work got done any faster with a reaction like that. I think the manager may have been reported for this behavior as well.
616	low	Possibly nothing but you should not come at your employee’s like that. Even if there is a deadline you shouldn’t threaten your workers.
617	low	I feel as though the worker was probably not very happy getting yelled at on break and therefore mostly likely won’t be as productive as before
618	low	The worker probably had a right to feel upset! They felt unfairly targeted (which did seem to be the case) and the manager was not treating them like the self-responsible, yet collaborative, teammate that they were (if, in fact, that team member was those things. Even if not, that’s not an appropriate way for a manager to behave.)
619	high	The worker likely felt anxiety charging through his body and tried to stay focused.
620	low	This seems like a really mean and unprofessional way to behave. The worker must have been upset and hurt by this behavior.
621	high	The employee most likely stopped taking breaks. I’d imagine nothing happened to the manager as a consequence.
622	low	Probably nothing happened to the manager. I’ve worked places like that - that claim to be supportive, but really aren’t. The worker probably hurt a little, but maybe from then on avoided situations where they might get yelled at, or even started looking for another job.
623	low	I think the managers supervisor must have gotten on his case regarding the slow place at which an assignment was going. The worker was yelled at and I can only answer this by putting myself in the workers position. I would informmy manager that with all due respect I am entitled to a break. I would ask if we could go somewhere private to talk. I would give a status of my assignment. I would also state that I was hired to do a job, we are both adults, and we both should respect each other. Please do not yell at me like I am an animal or a child. Thank you.
624	high	The worker would only make sure to hide more from management. There would be even less open communication. This is a terrible way to manage people.
625	high	If the project would reflect negatively on the worker, then they cut their break early and began to work harder. However, if it reflected negatively on the manager, then the worker really began to drag their feet.
626	low	I think that the worker in this situation would have been appalled and probably wouldn’t have reacted quickly. I feel that he would have gone back to work and would have expected an apology from the manager for his atrocious behavior.
627	high	I think it made the worker more tense and unable to concentrate on the task that needed to be completed.
628	low	There were probably no consequences to the managers behavior. They most likely continued managing with that toxic behavior.
629	low	I have a feeling that no consequences came to the manager. But I believe that this worker would become anxious, frightened, or upset. I feel like they might get the project done quicker, but the work wouldn’t be as high quality. I’d also think that they would start considering moving to another team or employer.
630	low	I think that probably nothing happened. I think that the subordinate probably got his work done./
631	high	I think that this would be damaging to the reputation and the collaboration between these people. I think that the manager probably burned a bridge here.
632	high	Worker was pretty startled, worst case scenario might’ve snapped back. Best case scenario, they’ve apologized or silently gotten back to their station.
633	low	Either the worker apologized for the delay and immediately started back working or he reported the behavior of the manager to corporate of unprofessional and creating a hostile work environment.
634	high	The manager would probably give the employee an over time or deduct from the employees wage.
635	low	The manager mishandled the situation. He should have asked the worker what he as a manager can do to expedite the completion.
636	low	The worker was put under more stress, and therefore, didn’t preform as well. They were probably frustrated and angry with their manager as well
637	high	Most likely the worker’s performance suffered and the motivation reduces and the stress increased - nothing wrong with monitoring the workers - it’s kind of part of a managers job but as my wife would say you get more with honey than lemons - positive encouragement would likely work better than shouting and threats
638	low	I think the worker would have purposely started making mistakes on the project, intentionally trying to make the project fail.
639	low	The reaction was probably mostly negative, probably not encouraging for the employee to work faster or take fewer breaks. I cannot imagine the employee knew ahead of time how much of a time constraint there was. Probably would have been much better received if they were notified ahead of time that there was a time crunch.
640	low	I believe that, very likely, the worker could not continue to work in a normal and productive way because getting yelled at is distressing. Some people can recover quickly from stressful situations, but not everyone can. More likely than not, the work will be shaken up a little bit.
641	low	The worker would feel bad and be under high levels of stress and might end up delivering something that is beneath his or her regular standard.
642	low	I feel like this manager is also probably overworked or sees other members of the team working harder than the one who was yelled at and was just at the end of their fuse and broke. It is definitely inappropriate behavior and I would imagine that it really broke the team’s trust.
643	high	I think the manager would lose the faith and belief of their employees. Which would discourage them from being effective.
644	low	The manager was very likely not even reprimanded, much less punished.
645	high	the worker stressed to complete his work work faster
646	high	The worker probably went back to work, but had a decreased respect for both the manager and the company as a result. This no doubt impacted the employee’s efficiency in the long term because the employee was less invested in the company’s success.
647	high	The worker would end his break and get back to work, I would imagine, but harbor dislike for the manager.
648	low	I think it would be discouraging as the worker, and I don’t think it would have the motivating effect the manager wanted. I think the worker would be super frustrated and maybe even complain to HR.
649	high	I think the worker would be pretty peeved because the manager is not the only one under pressure.
650	high	That depends. If the manager’s upper management doesn’t care, then nothing was done to provide justice to the employee/employees. Otherwise, hopefully the manager’s bosses put them in their place. And I hope the employee went WELL over all upper management and authority’s heads to complain about this
651	low	Well the manger went about the situation wrong, it’s not good to command threats. The employee probably acted in a defensive manner and proceeded to fill the task while angry.
652	low	The manager likely knew of bigger issues. it could be a number of issues that were at stane.
653	high	The worker would feel stressed and resentful towards the manager. He would also feel scared
654	high	The worker most likely filed a complaint about the manager’s aggression to HR.
655	high	The worker was most likely worried and anxious about the manager’s reaction. However, there’s also a good chance the worker felt insulted and angry. Rather than be encouraged to actually work faster, they might choose to go above the manager’s head to their own supervisor to discuss their inappropriate behavior toward employees.
656	low	I think what could happen as a consequence to the manager’s behavior would be a fall out of the team and a loss of respect and teamwork.
657	low	That created a hostile environment that the worker felt like they didn’t have a say or couldn’t take a break. That would ruin the whole culture that was created prior
658	low	I imagine that the worker apologized, and got back to work. Usually people put under a lot of stress in this way at a work place comply with their managers wishes, in order to not affect their job performance.
659	high	As a consequence, the worker likely wanted to quit or possibly spite the manager rather than working harder.
660	high	The worker probably went back to work because the manager yelled at them to. They also probably felt humiliated and upset
661	low	The worker would likely have been taken aback and surprised at how the manager was treating him. The manager may face consequences from those above him for not upholding the company culture.
662	high	I imagine the worker just took it. There really isn’t the option to fight back or stick up for yourself in that situation.
663	low	I bet the employee was upset. Ultimately I suspect nothing would happen unless the employee complained.
664	low	The worker was probably pretty upset because it doesn’t seem like this type of behavior is typical in the workplace. They might have even reported the manager.
665	low	I think the worker probably started looking for a new job or maybe even escalated the issue to Human Resources.
666	high	I imagine the worker did complete the job faster but ruined their morale and motivation for future work.
667	low	I think that the managers behavior is horrible and he should try talking and explaining the situation rather than screaming and making everything worse,
668	high	If there is a need to yell at employee’s there isn’t a good reason t do. The emotional instability of the manager would then need to be checked by the district manager on duty to reprimanded.
669	high	I’d expect him to either get sent home early, lose hours, or even get fired. However, wrongful termination just as this is the foundation of a lawsuit.
670	high	I assume the work done by the worker after this incident would be of a much lower quality than if they were never targeted. Additionally, even the amount of time it would take them to finish the task would take longer, as stress tends to dampen focus.
671	high	The worker probably got scared and went bad to work unwillingly. But they might not perform their work as well because they are bothered by their manager’s behavior.
672	high	Either the employee quit or the manager was reprimanded as a result of his unjustifiable actions.
673	high	The worker was most likely stressed and anxious about the encounter which just made him work more sloppy and rushed in order to target the managers deadline.
674	low	The worker felt anxious and may have not been able to work as well since he was scared of the consequences
675	low	I would say that the worker was negatively impacted by the interaction, and was probably a little upset considering that they were on their break at the time.
676	low	The worker probably felt betrayed and mistreated by the manager. No one like to be yelled at or spoken down to so the worker probably was not encouraged by this interaction.
677	high	I think this demotivated the worker and made the worker not want to do anything else at the job.
678	low	They were likely rather shaken and not expecting it, I am not sure it would motivate them more if they were already working really hard.
679	low	The worker would feel bad about taking a break and would not take breaks ever again.
680	low	The workers reaction must have been anxious and afraid, they must have put in 110% effort in finishing the task that was assigned to them. The managers behavior has stoked fear into the worker.
681	low	I doubt that anything happened to the manager. There are lots of people in management who definitely shouldn’t be. If I was the worker, I would have no respect for the manager and wouldn’t care about the deadline.
682	low	I would assume the employee continued on with his break and was upset with the manager. They were both under pressure and it’s still important to take a break from time to time to stay focused.
683	high	The worker was probably down and felt disrespected and threatened He will definitely do the job as fast as he can but any chance he gets to climb over the manager and backbiting him will be taken without a second thought
684	high	If I were the worker, I would be angry and rightfully so. The manager should be reported for lack of professionalism.
685	low	I have a coworker who had a tendency to do as little work as possible. My manager has told him several times to improve his work quality but he has yet to do so.
686	low	Most likely a reprimand. The worker is upset, confused, and possibly angry. Working for a manager who lacks self control isn’t the best.
687	high	I thin absolutely nothing happened to the manager simply because of his role.
688	high	The worker most likely panicked and hurried to finish the work, while hating the manager the entire time. The work probably suffered as a result of him being in an emotional state and not having had a break.
689	high	The worker was probably too mad that they were yelled at for taking a break and probably didn’t work to their full potential
690	high	Definitely the worker will get upset but he has no choice to do what the manager asked him. Because he needs the paycheck to pay the bills.
691	high	The worker will not be happy with the manager hence making it very hard to work with the manager again.
692	high	As a worker they can go to hr because it is not professional to yell at employees. The manager should have gave support to them and legally you get your breaks. The manager can possible get fired or reprimanded their self because they should not have been so late in the project to begin with. It’s their job as a manager to ensure this.
693	low	If there weren’t any consequences from management higher up than that manager, then there would definitely be consequences from the employees. The manager’s outburst would erode morale and trust in the manager. The work environment would be one where employees walked on egg-shells and possibly even resented the manager.
694	low	It is never ok to just yell at your subordinate like that, so I am sure that the manager was reported to HR and reprimanded. As for the worker, it really depends on their core personality. They could either be submissive and just take the abuse but be completely demoralized and embarrassed from it, or they could be assertive, and a real altercation could have broken out over the disrespect.
695	high	I think that the workers may have quit, talked to others about his manager or looked for another job.
696	high	I’m guessing the worker got back to work, but likely started to look for another job. I can’t imagine that this manager keeps employees for long.
697	high	The worker probally started trying to meet his expectations reluctantly and probally bears a grudge against and will try to avoid him as much as possiable.
698	high	Nothing. This seems like an environment that, that’s kind of stuff will go unnoticed. I work somewhere where if you are a “somebody” you can do what you want. So he probably didn’t receive any consequences for his actions.
699	low	I think the worker started to isolate from the manager as a result of the manager’s behavior. I don’t think anyone reported the manager, so nothing happened to them, but I think the worker quit a few weeks later.
700	high	I would think the worker would probably have done what the manager asked. He wouldn’t have liked the attitude from the manager but he would feel that he didn’t have a choice in the matter.
701	low	The manager was probably under stress, which was what why the manager acted that way. The worker was probably not motivated by this interaction.
702	low	The worker might have shouted back, done what was asked, or reported the manager to the manager’s higher up.
703	low	I would guess that the worker was surprised and shocked, probably didn’t know what to say. The worker probably got straight to work.
704	low	The worker was likely upset and embarrassed. I think he/she pushed themselves and finished the project, then promptly quit. However, the more likely scenario is the worker responded negatively to the manager’s public humiliation and verbal assault and shouted back angrily and quit on the spot.
705	low	I feel the worker was unjustly talked down to. This behavior should not be present in a work environment.
706	low	The worker probably felt singled out, along with being overly stressed. They may have gone to HR to report the manager’s behavior as they should not have yelled at or singled out one employee no matter the situation unless it was specifically that employees task. If it was that employee’s task an individual private discussion should be had instead of in front of others.
707	low	If it was an escalating anger, it might lead to HR being involved.
708	low	I imagine the worker was upset by the managers outburst. The manager could have approached the worker in a different way. I hope they worked out their differences and got the project done.
709	low	The worker either got it together or could have quit. I don’t know the personality of the worker to be able to tell what to expect.
710	low	Im sure they talked to him regarding how to talk to employees in a positive manner.
711	low	The worker probably did as told and tried to work harder at his job.
712	low	The employees may have sped up his workflow, but secretly began making plans on leaving the company.
713	low	I would imagine that the worker was caught off guard and felt attacked. They probably also felt ashamed and were reluctant to take breaks afterwards.
714	low	I would think the worker would be less likely to get the project done by the deadline, as the manager overreacted and pushed the employee too hard.
715	high	I would be upset about it. Feeling singled out. It’ sno fair.
716	low	I think a worker would be embarrassed, frustrated, and angry by this behavior. They may get back to work in the moment but this would create lasting damage.
717	low	I would be upset and contemplate if this is the team for me. I likely would have quit within a few weeks
718	high	I believe the workers were stunned into silence and obedience. No one felt comfortable working for this manager for a while.
719	high	I don’t think anything happened. I think that is part of their work culture and situations like that probably go on a lot without repercussions. The manager’s actions were hostile and unacceptable in my opinion, but moist likely nothing happened to him.
720	low	While the worker may have sped up to appease their manager, my suspicion is the work produced would be subpar, and the worker anxious, nervous, and frankly feeling poorly. Additionally, any coworkers who witnessed the episode would feel the same, resulting in a bad morale working situation for everyone - productivity will drop.
721	low	I think that the employer either maliciously complied or the employee who was being targeted by the manager has had enough and stood up for himself and quit.
722	high	I bet the worker returned to work instead of slacking off. He should not have been taking a break when there is a big deadline coming up. This is an example of the declining work ethic in America. No one wants to work anymore.
723	low	The worker would have been very upset with this interaction. It was unprofessional and uncalled for. The worker would have filed a complaint.
724	low	I’m sure the worker was embarrassed and possibly angry at the manager’s outburst. Deadline or not, workers are entitled to take a periodic break, and as long as the worker was not outside of the company’s guidelines, the manager should have been reprimanded for his behavior, and should have apologized to the worker.
725	low	I feel that the person felt signaled out and intimidated. I also think they felt bad but still tried to complete the work as to not feel like a disappointment.
726	high	I bet the worker reported the manager to upper management. Depending on the people who work in upper management, either nothing was done, or someone addressed the manager’s behavior. It could also have ruined the relationship between the worker and manager.
727	high	He was demotivated to work harder because he felt like he was working very hard and it was never good enough.
728	high	If the worker is used to that behavior, he/she would just have to take it. Otherwise if I were the worker I would be looking for another job because shouting at the workplace and threats of that kind are unacceptable.
729	high	The worker was probably mortified and extremely stressed, but quickly went back to work and got the work done… probably cursing at the manager under his/her breath.
730	high	Nothing. I imagine the manager had no consequences to treating the worker that way. I would think the worker reacted by hunkering down to get whatever work done that they needed to, but this interaction would leave a long-term stain on the manager’s reputation and rapport with the worker.
731	high	I think the worker would no longer trust or respect the manager. He also probably wouldn’t care as much about the project that needed to be done either.
732	high	The worker looked shocked and embarrassed, especially in front of others. After that, he kept his head down and worked faster, but he also seemed withdrawn and tense, like he was just trying to avoid more conflict instead of being motivated.
733	low	I’m sure the worker was upset to be treated so ugly by their boss and probably wanted to walk off the job . I don’t blame them.
734	high	The worker probably would default to: I am taking my authorized break, and you may not speak to me in that tome of voice. It is abusive.
735	low	I think a possibility is that he got reprimanded. I also think one possibility is the employee was fed up and just walked out and quit.
736	low	He may have temporarily increased his work effort. But the overall result was probably detrimental, as it lowered self esteem, lowered trust with his manager, and just overall made his attitude towards the company more negative. The long term effects are not worth the short term benefits in this case.
737	high	I think the worker probably felt extreme stress and pressure to get the job done. Perhaps he got the job done faster, or perhaps he cracked under pressure and lost or quit his job.
738	high	The worker was likely written up and may have missed out on a bonus and/or promotional opportunity.
739	high	The worker probably worked harder in the moment, but in the long run, I bet the worker became less satisfied with their job and maybe started searching for other jobs. It probably made the worker less likely to volunteer for assignments or go above and beyond on projects.
740	high	I think he would of been taken off the project. Or there might of been a pay cut. I think the worker woild have definetly been upset but hid his emotions while at work and picked up the pace.
741	high	The manager is probably not looked upon as approachable, and is creating an atmosphere of fear. The worker probably was taken by surprise, and considered immediately putting in a two week notice. He probably browsed the internet for a new job on his break.
742	high	Hopefully the worker went to HR to have the manager reprimanded
743	high	I would imagine this employee became more stressed as a result of this and likely rushed to complete the task and did a less thorough job than if the manager had respected the break he was taking.
744	low	As the worker, I would immediately enter malicious compliance, consider going to HR or a supervisor about the behavior, and even keep an eye out for a job.
745	low	I think there was no consequence for the employee. But maybe an incentive related consequence for the manager. I think the employee reacted as the manager overreacting.
746	low	In this situation I would be unlikely to disagree or engage with the manager but it also wouldn’t mean I got the work done any faster. I’d likely talk with my coworkers about the situation to find a way to escalate the issue either to the manager or above them, a rushed work environment is not a healthy one
747	low	The worker was probably angry to be treated like that. If that has happened more than once, I bet the employee would start looking for another job.
748	low	The worker was probably taken aback by being spoken to in such a disrespectful manner. They may even consider finding another job.
749	high	I’m going to assume he got right to work, but I don’t agree with yelling at an employee.
750	high	I think the worker probably completed the task faster in order to avoid being fired, and apologized, but was anxious and distraught, or even angry, as a result.
751	low	The worker probably did as the manager requested. However, the worker probably felt like the work environment was not as egalitarian as they had believed it to be before this incident.
752	high	It depends on the type of worker. If they need the job desperately, they would say yes, sir, and go back to work to finish the project. If this was a constant thing, it could push the worker to a breaking point and they quit their job.
753	high	I’d imagine the worker was probably very angry, but to suppress their reaction to the altercation, leading to a poorer work performance overall than if he had not been yelled at.
754	low	I would think the worker felt embarrassed. Employees need breaks in the workday in order for them to more efficiently get their jobs done. I think the manager should be reprimanded for their behavior.
755	high	The worker probably felt even more pressure. The worker probably did work faster. The stress and fast pace might’ve cost their work to take a dive in quality.
756	high	I would guess that with the way things are done in this environment that nothing was done about the managers behavior. It seems that this kind of behavior is most likely looked over by the upper management because of the cutthroat environment. The worker seems to be describing it as something that happens often and is seen to be normal in this workplace.
757	low	I would imagine the worker was a bit shocked and upset. That would likely reflect in their work as they would have some resentment towards the manager now and likely would not give their best effort anymore.
758	high	I expect that in an adversarial workplace, the worker would have responded, “or what?” Because being let go would be a blessing. Perhaps the worker was able to remain calm and tell the manager that breaks are necessary for peak performance.
759	high	depending on whether the employee was fearful or not it couldve made the employee feel scared and frightening to complete the work or more pressured to complete it in general.
760	high	I am sure the worker was very upset and felt he was being treated unfairly. In addition, the worker probably felt justifiably humiliated to be treated like an inhuman robot.
761	low	The worker probably felt demoralized and embarrassed, especially if other workers overheard the manager berate the worker. The worker most likely focused on their work to meet the deadline, or face the consequences the manager threatened.
762	low	As the worker, I would have been startled and angry. However, if the manager was having a bad moment, recognized it and apologized I would have called it water under the bridge, shaken his hand and thanked him for apologizing. If he docked my pay or took disciplinary action against me for being on break, I would have written HR a letter.
763	low	the worker probably shut down emotionally and didn’t do his best work
764	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager. The worker probably just sat there and took it. I think the manager could’ve handled it better but there are two sides to every story.
765	low	I think the manager betrayed the trust and confidence workers had towards him. In the future they would trust the manager less.
766	low	The worker probably felt emberrassed, stressed or upset. Instead of feeling motivated, they might have lost trust in the manager and felt less willing to collaborate or help others.
767	high	The Consequence Would Be A Write Up and A Lecture from Human Resources aka HR and The Worker’s Reaction Would Be Stress, Worried and Having So Much Built Up Anxiety.
768	high	The worker is a hard worker and very productive when given able time and resources to complete task. Pressuring the worker to work faster and threatening consequences will led to added stress which will likely end in errors being made. Also, if this happens often enough this will result in illness and time off on the part of the worker due to mental stress. This is what the worker is thinking and will react in a way that they will do their best to do the work but fatigue and misery is more powerful.
769	high	The worker probably felt bad and while he probably did work harder I think there was an equally likely chance that the worker worked less hard. They also probably started looking for other jobs since they felt upset.
770	low	The worker probably felt intimidated or even angry at the manager. The worker would probably bring this concern to higher management or HR.
771	high	The person likely skipped breaks and worked at an unsustainable pace. They also likely faced serious mental distress and burnout.
772	high	The worker probably ended their break sooner than the time allotted to them and went back to working on the project. They probably also did something passive aggressive against the manager that they couldn’t be caught for, and started looking for a new job.
773	high	The worker got upset, but nothing happened to the manager
774	low	The worker probably felt threatened by it or scared. They maybe felt they were being targeted unfairly possibly. It probably sent them panicking a bit and trying to work a little faster. Maybe quantity over quality became something for the worker in that moment.
775	high	I think the worker became nervous and frightened and quickly went back to work without a word.
776	low	I doubt there were any consequences to that manager, because usually people claiming to be in a supportive environment at a workplace, it oftentimes isn’t as good as it seems. I think if the pressure was already there, the bosses would support what the manager did. The guy wasn’t being a ‘team player’ for taking a break, I assume, and thus many would think the manager was in the right.
777	low	They would likely get a warning or reprimanded to the higher ups. The worker would probably feel drawn back and upset at the manager. They would likely not be as sociable and their work would suffer as a result.
778	high	I think the the manger was riight because it one person takes a break the other employees have to pick up the salck.
779	high	He would feel frustrated instead of appreciated. The manager should apologize and explain himself.
780	high	I think the worker got back to work. The worker had a scowl on his face while he went back to work. The worker probably talked behind the manager’s back after the manager left the room.
781	high	I think the worker might have cut their break short and gone back to work. But they are probably very resentful of the manager and​won’t be and easy employee to deal with.
782	low	I would imagine the worker realized the manager was under a great of pressure from his superiors and probably thought it might have been the wrong time to take a break. After the project is finished everyone will get back to normal.
783	high	I’d imagine nothing punitive would happen to the manager if the culture is as previously described, and I’d also imagine that the worker’s quality of work would be poorer.
784	low	The worker likely got upset, given that yelling is never professional. Deadlines don’t only secure that the work will be done, but it also gives a worker flexibility to provide their best work during that timeframe - and breaks are an essential part of that process (especially if the work is repetitive).
785	high	I as a worker would have been greatly frustrated and gutted and would have hoped for an apology for the manager. At the very least, the manager should have been reprimanded big time.
786	low	The worker probably felt insulted and belittled and would retaliate by not completing the project or at least not rushing to do so.
787	high	I think that it would be dangerous of making the worker really made because of the way the manager tackled the problem he/she faced with that worker. I think the worker got up to do his/her job but maybe held a deep resentment to that manager and might make this future work environment ugly for the manager.
788	high	The worker is likely to feel resentful, particularly if the worker had been diligently working on the project. The worker may have needed the break for any number of legitimate reasons. Particularly in an environment where considerable back-stabbing is happening, the manager might need to be worried that the worker would sabotage the project out of resentment.
789	low	I think that the consequence was probably being reported to the HR department for this behavior.
790	high	It’s possible the manger needed every hand on this project and that the one worker was not really putting effort in their performance.
791	high	They might have worked harder and more smarter to finish the job or ask someone for advice if they are a strong worker. If they aren’t a strong worker that might have led them to be more afraid or stressed possibly and it might not have helped them at all
792	low	I think the worker was upset, but worked harder to appease the manager.
793	low	I assume the worker was upset at being yelled at, but probably understood the situation and that the manager was under a different sort of pressure themselves. There was probably some resentment, but in hindsight the worker most likely didn’t take it personally.
794	high	The worker looks like they were humiliated and stressed because of what happened.
795	high	This is the antithesis of good leadership. While management and leadership are not exactly the same thing, if a manager hopes to get the willing support of their subordinates, this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and likely will alienate (or further alienate) the workers. Not just during the outburst, but the fallout of this spreading to other employees will foment even more discontent in the organization.
796	low	I would assume the worker felt a little less of themselves and also embarrassed for probably the entire rest of the work week. I would also imagine they made a complaint about the way they were yelled at.
797	low	The worker probably picked up the pace - momentarily - but with an eye roll and the intention to go right back to the previous pace as soon as the boss walked away.
798	high	The worker probably no longer liked or respected the manager. By showing up an employee like this the manager put that employee in a really bad spot. If I was treated like that I would leave the job.
799	low	The manager yelling at the employee did not reflect positively on either. It was a counteractive measure that could be detrimental to the team moral.
800	high	The worker probably felt completely demoralized, angry, and upset. They’d likely either shut down and do the bare minimum, or seriously consider looking for employment elsewhere. Either way, trust in that manager and the company as a whole suffered a huge slip in morale.
801	high	A manager faced undue pressure to complete unnecessary tasks ahead of schedule. Subsequently, the manager misled the team regarding a deadline and promised bonuses, which were ultimately awarded to senior management.
802	low	I would assume considering the work environment that the worker was startled and surprised. In my personal experience I had a manager once that me and my team loved in my first job. We got shouted at for something similar and had this reaction I wrote about above. But since we liked the manager, we personally felt that we screwed up and we went above and beyond finishing work much earlier than usual to make up for it. And at the end he apologized to us and praised us for our response. So I think this worker may have reacted similarly.
803	low	i believe the worker was shocked and started doing what the manager wanted.
804	low	I would focus on supporting my own team by providing clear expectations and providing consisten communication
805	low	the worker probably has less respect for the manager. Becoming more resistant to listening to the manager after the incident.
806	low	The worker was probably flustered and defensive by the unprofessional behavior of the manager. Then the worker most likely cut their break short and begrudgingly went back to work to complete the project.
807	high	I don’t think there was any consequence to the behavior. I hope the worker said something to vouch for themselves.
808	high	I imagine that the worker who was taking a break which was probably a deserved break because you need them every now and then ended up being either angry at the Manager and return perhaps yell yelling at him or perhaps a controlling sobs and/or crying. Ask for the manager if nobody reported him he probably got away with screaming and yelling at his employees Scott free.
809	high	I think the worker who was targeted by the manager simply took the threat seriously and made sure to get the job done.
810	high	I would say the worker would be extremely angry and/or upset and be wanting to quit or leave work early to get away from the toxic work environment.
811	high	The worker was probably fearful and tried to accomplish the work but he made a lot of mistakes because he was rushing.
812	high	i think the worker might be shocked, especially if they were just doing something quick like getting a drink of water or using the bathroom, or even just quickly returning a personal call. But i would guess they would go back to work afterwards and keep their head down and push through it. Given the environment presented, I doubt the manager would face any serious consequences.
813	low	I hope he went to jail For every action there is a consequence

looks good. no one wrote nonsensical responses.

Reflection on workplace environment

PID	cond	reflection
1	high	I would try and make sure that everyone finishes what they need to by the time that it was due.
2	high	I would expect the highest from them and if they underperform, I would fire them
3	low	In this workplace, I would be a good manager, rewarding hard work and trying to promote great workplace collaboration
4	high	I would try to remain as professional as possible, while keeping a positive attitude but also not steering away from my morals.
5	high	I would do my job to the best of my ability and try to find ways to make the job as easy as possible. I would make sure there was no drama but allow downtime when needed to ensure everyone is happy. I wouldn’t get too personal with my workers but I would talk to them as they were my friend.
6	high	I would focus on who I believe to be the best, and who is always on task.
8	low	Generally my policy as a manager is to learn from my employees what they need. In that sense this fits in perfectly with this culture, I’d simply stay up to date with my employees about what they needed and support them.
9	low	I think I would be very good in this situation. I think this is a great situation to be in, collaboration helps everyone get ahead.
10	low	It seems like a good environment. As a manager, I would work to cultivate and maintain that environment of openness and teamwork.
11	low	I would constantly be encouraging feedback and people to tell me things. I would manage based on what they tell me and what the problems they discover so we can all tackle them together etc.
12	high	I would try to maintain order and prevent people from doing anything that is extremely unfair. However, I would reward people for their performance, and I would be quick to fire anyone who isn’t a top performer. I would reward the top performers with more money.
13	low	I would try to be nice to my coworkers, because we’re all deserving of respect in the workplace.
14	high	i’d stay alert and keep an eye on things, focusing on being fair but knowing i gotta play the game too. i’d try to trust a few people but mostly keep to myself.
15	high	If I was a manager on this site I would try and change the culture, even if it was just for my team. I can’t imagine it’s good for the outcomes, and it probably results in a great deal of turnover when people are stressed or burned out, and training new staff takes a great deal of time and resources.
16	low	I would try to foster a collaborative work environment where everyones needs and ideas are put into account. I would also try to foster kindness, compassion, and hard work.
17	low	I would be very comfortable and supportive towards my supervisee
18	high	I’d probably call that employee in to talk because that’s an insane way to talk about your workplace. I’d call a team meeting as well, letting others voice their concerns to me so we can change the toxic environment.
19	high	I would still try to make the best of it. I would try to promote the ones that deserve it and work the hardest.
20	low	I would not micromanage these employees, as they seem capable of doing their work and able to work harmoniously with each other. Since they seem to have things under control, I’d want to manage collaboratively with them so that I can get a lot of their input on decisions.
21	low	as a manager in this environment, i would focus on fostering a supportive and results driven team by maintaining clear communication. I would lead by example, staying adaptable to company processes
22	high	I would get to the bottom of what people call “the game”, whether it’s what people call brownnosing or whatever is necessary to get a feel for what changes need to make it a successful and less stressful environment for my employees. If it’s coming from the top and I am restricted in what I can do, I’ll simply pursue what I can and advocate for my employees as necessary in office meetings.
23	high	I would be very stressed as a manager in the workplace described. I would do my best to try and calm situations down as it seems like there would be a lot of conflict.
24	low	I would continue to encourage workers to collaborate and help each other. I would also reward people who display collaborative behavior with bonuses
25	low	In the workplace provided, I would continue to support the team the best I can. If a place is already being cooperative, then the best thing to do as a supervisor is lift them up and make sure it falls in the scope of company policy.
26	high	I would feel super stressed out trying to manage people in such a hostile work environment. I wouldn’t be able to handle such an environment.
27	high	I would try to remain as indifferent as possible, and try to stay out of the drama. Rather than perpetually involve myself in office politics I wouldn’t say anything most times and try to simply do my job and return home each day.
28	low	I would be cooperative and try to work with others, and try to avoid being annoying or uncooperative
29	low	I would talk with my employees often and make sure that they were being heard. I would treat everyone with respect and offer my assistance at any time.
30	low	I would make sure employees are content with what they are doing, their is fairness, EVERYONE gets to state their opinion, and listen to all employers.
31	high	I would do my best to alleviate the cut-throat nature of the office by encouraging collaboration between colleagues. I would try to foster teamwork rather than individual gain.
32	low	I would be pretty hands off, issuing assignments and allowing the members of my team to collaborate as they see fit. I would check in periodically, but not bother the team with requests for status over what was absolutely necessary. These are all adults whom we can trust to get the job done.
33	low	I would love to work in such a place, I would be able to rely on my workers and help them out when they needed it as well.
34	low	I would be open to input and collaboration with the employees under my authority. I would be friendly, but a little distant to maintain professionalism
35	low	I would act in a way that is understanding to employees. I have been in the position where I found myself loathing work culture due to the culture of the place I worked, and I don’t want my employees to feel the same way.
36	high	I would do my best to help people. I would try to listen to them and do what I can.
37	low	I would encourage communication and collaboration among my team. I would try to not micro manage and allow the supportive nature of the workplace to provide the structure they need.
38	high	I think this would be very difficult to navigate as a manager, especially if you cant really influence the culture in anyway. I don’t really have managerial experience, so I’m not sure what exactly I would do in this situation. Just attempt to manage my employees the best I can I guess. I would try to make the environment more positive.
39	high	If I were a manager in this work environment, I would most likely resort to trying to maintain every advantage I have, even if it means I have to put myself first. I would most likely not go out of my way to help other people at my level, but I would try to mentor those I’m supervising to contribute to the collective strength of our department.
40	low	I would continue to adopt this method of thinking and encourage it. It seems really healthy the way this member of my team feels. Also, I feel that as a manager, if you take care of your team members, they will continue to do a great job in taking care of your business. You will also retain your team members longer.
41	high	If I were the manager in this environment, I would probably not want to delegate work to anybody in case they try to take over my job. I would watch my back because someone might be trying to find any mistake i make to ruin me.
42	low	I love the workplace vibe, so I would follow it to the best of my ability as I keep this phrase with me: if you respect me, I respect you. I would show the employees that I am someone to rely on and we are better as a team, so we can accomplish more throughout the day.
43	high	I will try and make sure that they work environment was as least stressful at any given moment that they were free and I would give my full support to my staff
44	low	As a manager I would supervise as I was doing before allocating task to workers with no consideration of opinion since the work environment is friendly and they like to work with each other.
45	high	I would try my best to adapt and work with others. I would work hard and do my job.
46	low	I would perform regular check-ins with people to see how their work is progressing, and if they’re staying on target with a deadline. In the event someone is having problems, I would see how I could help out and support the employee by providing them with what they need.
47	high	I would try to at least keep peace between workers since no one can really trust one another. I would likely be strict about rules since the environment appears to be very competitive and cutthroat.
48	low	I would be open and transparent with each of my employees. I would ask them to do the same with me. In this way, we would have open communication and not leave any questions unanswered.
49	low	I feel like we would have a lot of meetings to collaborate on projects and communicate so we could work better as a team.
50	high	If I were a supervisor in that work environment I would likely be a micromanager. I’d make sure all of my employees are doing their very best to adhere to my standards, because if I didn’t my job would likely be on the line and it would definitely make me ineligible for any promotions.
51	low	I would be completely supportive of my team since this workplace is all about teamwork and being supportive. I would continue to push that narrative and be supportive as well. I would also delegate tasks to others to make them feel more involved and part of a team.
52	low	I would continue on the good path that has been set for me, I’d do my best to make sure the workplace stays supportive and team oriented.
53	high	I would require groups to start working in teams. Trying to get them to understand that you’re not working against one another but together. And in doing so learn that this is what the company expects of you and that in the long run you will move further in the company being non-competitive with your peers.
54	low	I would be supportive, show love and be a great impact and leader to my workers, make sure they are at ease whenever they are in the work environment to motivate them to work hard and be dedicated.
55	high	I would ask the employee what they think needs to be done to increase cooperation and team work.
56	low	I would be supportive, and do my best to ensure everyone was being treated well while doing their work. In addition I would make an effort to ensure everyone was getting the help they need to accomplish their work, and goals. I would always want people to come for me if they needed help or had a question. All in all I would do my best to make the environment effective and helpful.
57	low	I would ask the employees for their input. I would trust them to do what they are asked to do.
58	high	If I were a manager in this environment, I would keep as much information as possible close to my chest. Only pieces of the big picture would be given to select employees.
59	high	I feel like working as a manager in this situation would be pretty tensed since people might always be on edge around each other. I would try to keep the mood light and probably have to change the culture here.
60	high	U would try to address this issue by creating more teamwork events or activities to foster a positive environment.
62	high	I would be very mindful of how I treat my coworkers. I would ensure that the workplace is not too cutthroat and make it as comfortable as I can for everyone.
63	low	I would trust my employees to complete their work without much supervision. I would encourage collaboration and open dialogue so everyone works together and is on the same page.
64	high	I owuld keep my self separate from my employees and share nothing personal. We would be goal oriented and there would be littel to no work culture.
65	high	I would try to maintain my own decency while making it clear that in this workplace results are all that matter and I have to answer to my own managers
66	low	I would try and be as supportive as possible to the staff. I would try to be the best manager.
67	low	I would support my staff in their efforts, and push them to help each other grow even more. It sounds like overall, the staff are on the right track.
68	high	In this case, I feel that I would need to micro-manage employees in this type of setting. When it comes to the environment being cut-throat and dog-eat-dog, I would need to have an extremely stern and strict method of managing in order to maintain order of the workplace.
69	high	I would try to communicate effectively and give everyone the opportunity to succeed. I would encourage kindness
70	low	I would as a manager be honest with my team if things needed to done or changed.
71	low	I would try to maintain a positive attitude. I would commend teamwork and always be encouraging and supportive.
72	high	If I were a manager here, I’d have to watch my employees like a hawk. They may be more focused on trying to one-up each other than actually getting their work done.
73	low	I would give the workers the benefit of the doubt. To have true cooperation, we would have to trust each other. I wouldn’t overly question them and I would allow them a lot of freedom.
74	high	I would always be on guard and choose my words carefully. I would tell people what they want to hear and try to get the important people on my side.
75	high	As a manager I would be very guarded. I would try to ensure my position as manager is secure and that no one else is gunning for it.
76	low	In this work environment I think it would be a great place to manage. Everyone works together.
77	high	Even though the workplace is competitive, I would still encourage everyone to be friendly to each other. I would give them or suggest tasks that require teamwork / ones where if one person fails, then everyone fails. I would also try to organize events outside of work where everyone can get to know each other outside of their professional lives so that the tension between workers is decreased. At the end of the day, while the workplace may still be cutthroat, I still want people to have good relationships with each other.
78	high	I would probably be walking on eggshells as a manager because it sounds like a high stress environment, especially for the low men and women on the totem pole. I would try to be nice and friendly and bring as much positivity as I could to the workplace.
79	low	If I were a manager in this scenario, I would do my best to be kind and supportive of all of my employees. Fostering an environment of care and cooperation would be my top priority, and I would want to ensure that every employee has the tools that they need for success.
80	high	I would try to be aware of the overall culture in this workplace and even if I couldn’t change it, I would try to be fair in my dealing with others. Ultimately I can only be responsible for myself and my own actions. Because of this, and because I want to set a good example, I would only try to undermine malicious intents of others.
81	high	As a manager, i will loike to lead by example by assisting the staff on how to complete task and also be willing to help them navigate any challenge they might have. Like the saying says, there is no I in Team. Team work makes the dream work
82	high	As a manager I would have to be ruthless and not afraid of anything. I would have to act against my best interest to continue my success at the company.
83	high	In this type of workplace, I would have to ignore what goes on and continue managing.
84	low	I would love working in this type of environment. It is so disheartening when employees don’t support each other. A business can really thrive from this type of environment.
85	high	This is difficult. If I could not impact change in this environment, as a manager, I would challenge my individual employees with goal oriented incentives. I would not micromanage. I would get to know my employees so that I could be someone they could trust.
86	low	I would be proud of my team and their ability to work together. I would continue to encourage their team mentality.
87	low	If I was a manager at this workplace I would try to make sure everyone got along as well as me getting along with the worker to make the work we do go as smooth as possible. Having trust would make any issues that happen easier to solve.
88	high	This would be very difficult to work in. But id have to try to stay on top and push everyone to do high performances and find out which workers I can rely on
89	low	I would prioritize effective communication and actively listen to my team’s concerns to foster a supportive atmosphere
90	low	I would listen to my employees inquiries and requests. I would treat them fairly and kind. I would remember that they are human and that humans make mistakes sometimes. I would try to make them feel comfortable with coming to me with issues that arise without fear.
91	high	I would be encouraging and try to raise the morale of the team. Since the people are so competitive, it might be good to offer bigger bonuses to the best performing employee.
92	low	If I was a manager in this work situation, I would try to uphold the current culture, since it seems to be positive. I would spend extra time collaborating with others on my team since it is such a cooperative workplace.
93	high	As a manager, I would have frequent team “bonding” exercises to help my employees get to know each other better and lessen any hostility between them.
94	low	I would be open minding and willing to listen to all of my employees. I want my employees to feel like we are a team and can rely on each other to reach our mission objective.
95	high	If this was the kind of place I worked at, I think I would be on edge a lot of the times. This place sounds extremely tense and nerve wracking. I can see myself letting it get to me one or two times and lashing out.
96	high	I would first sit everyone in the company or on the team down to have a big chat. You will then have to earn your way to get promoted, you shouldn’t have to play “the game” in order to do good.
97	high	If i were to work in this environment I feel that I would have to pay close attention to who is doing the best job. Since it is so competitive, I would have to make sure that those who succeed are recognized.
98	low	I would enjoy managing this workplace. People seem to help each other, are hardworking, and know their jobs well. Managing people who take their work and place of work seriously would be a great place to work.
99	low	I imagine an office full of cubicles where it’s easy to collaborate with other colleagues.
100	high	I would make sure that the field is fair. I would make sure that no one is undermining each other, or for lack of a better term screwing anyone over.
101	high	As long as no one is breaking any of the company policies it can continue as is. It is hard to say exactly without knowing what the job is but it seems like this is the normal for this workplace.
102	low	I would feel proud and happy to work in this workplace as a supervisor. I would be happy to work with my team and help everyone to thrive and be successful at their job.
103	low	If I were a manager in this given scenario, I would do my best to match the positive environment and also be a team-player. I would try to be as supportive as possible, be efficient in my work, and try my best to uphold the positive work space that has been cultivated by the other workers. I would also do my best to not be obnoxious as a manager.
104	high	I would treat others with kindness and respect and be as likable as possible. I also think that keeping my nose down and work as much as possible while ignoring high school drama would be beneficial.
105	high	If I were the manager, I’d feel like I couldn’t trust anyone I worked with to do their job or be honest with me in any kind of way. I would probably try and find a better work environment, not something as nasty and cutthroat ans having my coworkers be like that.
106	high	I would be miserable as a manager in a horrible work environment like that. I think what I would do since I couldn’t change it is just be as kind to everyone as I could be and try on my end to be as fair as possible to everyone so they at least had some moments of happiness in their miserable rest of their days
107	high	I would stand strong against negative and underhanded intent with the employees. I would remain open and willing to listen to all input.
108	high	I would try to make sure that everyone was doing that they need to but also that they are acting good to each other.
109	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would try to make my employees feel like they could trust me. Trust is the foundation for a happy and productive workplace. I would reward loyalty and kindness over manipulation. I would try to take an objective view in conflicts and not let my personal feelings get in the way.
110	high	If, as a manager, I could not change this environment, I would try to find a way to make it as healthy as possible. If it’s not possible to have employees trust each other and work together, I would encourage individuality and try to promote healthy competition.
111	low	I would be understanding if people showed up a little late, or needed to leave early. i would ask what i could do to help on certain projects or tasks that seemed overwhelming. i would lead by example.
112	low	Yeah, I mean, I think that it would be a good environment to work in and it will be easy to motivate my team
113	low	I would be super supportive of my team and make sure they had what they needed. Since my leaders trust me to make decisions and manage my team effectively, I in turn would trust my team to execute their work and want to mostly be a support for them to do their jobs, for career development, and for whatever else they need.
114	high	I actually have personal experience with this feeling having a fortune 500 background. Something you learn in cut throat style corporates is in a very intrinsic way, an employee is their own boss and own brand, meaning the common welfare of a work place is only really regulated by the perspective of a company and any state laws they may or may not violate. In other words, you have to adapt to harsh environments knowing that a single individual cannot change it alone.
115	high	This sounds like a tough situation. I think I would do my best to try to help everyone else get along, and mediate between conflicts.
116	high	I would keep my head on a swivel for the sake of my own employment. I would judge my subordinates fairly evaluating the quality of their work. I would try to nuture collaboration.
117	low	If I was a manager in that set up. I would be helping my employees and just trying to set up everyone for success. The people that hired management would be wanting the kind of people that would do that.
118	high	I would strive to make things more collaborative. I feel this sets up companies for failure.
119	low	I would encourage team work and collaboration. I would let all the employees know that they can come to me at any time, if they’re having problems with anything to do with work.
120	high	I want everyone to do their best and compete with each other so that way it makes people work harder when they compete with each other. I would allow workers to take advantage of others after all it’s a dog eat dog world. The strong survive.
121	high	If I was in this situation, I would want my employees to know I am there for them. Additionally, I would expect them to work hard.
122	high	In this environment I would act ambiguous and also make decision with an avenue that allows me an ability to maneuver in a different direction based upon the ebbs and flows of the day.
123	low	I would try and organize more group meetings in order to inspire collaboration. Would also try and pair people to work on projects together. Since it seems people work best together.
124	low	I would focus on continuing to foster a calm and open environment for employees.
125	high	I would do my best to keep my employees calm and stress free as possible. I would let them all know I have their back and will help them with their goals and their needs.
126	low	I would encourage others to cooperate with each other because this is what our workplace thrives on and is built upon.
127	low	i would feel olike it’s pretty draining. i would not want to do this full time. it would feel like it’s hard to tell other people to do things.
128	low	That sounds like a very nice environment to work on, let alone manage. I would be happy and content, and try to maintain such a workplace environment.
129	low	As a manager I would give my employees a lot of autonomy and creativity in how they choose to get their jobs done. Since it is already a culture where trust is established and it is collaborative, as a supervisor that means I can give my team a directive and allow them to approach it in the most efficient way they see fit unless there is a specific procedure.
130	high	This environment seems like it would be very high stress. It seems like no one would trust each other and everything would be a competition. I think it would be vital to stay positive and make sure to keep myself as the manager light and approachable while also maintaining order.
131	high	I would think that if I had chosen to accept a management position in a company with sort of culture I would know and accept that I as a manager would be competing with other managers just as those we manage have to compete. Success in such a culture requires shelving any sense of fairness or empathy in favor of beating the metrics achieved by my competitors. I would act exactly like everyone else if keeping my job was my overriding consideration.
132	low	I would always be supportive of my employees and make sure they have everything they need. I would be open to conversations about their work issues and help them solve them.
133	low	I would help those I’m supervising so we can continue a supportive and collaborative workplace
134	high	As a manager in this cutthroat environment, I’d prioritize communication and transparency while fostering a competitive spirit, encouraging my team to excel while strategically protecting their interests.
135	high	I would try to get them to collaborate with one another so they can foster a better and more trusting environment. The collabs could be set tasks that have rewards so they can improve their relations
137	high	I would try to be a supportive manager, one who is understanding of the situation my employees are in.
138	high	I would probably have a high level of confidence in myself. I would treat my employees with a short temper while maintaining high expectations regarding their performance. I imagine that there are many employees at this job, so the overall feeling seems impersonal, which would reflect my attitude as well.
139	low	I would be very supportive of all my subordinates. I will provide guidance to new employees and support their transition into the work environment
140	low	I would try to upkeep the culture of being able to trust one another; I think that’s super important in any workplace. I would be slow to confront and quick to communicate calmy and effectively with my employees.
141	low	It seems like a great place to work. The employees seem to get along with eachother and managers.
142	low	I would feel very excited and competent since everyone gets along. It would be as pleasure to come in everyday.
143	high	If I were a manager, I would make sure everyone understood their tasks and what they have to do. I would also engage with employees and make sure they are okay and not in need of help.
144	low	I would encourage open and honest communication, since teamwork is a priority and hopefully continue to foster the trust and team atmosphere.
145	high	As a manager I would have to keep a careful eye on workers to ensure that they’re following the code of ethics as well as preventing them from sabotaging me.
146	low	I would simply make sure all my employees are diligently doing their jobs. This seems fairly normal work scenario
147	low	As a manager, I would collaborate with the other employees to work together as a team to achieve our workplace goals. I would try to foster an environment that is supportive.
148	low	I would be happy knowing that my staff is able to feel comfortable at work. As long as work is being completed on time, and goals keep being met/exceeded I believe there is no additional supervising that would be beneficial.
149	high	As a manager, I am going to work full of dread at all the fires I have around me day to day. I would probably have to be hands off to deal with all this. I would just let the co-workers sort things out amongst themselves while making sure the work gets done.
150	low	I would act supportive of my staff or team. I would create an environment of teamwork and a safe place to ask for help with any tasks.
151	high	i would tell people that they are correct and need to lookout for themselves if they want to get ahead. i would encourage them to be cutthroat so they can be the best.
152	high	I would do my job and make sure everyone is working. My answer is literally the only possible answer; this question is not based on opinion or experience. The job of the manager is to manage the business, make sure it runs, and make sure the employees are doing their jobs.
153	high	As a manager in this workplace, I would encourage everyone to be courteous of each other, despite how they may feel about that person. I welcome group tasks and enjoy seeing employees grow strong bonds with each other.
154	high	As a manager in a workplace where employees have to compete to succeed, I’d focus on keeping things fair and motivating. I’d set clear expectations, recognize hard work, and make sure competition pushes people to do their best without creating a toxic environment.
155	low	I would continue the status quo unless concerns were raised. I would conduct check-ins occasionally to see what could be improved or if anything needed to be changed.
156	high	I would be as caring as a manager could, I would do nothing that would harm my employees. I also would make sure that I am the kind of manager that can be trusted with any kind of information.
157	high	I would not trust others in the workplace and look out for my own self interest.
158	low	I would definitely love to supervise workers like this. Being supportive and collaborative is a good start to a successful operation.
159	high	I would let each of my employees know that they are all on the same level. To create an environment of distrust and greed is to create a workplace that isn’t worthy of coming to, and that isn’t fair to anyone involved.
160	high	As a manager in this workplace I would observe all employees. Paying attention to their actions, attitudes, teamwork, and how they react when put under pressure.
161	low	With a high level of cooperation and collaboration I imagine there wouldn’t be a whole lot for a manager to do with a group like that– mostly to ensure that everyone is on track and meeting their headlines, and to communicate their needs to the upper levels if necessary.
162	low	If i were a manager, I would try to be as transparent and communicate a lot with my team. Open dialogue and collaboration are keys to having good teamwork.
163	low	I woul try to treat emplyees with respect and help them in any way possible. I would try to hire people that work for the betterment of the team.
164	low	I think this environment would work smoothly I would have a corw group of people to work with and get things handled efficiently
165	high	I would quit. I am not competing with other people so I can pay my bills.
166	high	I would look for the weakest employee and fire them as soon as possible. I would then control the rest of the workers with the fear that they might be next.
167	high	Try to team build and foster a better working environment, find ways to encourage unity
168	low	I would be make sure that all of the people I supervised felt comfortable with giving me feedback and even constructive criticism. I would put a lot of effort into fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce.
169	low	As a manager, I would embrace the culture and stay observant.
170	high	If it’s not something I could change, I would try to foster more team building to shift mind-sets. Perhaps some outside activities or a pizza Friday, something to make employees feel they are part of a team in the end, and while it is individual efforts that drive the business, we are all part of the same team.
171	low	I think if I was a manager in this workplace I would be able to feel comfortable and not be a manager who watches employees every move. It sounds like it is an environment of mutual respect where employees do their duties and management is supportive not over bearing.
172	low	I will strive to foster open dialogue among my workers and the rest of the team. My goal would be to maintain a culture and environment that is as welcoming as my team needs.
173	low	Since the employees already feel supported, I would do everything in my power to maintain that atmosphere. Making myself available to them, but also letting them do their jobs without micromanaging.
174	low	I as a manager will definitely have the smoothest time supervising them since they work as a team and very supportive of each other and the fact that they trust each other that really makes me very energetic and have much will to work with a team like this because i know the output at work will be amazing and it will boost the organization
175	high	If I was a manager, I would tell people to only focus on their work, to not help or care about others and be very competitive, trying to be the best in the workplace.
176	low	It seems like there are no problems between co-workers so I wouldn’t have to deal with that. I would check in on them as a group and individually on their progress with their work every day or multiple times a day if needed.
177	low	As a manager in a supportive environment, I would empower my workers to take initiative in their own work. They should not feel micromanaged and have the autonomy to complete work by themselves, while receiving constructive feedback when necessary.
178	low	As a manager, I work to support workers as much as possible. We are a cooperative and cohesive group.
179	low	As manager I would listen with respect to all concerns others would have and be nonjudgmental
180	high	I think I would force teammates to work in groups to try and combat the atmosphere of cut throat and make them all accountable for each other. I think I would also try to stay very neutral on the team.
181	low	I would make sure that everyone’s voices are heard. I would let everyone have the chance to advance
182	low	As a manager in this environment, I would focus on maintaining a calm and neutral approach, trying to avoid drawing attention to mistakes and instead directing focus on finding solutions. I would also subtly encourage open communication by asking questions that prompt reflection, though I’d be cautious about pushing too hard in an atmosphere where speaking up could lead to negative consequences.
183	high	I would try positive reinforcement. I’m not sure on the exact positive reinforcement beings I don’t know the specific job but I would I also reinforce that everyone must be respectful.
184	high	I would encourage employees to rely on one another instead of competing with each other. Collaborative team environments are more productive and enjoyable to be in than competitive ones.
185	low	Should I be in a cooperating atmosphere managing employees, I would be proud and ensure those employees, that my door would always be open to any concerns they may have.
186	high	I would be a very strict manager. I would have high standards and be willing to fire people easily in order to keep up with the fast pace environment.
187	high	If I were in this situation, I would do as much as I could possibly do to help employees working in this cut throat situation. I wouldn’t be able to do much, but I would do what I could to make the environment less stressful.
188	low	I would continue to help support this worker in every way that I can in keeping with the team culture of this workplace.
189	low	I would do my best to be understanding of my workers and try to be a positive leader.
190	low	In this workplace, I think I would be a very involved and supportive manager. I would encourage my team to work together to build each other up and assist each other with achieving their goals.
191	low	I would feel grateful for having a work team that gets along and appreciates each other. I would act fairly and treat my team with respect.
192	low	I would feel good to be in such an environment. It was described as supportive and cooperative which is what I prefer.
193	low	I would take into account every enployeew concerns before making any big decision. They are the backbone of any company, not the boss
194	low	i would confront the problem and try to resolve it in a even manner. i would try to make everyone happy with their workplace and coworkers.
195	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would attempt to prevent workers from trying to advance their own careers at coworkers’ expense. I feel that for the workers to be productive they need to focus on the work itself and not focus on perceived competition from other employees.
196	high	If I were a manager navigating workers within this environment, I would bring the team together on a weekly (maybe a few times a week to start) and talk through what they would like to see change. Although I wouldn’t be able to make the changes myself, open discussion may help other see that they aren’t the only ones that feel like they are in such a competitive, cut-throat environment and could help change their behaviors as a team.
197	high	I would reinforce everybody’s positions at the company and make sure to try to get a cohesive team that don’t work against each other but for each other.
198	low	i would focus on fostering communication and providing clear expectations to ensure that all workers feel supported and guided in their roles
199	low	I would be interested in upholding a collaborative environment in which all employees can be heard. I would make sure that teamwork was put and utilize in-person meetings and collaborative software such as Microsoft Teams.
200	low	as a manager in this supportive environment, i would actively encourage collaboration by recognizing and praising efforts, as well as providing opportunities for open communication to build trust. I’d lead by example, fostering transparency, sharing credit for victories, and making sure everyone feels valued for their contributions to our collective success.
201	low	I think I would thrive in this situation. I would make an effort to get to know everybody.
202	low	If I were a manager in this situation, I would be collaborative, just as my teams members are. I would lead by example, but not micromanage. I would trust my team members to do their jobs well, and to treat other team members with respect. I feel that if I managed this team, I would feel confidence in their operations without me present.
203	low	I would enjoy working as a manager for a company like this. My team would feel like friends or family, compared to just coworkers. I would enjoy helping out my team whenever neededn
204	high	I would try to be a friend to everyone even though it’s a very cut throat situation.
205	low	I would do my best to support my colleagues in this environment. I’d feel comfortable and motivated to maximize my work performance.
206	low	I would love to be a manager of this team. It appears as though the team overall is always willing to help out wherever is needed and really works as a team. I would be more of a hands off manager and let them continue to complete their work.
207	high	Even if there’s nothing I could do about the situation, I think I would still try to keep everyone motivated and on task. It certainly is stressful but if everyone does their work I think it would be at least a little helpful.
208	high	Since it’s such a cut throat kind of job I guess I would try to make sure people don’t play too dirty. People should try to be some kind of moral when trying to get ahead.
209	high	If I was a manager in this workplace, I would feel as though I had to be very cautious about the behaviors others engaged in. Due to the competitive environment, I would be constantly on guard and making sure that the employees were not engaging in any harmful behaviors.
210	high	I would try to just go with the flow and not cause any grief for any of my subordinates. It’s a shitty workplace, so why make it worse?
211	low	Well, in real life I’ve been a manager before and really hated it, but I think I may actually enjoy it if I were a manager at this workplace. It’d be nice to actually act supportive and help people out.
212	high	If I had to work in a situation like that as a manager, I would not want to take advantage of others and would not want to see anyone else doing that in the workplace. I would probably speak to my employees and make them understand that maybe the work is cutthroat and competitive, but that in no way means you throw coworkers under the bus to get yourself ahead as that is just morally wrong and unjustifiable. Instead I would teach them how to work together to help eachother get ahead.
213	low	I would treat my employees fairly and would make sure I am helping them be more effective workers. I would try to be helpful and collaborative for the team.
214	high	i would try and change the atmosphere and make it a better work environment for everyone
215	low	This would be an ideal environment. The employees are cooperative, and they help each other out. It would encourage and praise the teamwork and comradery.
216	high	I would find it difficult but I would do my best to try and decipher who is truly putting in the best overall work versus who is simply trying to take credit - and throw others under the bus.
217	low	As a manager, I would feel productive and able to handle multiple scenarios and conflict. I would be confident in all areas of work.
218	low	I would be a collaborative manager who works well with their team and take feedback they have. I would be warm and inviting to talk with and enjoy the company of my coworkers
219	high	As a manager it is your job and responsibility to navigate any culture or environment, so I would adapt and adjust to get the job done.
220	low	I would encourage the current workplace culture to the best of my abilities. I would be proud to run a workplace that emphasizes team work and cooperation. I would hold morale boosting events and give opportunities for smaller teams to work together on projects rather than individual work loads. I would also willingly listen to observations and thoughts from my staff as a way to instill this sense of belonging.
221	low	I would act as hands-off as possible with my workers in this environment. They seem to do well when they collaborate and communicate openly, and too much oversight might stifle this.
222	low	if i were managing in this enviroment i would focus on maintaining clear comunication providing consistent support to my team and leading by example to foster resilience and adaptability within the constraints of the existing culture i’d priritize listening to my team’s concerns and finding small practical ways to improve morale and productivity even if broader changes weren’t possible
223	high	I would use this knowledge to get the best work out of everyone. Most likely, I would regularly bring up achievements of team members when they occur to bring the competitiveness out of my team.
224	high	I would try to keep it as civil as possible. Since I couldn’t change the culture.
225	high	I would try to change the climate this worker described. It’s toxic. I would ask if others agree, if if they were “playing the game” to get ahead at each other’s expense. Then I would gradually try to make success about the company, not the individuals.
226	high	I will make sure to carry out my assignment like every other person that same day and admonish them to do better
227	high	As a manager in a “cutthroat environment,” I would take a step back to try to understand why things are the way they are. If at all possible, I would want to make things easier for the entire team, where someone doesn’t have to take advantage of someone else just to get by. This is easier said than done.
228	high	As some who natural prefers to avoid conflict I would try to do my best to carry out the duties of my job without feeding into the negative atmosphere. I don’t actually know how long I could last in a role like that.
229	low	I would be always accessible, approachable and open, helpful, ready to assist, care about my subordinates, ideas, issues and/or concerns.
230	high	I hope I can change the atmosphere of this workplace altogether. It sounds very stressful, and I’m not sure how anyone would actually enjoy working there.
231	low	I would check in on the welfare of my employees and build a family like atmosphere. I would focus on caring about my employees individually while also managing the business.
232	low	I would be happy to work in a place like this where my co- workers feel like this and they feel supported and can trust other workers. Its important to work and feel support and be able to trust others when you need help or if they need help they can ask and depend on you. As a manager i would feel like im doing a great job since others are feeling good and feel like they can trust others here.
233	high	I would try to create a more cooperative atmosphere.
234	high	I would try to keep things as professional, organized, and fair as possible. Environments like this very easily get out of hand with gossip. I would not interact with anyone in a gossipy manner. Any issues I would try to address with evidence, learn communication, and documentation. I would try to keep things organized so the actual work when as smoothly as possible. lastly I would try to keep things very very fair between employees in their duties. Also be extremely clear on expectations and duties to try to avoid additional stress or conflict.
235	low	I’d be sure to incentivize and reward this culture. I’d be happy to work there. I wouldn’t hover a lot, since I’d have faith that they’d work properly.
236	low	I would act very supportive and understanding of people situations. I would find ways I could help out and be encouraging during projects and anything my subordinates needed.
237	low	I would collaborate with the employees and let them know if a task needs to be completed, remind them of deadlines, and encourage them to keep up the good work.
238	high	If I wasn’t able to trust anyone, and had to do anything to get ahead, I would probably take credit for the work of ppl below me, try to figure out who could help me. Not a trust relationship, more of a mutually benefitial alliance.
239	high	I would use this opportunity to bring out the best of those who are below me. In turn, with their success, that would be my project success. And in a cut throat business, I am in close competition with my fellow managers, and I need my team to succeed in order to succeed myself.
240	low	As a manager I would make sure to speak with all my employees daily. I would be supportive and make sure each team member is helped with any issues they may have.
241	low	I would be happy to work in a place that works as a team and helps each other out rather than having to go up to management. I like teamwork
242	low	This sounds like a very positive environment, so as a manager, I would want to ensure it continued to be one. I would continue to encourage collaborative teamwork, promote ideas around employee support and appreciation, and minimize any opportunities for discord and gossip.
243	high	If I were a manager, I would act equally as cut-throat. I would be harsh and critical, but I would still try to keep it respectful. I would want my employees to thrive the way that I did to make it to the top. I think my harshness would be good for my employees.
244	high	As a manager at this workplace, I would do my best to discourage the competitive nature of my employees. I would try to encourage them to support and help each other whenever possible. I don’t think I would enjoy working for this business.
245	low	I would ensure that people are working together to come to solutions on tasks and seeking each others help before coming to me. That said, I’d also make sure no one is being a free rider & everyone is contributing
246	low	I would help out as well because you are in charge of your team. I would be very proud to be a manger of these workers.
247	low	I would not micromanage but rather make sure my employees know I’m there when they need me. I would hold team meetings every few weeks so everyone could check in with one another.
248	high	I would completely overrule this environment where employees felt it necessary to take advantage of others and foster a cooperative environment where employees are incentivized to work together and where success of one employee does not rely on the failure of another.
249	high	I would be an understanding manager. I would try to be fair to every employee
250	low	In an environment, where the workers are supportive of each other is pretty easy. As a supervisor in this situation, I would let the workers work for themselves as they are hardworking and supportive of each others work.
251	high	If this is the prevailing culture, I would feel pretty frustrated. Since I cannot change things I would do my best to avoid adding fuel to the fire. That might be all I could do.
252	high	I would pay attention to the people who are operating in malice and trying to stomp on others to get to the top. I would try to reward those who are honest and put in hard work without compromising their moral character.
253	low	In this situation, being the manager seems to be an easy position to be in considering the work environment they’ve cultivated. with workers working together and for one another leads to more and better productivity from your staff
254	low	This seems to be a good model for workplace. People working together and helping each other. As a manager, I would be relieved at the attitude of the workers.
255	high	In a manager, I would try to act in a kind and fair way to everybody. I know workplace environments can be toxic or annoying, so I would try to make the experience as smooth as I possibly can for everyone. I would want my manager to do the same for me.
256	high	I feel that being a supervisor in this kind of environment is super stressful. Being a supervisor, you should want your employees to do better and being very strict with each other and competitive is not the way to do that. I would feel like I am drowning because, how do you supervise this workplace? I wouldn”t know what to do.
257	high	I’d be very stressed, that’s for sure. It’d be a stressful environment to work in. I’d feel very distrustful of my employees, knowing that they’re all out to get each other and one-up each other, so I wouldn’t feel like I could fully trust any of them.
258	high	I would lead my team in a manner that highlights the positive aspects of being competitive. I would do my best to keep the negative aspects of this environment at a minimum by training and leading by example.
259	high	i would make sure it doesn’t get too competitive and try to maintain somewhat friendly environment
260	low	In this environment the team that I manage are respectable, honest and hard working.
261	high	I would be very careful about what the people are talking about the other. There might be manipulations and lies about the other people, in order to influence my opinion.
262	low	I think this would be a workplace a lot less stressful to work at. I love that there is a lot of teamwork involved.
263	high	I wouldn’t be able to trust what anybody said or did. I wouldn’t know if someone really did something, or not. It would be hard to work in this environment, but I would just try to read people to gauge how honest they are being and whether they are doing their jobs.
264	high	While this workplace has a “cutthroat” atmosphere, as someone with some authority, I would not do that with my workers. Instead, I will try to make it a pleasant, collaborative atmosphere where they can trust each other within my team.
265	low	I would talk less and walk around with a stern face. I find it is better to be feared than loved.
266	high	I would likely try my best to make sure things are somewhat fair between coworkers while not interfering too much.
267	low	I would manage pretty loosely, only directly involving myself if something needs my attention.
268	high	I would restructure the workspace to incentivize collaborative teamwork over individual contribution.
269	low	I would make a concerted effort to be supportive and make myself available to my subordinates. I would do my best to give constructive feedback and delegate tasks in a way that makes sense.
270	low	I think I would like it as I believe most people would get along professionally and there would be a belief that everyone helps and supports each other
271	low	I would motivate the ones I was supervising. It seems from what I read that the employee is very happy in the work environment. I would try to continue in that atmosphere. I would lead those I was supervising by example. With patience and kindness
272	low	I would make sure everyone has what they need to get the job done. I also would check to make sure they get breaks and are healthy.
273	high	If I were managing this workplace I would find a way to make an enjoyable position for everyone so this type of behavior did not exist. I would figure out a way to give each employee an equal task with equal pay. There should not be any need for such cut throat behavior if everyone had equal tasks and equal pay.
274	high	I would try to consider my team as part of myself so that when I am acting in the necessary ways to get ahead, I am operating with my team in my corner as opposed to having my team be who I am competing against.
275	low	As a manager in a collaborative and honest office environment, I’d model that daily in my own behavior and give subordinates a lot of leeway to contribute based on their own expressions of company culture.
276	low	I thought this workplace sounded very positive in general. If I was the manager I would support the collaborative nature that is evident. In my one on one meetings with my staff, I would also encourage them to perform their best and while helping others always helps the team, they should also try to distinguish themselves with strong performance.
277	low	I would be supportive and understanding of all of the employees. I would have all of us work as a team to accomplish our daily goals.
278	low	I would be trusting of my sub-ordinates/colleages to get their tasks done efficiently, morally, and ethically. I would be open to provide them opportunities for growth.
279	high	If I were a manager in such a situation I would work with my boss and my peers to come up with a plan to change the culture. I may not be about to do it myself, but if I can make the case that the business would perform better with a different culture, it could be changed from the top down.
280	high	I would create projects for everyone to get involve in and see who is the best. I would use this data to see who can do what the best and rely on them for certain task. I would drive competition to motivate people to work hard.
281	high	I would be pretty lenient about most things. Considering I also have to abide by these rules.
282	high	I’d provide clear guidance, set realistic expectations, and support my team to keep things efficient and collaborative
283	high	I will try to keep the moral up in the workplace. I would encourage and promote team work. I will promote employees who work well others and likable among peers. Hopefully this will convince others to do what is right to get ahead.
284	high	I would look away from the underhandedness as long as the department was performing optimally. I’d have to leave my principles at home and just be happy about success.
285	low	I would be a mentor when needed, a coordinator when necessary and most importantly would give a lot freedom and space for maneuvers to my direct reports
286	low	I would continue to be supportive and collaborative with my employees. I would want to continue to foster this cooperative workplace environment.
287	low	I would try to encourage collaboration between workers. This would also include seemingly non work items to try to encourage a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
288	high	I would try to find a way to minimize the cut throat atmosphere. Those types of personalites are bad.
289	high	I would try to be able to listen to anyone that has something to say. look for resolutions, if possible to maybe keep the hostility and competition down.
290	high	I would do my best to instill a positive environment that encourages my employees to put their best foot forward.
291	low	I would feel happy to have employees working together for the same goals. Having people who seem happy and understand to importance of teamwork is a real treasure for a manager.
292	high	I would be very stressed out. I would have to be tough towards these employees
293	low	This is would be a decent work environment. I WFH so no big deal.
294	low	As a manager, I would support collaboration on the team and encourage employees to work together on projects. I would emphasize that we are a team all working towards the same goal, it is not man-to-man defense. If one team member is having a hard time with the work, we step in and do what we can to support that team member, not just leave them to fend for themself.
295	high	I would act humbly and be careful about decisions. I would also be very punctuali
296	low	Day to day I would have group meeting with all employees to check up on everyone’s progress and make sure everyone is staying in task. We would also make sure everyone feels like they are treated fairly and collaborate equally.
297	high	I’d probably employ more team projects and general oversight as a method of controlling while also insulating myself from any future repercussions. i would be extra careful about anyone vying for my position and make sure I don’t give them an opportunity to jeopardize my career.
298	high	I’d take advantage of the situation by generating more competitions among my underlings, in the hope to drive more performance out of them.
299	low	I would make sure that everything was was done correctly and one time. It sounds like it would be easy to manage.
300	high	I would quit my job. I don’t want to deal with that.
301	high	I would try to protect the people in my team from the cut throat attitude that seems to be present in the rest of the company. I would make it known to my group that they can perform well without backstabbing. It may be difficult to change the prospective of the people working on my team, but it has to start somewhere.
302	low	As a manager, I would take advantage of the positive climate to forge and strengthen the connections between the employees. These connections, when monitored, should lead to reliance and accountability.
303	low	I would be supportive to my team and make sure they know they can be open and honest with me about anything.
304	low	I’d want to foster this environment of cooperation because it seems both good for the company and good for individual employee morale.
305	low	i would auctually love it it seems like a reealy nice and condusive work environment if you ask me
306	high	If i was the manager, I would sit down and reflect on how the current way of handling things is not appropriate and reevaluate on how to do things more positive.
308	low	I would not try to change anything. If the culture is such that people are helping each other, and teamwork is prevalent, it’s already working the way it should.
309	high	I would work on bringing down the team’s unhealthy competitive state. Instead, I will give them projects that involve them working together.
310	high	I would honestly be really stressed out in an environment like this, and somewhat afraid/fearful. I would be a lot more stern than I would typically be, and would be less lenient on employees- I would micromanage more of their work and give them less freedom to work the way they want.
311	high	I would hold short meetings twice a week to ensure that everyone lends each other a helping hand instead of competing with one another.
312	low	Everyone seems to get along well, so being a manager for this workplace sounds like it would be fulfilling
313	high	I would try to keep emotions regulated and make sure people are not hurting or abusing their co-workers or clients. I would try to keep moral up and descalate and problematic situations by keeping people on work related tasks.
314	low	As a manager I would continue to foster collaboration and teamwork. I would also look for ways to continue to support one another and strengthen bonds. I would let my employees know they have my full support and that they can reach out to me for anything.
315	high	Working in such a toxic environment would make it very difficult to function effectively, so even though I might not be able to make a larger difference, I would try. I would work closely with my employees and learn more about them. I would also foster an open door policy where they would hopefully feel comfortable talking about any workplace issues.
316	high	it would be fun in the sense that I’m competing and trying to play games
317	low	I would be very happy as a manager, since my employees would be mostly responsible for one another and there would likely not be too many interpersonal issues brought to me. I would hope to maintain this culture of cooperation by designating time for group planning and feedback as well as genuine team bonding opportunities.
318	low	I would encourage people to work together and have positive attitudes. I would encourage one another to help when needed and be very communitive with group.
319	high	I would focus on letting each worker know they need to focus on their own goals and to maintain that consistency daily. Also, I would advise them not to take things at work personally and advise them I am always available to talk to or vent to about issues that may arise.
320	low	I will give advice to my my workers. I will be free and jovial with them so they can be free to ask me any questions

322	low	I would continue to foster the culture of teamwork and supporting each other. I believe that the organization is stronger when people work together to achieve a common goal.
323	high	I would be an understanding supportive manager focused on trying to improve morale. It would be important in a toxic environment to focus on creating a counter-culture.
324	low	I would have a very collaborative approach with my team members. I would ask opinions of experts before making any decisions because they are the experts.
325	high	In this situation, I would act as I normally would act. I treat people with respect and consideration, and I do not like to get involved in workplace politics.
326	low	As a manager in this team, I would like to be able to encourage collaboration and willingness to help each other out. It would be important to me to prevent situations where trust is compromised and isolates individuals.
327	high	To deal with the situation, you need to be open as a manager. Overcommunicate to try and regain trust. Also ensure credit goes where its deserved and opportunities need to be equal.
328	low	As a manager, I would coordinate meetings between various members of the team and try to grow and maintain the relationships in this space. Collaboration leads to success here, and the environment feels very positive, so it might be easy to foster a utopian-like workplace.
329	low	I APPRECIATE YOUR CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES WHEN IT COMES TO OPENING THE ILNES OF COMMUNICATION ACROSS OUR TEAM. I APPERCIATE THAT YOU ACTIVELY LISTEN IN OUR MEETINGS TO ENSURE WE ARE COMMUNICATING WELL.

331	low	Being a manager in a supportive, collaborative environment would be like a gift. It would be less stressful and more personally uplifting.
332	low	I’d be supportive and mindful of everyone’s needs, and I’d be willing to assist anyone in my team. I’d feel responsible for the success of every employee I’m supervising.

335	high	I try to keep the competition healthy and reward people who achieve. I listen to my employees and try to manage everyone’s personalities at once.
336	low	as a manager i would be sure to establish an environment of teamwork and productivity but also addressing the fact that everyone has a life outside of work. we all would work together to ensure that all are recognized as a person and their strengths and weaknesses would be embraced
337	low	As a manager I would try and keep up that teamwork-oriented mentality. I would want the workers I am supervising to be happy and comfortable so that whatever we were working on would get done in a timely manner rather than being stressed and rushing to finish something that may end up having mistakes.
338	low	I would continue with the cooperative environment and keep my team as a real team where everyone is valued and plays a part. My employees would share responsibility in our work.
339	high	I may not be able to change it but I can still manage the workplace in a balanced manner that is fair to everyone and to lessen the affects of a cut-throat environment. as a manager you can still punish bad actors.
340	low	As a manager in this supportive and respectful environment, I would prioritize open communication and actively listen to my team to foster collaboration and mutual respect, ensuring everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute towards our organization objective
341	high	I would try to be fair in the delegation of responsibilities and allocation of objectives. I’d also probably clump them into teams, so at least then it’s not so much “one-on-one” and also temper down management’s expectations whenever possible to release the valve occasionally, so to speak.
342	high	It would be very beneficial to try and change how the ethics are played out in this workplace, as it doesn’t sound like a very good work environment at all. Changes need to be made, such as making it non competitive and more as working together and encouraging my employees to help each other to create a non stressful and more productive work environment.
343	high	I would allow people to strive for their desired success.Cut throat or not.
344	high	As a manager, my fundamental belief is that my job is to remove obstacles for my direct reports. An environment like this is tough for me to operate in. However, I believe that the best way for me to act would be to do what I could to buffer my direct reports from the cutthroat environment.

346	low	I would act in a collaborative manner. I would seek input and feedback from those around me.
347	low	I would continue fostering the supportive culture by encouraging teamwork, recognizing helpful behavior, and ensuring everyone feels appreciated and valued for helping one another.
348	low	I would continue to support and encourage what is happening. Good teamwork and supportive coworkers are great aspects of a work environment. I would also make sure to embody characteristics such as those typed in the paragraph.
349	low	I would keep encouraging people to collaborate and support each other. If being supportive is what it takes to ensure success, then I would keep us on that path.
350	high	I would act professionally with a good attitude. My immediate concerns would be for both the workers I supervise and the company I work for.
351	high	I would not reward those who take advantage of others to get ahead. I would also secretly use my time to try and find a new job.
352	high	I think that the presented work environment would make me operate in a mode of survival of the fittest and I would be concerned for watching out for my own interests rather than the employees I manage. I would be on the defensive to make sure no one could undermine my reputation to get me fired, while also looking for opportunities to get promoted and rise in the ranks of career growth.
353	low	I would just try to help everyone and lift their spirits so we can get our work done. This place seems supportive of each other so I would have to do my part in that too.
354	high	If I was a manger in this situation, I would try my best to focus my attention on those employees that put in their best effort navigating this workplace environment with honesty and integrity. I would try to fairly reward the employees that maintained an honest and hard working attitude while maintaining their integrity.
355	high	On account of this work environment liking arising as a reaction to the actual work itself–commission-based pay or whatnot–I would not attempt to change the culture, but rather act as a support that aids the competitive spirit in this workplace.
356	low	I would make sure to include others in the decision making process, and I would ensure that everyone felt as if his or her opinion was important. I would collaborate with my coworkers and work cooperatively rather than enforcing my will on others.
357	high	The employees that I’m supervising seem to be competitive and want to get ahead in this business. If the results are clear, competition amongst our peers is acceptable and is healthy in a work environment.
358	high	I would tell them to be careful who you trust and don’t get taken advantage of.
359	low	I would focus on teamwork, being that this seems to be the culture of this workplace. I would reward cooperative efforts, even if the results weren’t perfect.
360	low	I would do my best to support others and be positive. I would work to cultivate a collaborative workplace where everyone has what they need and is able to shine.
361	high	I would have a very hard time managing in an enviroment that was unfriendly and cutthroat. I would continue to be myself and work fairly with employees, I would communicate what is expected to do their job and I would hope they would trust me to do their best job.
362	high	i would be vigilant and dominant in the situation. Very hands on take charge kind of manager.
363	low	I would like to be a supportive manager to these employees, almost in a friendly, casual manner. I think this would be best to maintain the closeness among employees and continue to great bond.
364	high	As a manager in this workplace, I would keep a close eye on my employees’ performance and promote accordingly. I’d make sure to keep them motivated to be the best and even better the next time.
365	high	I will be careful and observant keeping an eye on my subordinates’ interactions with each other. I will allow them to perform their work or outdo themselves, but I will also make sure that they are not doing things that are harmful for work or against their coworkers.
366	high	I would work to resist this kind of culture. I would start with trying to have my employees work together towards small common goals.
367	high	I would try to keep information compartmentalized, only giving each worker I manage the necessary information they need, nothing else. Since I don’t caution this type of behavior or management, I don’t know what else to say here.
368	low	To keep it running as is, positive, trustworthy and work as a team employee s are a God sent!
369	low	I would be nice and supportive of people and have a friendly and strong workplace. My workplace needs to be full of honest, hardworking, and trusting people as well.
370	high	I would feel sad if my employees felt this way and if it actually was this way that they actually did work like this. I wonder if there would be any way to change the work system to make it more fair and just reward good work without having it be so cut-throat.
371	high	I would try to offer a way to make the environment better for all and foster a community of growth. I would ask my workers what we can do to make the work day better, how we can ensure everyone is doing their fair share, and how to provide recognition. I would want to improve the work environment for everyone, and hopefully, this will make us more productive.
372	high	If I were in this work environment, I would be very mature and not quick to get an emotional reaction out of. I would understand others are consistently fighting for attention and to appear better than others, so I would not believe everything I hear as well.
373	high	If I was a manager in this workplace, I would try hard to make sure the workers that I am supervising are recognized for the accomplishments, and encourage them to do the things that are necessary to show that they are good workers. I would try to be fair with my team members at least, even if I can’t change the entire work culture.
374	low	I would try and help the team collaborate more often. Rewarding people who offer help and share their information with others.
375	low	According to the writer the work culture and environment is pretty supportive and it would be amazing to be a manager at the company. it is amazing when you know you are not alone and everybody is looking out for you and in return you look out for everyone too. it would be easy to be a manager at this work place. they are gonna be like a family.
376	high	The environment is very cutthroat so there is a lot of managerial aspects that need to be looked at in terms of trying to keep productivity high. The main issue would be trying to get people to get along, and try to have people work well with each other. Since this is such a high stakes environment, I would be very involved with keeping the peace.
377	high	As manager, I would ensure that everyone under my supervision is adhering to work directives and watch for any negative behavior that could impact productivity. Other than that, as long as work is getting completed in a timely manner, it would not affect the workflow.
378	low	As a manager I would be happy that my workers are honest with each other and open with each other. Effective honest communication can work wonders when achieving goals.
379	low	If everyone supported each other and worked as a team, then my job would be much easier. I would act in the way that was already established and try to avoid confilct. I would be kind and encourage everyone and tell them they had done a good job after work. This would not be a difficult as a work environment with unhappy workers who have constant conflict.
380	low	I would start with simple things like asking people how they are what they are interested in. Being personable is very important
381	high	as a manager in a cutthroat environment, I would ensure that my workers had the support they needed. I wouldn’t coddle them, because there might be a reason why that specific workplace is the way it is, but I would ensure they knew that I was there to help.

392	high	I would try to diffuse this attitude in my group since I think it is counter-productive. By fostering trust and teamwork, I think we can perform better.
393	low	I would make sure to take everyone’s opinions and thoughts into account.
394	high	I would utilize work meetings to try and undermine the damaging competitiveness. I would do this by emphasizing that we all have shared goals and that undermining others’ work will not be tolerated.
395	high	As a manager, I would be discriminating and biased in my management of the team, only providing support to those I deemed useful to further my own ambitions.
396	high	I would buffer my staff as much as I could from the cut-throat mentality. I would never supervise in that manner.
397	high	I would maintain a strong authoritative presence ensuring i’m always ahead of the competition

402	high	I think that I would try to encourage everyone to do the best that they can. Competition in itself isn’t terrible. By encouraging them to focus on their own behaviors and what they can control they can be competitive without actively harming one another in any way.
403	high	I would try to make the competitiveness healthy, instead of cutthroat.
404	high	Knowing that I could not change it, I would do everything in my power to go to someone higher up than myself and try to get it to where if I couldn’t make any new changes, then someone else could, or personally I’d walk from a place that toxic
405	low	I would give my employees a good deal of autonomy, as they seem to be able to discuss openly and problem-solve if disagreements or conflicts arise. I would have an “open-door” policy, in that my employees would know that they are always welcome to talk to me.
406	low	I would be happy to work in a supportive & collaborative environment. As a manager, I would discuss goals and issues with employees and be open about expectations, as well as listen to what they need to succeed.
407	low	I would try to keep the environment helpful and cooperative, but also make sure the work gets done and people are working to their best ability.
408	high	I would be neutral and fair with the staff. I would whom ever bought me the assignment would be the one with the credit. I would also make sure that i looked for another job.
409	low	As a manager in this supportive and collaborative environment, I would focus on maintaining open communication and encouraging team members to share ideas and assist each other. I would also make sure to recongize and celebrate team successes, reinforcing the value of cooperation and mutual trust in achieving goals.
410	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would make sure that I had my team’s back. I would run interference for them on some of the political issues/roadblocks to create some space for them to get their actual work done. I believe this is an important role in leadership/management.
411	low	I would respect my workers’ views and the way they do things best. I would spend time relating with them what needs the company has and that my superiors are requesting while giving them positive and negative feedback where need be so we could get stuff done in a harmonious environment where I advocate for the workers’ needs
412	high	I imagine that this is a sales environment where each worker is competing with every one else. I would have to be encouraging to each of my people and try to bring a positive atmosphere to the workplace.
413	high	Most likely I would hate working there and do what I can to get by and blend in until I find a new job.
414	low	In this situation, I would be looking around at my subordinates to see if they needed any assistance or guidance. I would provide help where needed and step in to assist with any tasks that need to be completed.
415	low	i will surely operate with it and make sure every employee operate with it.
416	low	I would take into consideration what my workers are faced with on a daily basis and assist them if needed or direct them to someone who could help them at that time, focusing on keeping the work place cohesive and together.
417	high	I would honestly try my best to not provoke the atmosphere more than it already is. I would attempt to make myself more available for support to my peers and their success in the best way possible without disturbing the energy of the workplace.
418	high	If I was in this environment, unable to change it, then I would be looking out for myself as manager. I would have zero tolerance for mistakes, and would actively hide any if I made them myself.
419	low	I would have a very laid back approach. I would make myself available to help and open to suggestions for improvement in the department.
420	low	I would be generally liberal with the way I managed employees. It seems like a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Where employees support each other enough that they need Little or no supervision. The only time I would see myself becoming a hands-on and confrontational supervisor or manager would be if someone was blatantly taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere and slacking. I would be fair yet firm. I believe supervising in this atmosphere would be something comfortable and something I would like.
421	high	I would need to be very intentional about my interactions with others. I would obviously want to treat my workers fairly, but also protect my own interests.
422	low	I think I would take a relatively hands off approach as a manager in an environment like this. I’d mostly trust the team to work together while doing just enough supervising to make sure everything stays on track. And I’d try to only get involved if someone directly asked me to.
423	low	I would continue to foster good working relationships between the members of the team. I would do a monthly meeting with each team member to check in with them and see where they’re at in their career journey, and ask explicitly what I can do in order to keep things going smoothly for them. I’d also workshop teambuilding activities on a seasonal basis. Finally, I’d provide the option to attend seminars and work with sites like Coursera to provide for more training if the team would like it.
424	low	As the manager working in such team-oriented environment, I’d try to promote team cohesiveness by hosting regular team bonding activities (e.g. happy hours), regular team retreats with specific themes, etc. Also, I would be more open to member feedbacks, and host brain storming sessions with the group regularly to collect their ideas.
425	low	As a manager I would encourage team members to collaborate with each other. I believe this type of work environment is beneficial for the company and for the well-being of workers.
426	high	I would follow the companies standards and policies strictly. I would also try to achieve goals and aim for the best performance.
427	low	As a manager in this challenging work environment, I would focus on fostering open communication and actively supporting my team, encouraging them to share their concerns and ideas without fear of retribution. I would prioritize their contributions and providing constructive feedback, aiming to create a sense of safety and belonging within the constraints of the existing culture.
428	high	I would try and help motivate my team the best I could. It seems that everyone is for themselves so confidence is definitely needed.
429	low	I would present myself as being compassionate yet stern. Maintaining a balance between employee happiness and work production would be a top priority although it seems it wouldn’t be difficult to maintain. I would care about the people I’m supervising while also trusting them and wanting to lift them up in the world.
430	low	I would be friendly and relaxed, checking in on people as needed. I would not feel the need to micromanage in this type of environment.
431	low	it sounds like there is a good culture already in place. i would manage with a light hand. Keep what is in place going.
432	high	As a manager, I’d work on managing emotions. Mainly serve as a sounding board and protect my workers from the bigger bosses.
433	high	I would diversify the workload so that it will be fair and favorable to everyone instead of dog eat dog situation. I will make it in a way that each team will have their field where they can draw clientele from so everyone at the end can cooperate.
434	high	In theory, I would take credit for others’ accomplishments and would not collaborate or share ideas with other managers.
435	low	I would love coming to work everyday working amongst the workers that I manage. I would plan special training and unity meeting on Fridays
436	high	If I worked in this environment I think I would try to act fairly emotionless as a manager, and do my job effectively but without developing personal connections because everyone is out for themselves. It sounds like an environment where you can’t trust anyone, so I would actively be on the lookout for people undermining my authority.
437	low	It seems I wouldn’t have to micromanage anyone. And that I could trust anyone to do the job that is given to them. I would be respectful of others and they would be respectful of me.
438	low	As a manager in this environment I would focus on promoting and maintaining the culture and trust of teamwork by using open communication, sponsoring team efforts, and leading by example. Success would be measured not only by individual successes but the achievements of the team as they support each other.
439	high	I would have to be careful. I would keep an eye on everyone and make sure people are playing fair.
440	low	As a manager in this workplace, I would feel motivated to mentor and develop my team. Also, I would feel supported in terms of my personal growth and career advancement.
441	high	I would try to do my best to keep the atmosphere in the office as congenial as possible so that there are not any disputes, or at least try to defuse the situation as best I can so that it becomes a bit less fraught.
442	high	I would do my best but this is not the type of environment I would enjoy. I would not change my management style, which is to be fair and facilitate a successful team.
443	high	I would do my best to make sure evey9ne felt appreciated and take the time to recognize who did the task and deserves the credit. I would make sure everyone is properly represented and do my best to make sure no one is being taken advantage of
444	low	I have a meeting and assign duties for a project to each team member. I ask for their feedback, and give them timelines. I ask that they get together once a day and check in with each other, bring issues to the team so they can solve them together when possible.
445	high	As manager in this workplace I would watch everyone closely supervising to ensure that all work is being done.
446	high	I would pay more attention to the people that were working hard rather than the people that were trying to suck up to management.
447	low	I would try to have employees work in teams whenever possible and promote honesty.
448	high	I would not hesitate to step on my subordinates and do whatever it takes to get ahead. I wouldn’t help anyone more than I needed to.
449	high	I would be very disappointed that my workplace turned out this way. A competitive workplace like this is like anarchy and would not function well together if everyone doesn’t get along with each other.
450	high	It would be a very stressful environment, so I would make sure that things don’t go over-the-top or extreme. I would also try to create a system where any employees with concerns can talk to me discreetly.
451	low	When direct reports have issues, first encourage them to go to their peers to foster and encourage the cooperative environment. Look for opportunities to reward and acknowledge peer support and cooperation. Try to praise the whole team for accomplishments, not just individuals. Recognize and acknowledge there is a lot of horizontal work being done which isn’t immediately quantifiable or personally reportable.
452	low	Seems that there is a good working environment of teamwork and job satisfaction so I must be doing a good job. If just got hired as manager then DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. Keep it the way it is for at least
453	high	I would put my foot down and express aggressively how we need to work together as a team and that we cannot be fighting like this on a daily basis. If anyone continues this behavior, they will be given strikes and eventually fired.
454	high	I would promote a culture of building up and helping your fellow employees.
455	high	If this were a situation I had to operate in and could not change I would encourage my employees to be as cut throut as possible. From my experience workplace culture is set at top management and there for to keep “my” job I would have to be willing to “play the game” or get another job…
456	low	While, I’m questioning if the workers manage to complete anything on their own and an certain I wouldn’t be the best fit, I’m not really seeing much wrong with the environment. Out send to work for them, why would I rock the boat, go with the flow.
457	low	I would act like a normal person, there is nothing to change, everyone gets along, people are supportive of each other and have a good deal of trust. It would be good to manage these people who get along so well.
458	high	If I found myself a manager in this organization and I truly could not change the culture, I would leave the job. This is not an appropriate culture for workers (or for managers) and I don’t want to support it or help this company succeed. The culture of a workplace is the responsibility of the leadership, after all. While I was preparing to leave, I would do my best to model kindness to my team and if I thought that some of them could be reached, I would have some honest conversations with them 1:1 to let them know that not every workplace is like this, and I would encourage their personal development and aspirations toward a better life that included a better position.
459	high	I would try to operate as honestly as possible. I have been in a similar situation and didn’t enjoy it. I tried my best to do my job but I felt taken advantage of by others.
460	low	Allowing my people to be working but managed to keep their spirits up as much as possible. I will give them breaks when they need them and give them perks to keep them going on their work.
461	low	If I was in the work situation that I read and was in a supervisory role, I would be a manager who worked to foster an environment where my employees knew that I was a dependable and knowledgeable resource. I would ensure that my leadership style was firm but fair, while also giving the impression that I see my employees as humans with real lives and not just work horses there to drive the business forward.
462	high	This kind of workplace sounds exhausting. In this workplace I would try to have an open door policy where people can come talk to me about anything and I wouldn’t use it against them.
463	low	In this position, I would be honored that the work environment I oversee is held in such high regard. It would be my goal to continue fostering the level of comfort and confidence that this employee describes.
464	high	I would definitely stay on my toes and be watching everyone interact and trying to listen to what is going on. I would be a manager who paid very close attention at all times.
465	low	I wouldn’t try to change anything that’s isn’t broke, so I would act accordingly.
466	low	I’d try my best to be supportive to my fellow coworkers by checking to see if they need help on anything while also making sure that things are being done both correctly and productively. I guess in an odd way, I’d be like a teacher of sorts. I want my coworkers to succeed and would give them supportive nudges in the right direction. Nudges that are not meant to attack, but meant to help everyone do their best.
467	high	This is hard for me to imagine because I don’t think I could even last a day in a workplace environment such as this. I suppose I would act very much as micromanager. I would constantly be asking for updates on projects and I would be monitoring all my subordinates tasks.
468	low	If I were a manager working in this situation I would tell everyone to keep up the good work and would tell the workers that the culture is great, and I would let everyone know to keep colaborating with each other and that the teamwork is working out great. I would act supportive and would act with encouragement.
469	high	This would be a tough situation. I would not like it.
470	low	I would greet my colleagues as I arrived in their presence and ask them about how they’re doing today. I would make a joke or two with them as I walk with them around the office.
471	high	I would try to boost everyone’s morale and suggest we all work together. I would have similar people working on certain things.
472	low	I would feel very confident, at ease, and content to be working in this environment. I’d consider everyone’s opinions and solve problems as a team, actively encouraging my employees to voice how they feel and working with them to achieve a collective goal.
473	low	The way I would act in something like this is still treat people as humans and treat them as grown ups. Even though it is a environment that I cant change, I would want to ensure that everyone can still enjoy the work as much as possible.
474	low	I would foster an environment of collaboration and ensure that everyone had the support they needed.
475	low	In this work environment I would want to be more to my subordinates than just a boss. I would want to be a strong supporter in their corner that they could trust and confide in.
476	low	Each person would be treated fairly and equally. Listening to each person and their concerns as well as ideas.
477	low	I would be the kind of manager that is supportive and approachable to my team so that this environment remains this way. I would want to foster this type of environment for my team.
478	high	I would be appalled to think that my staff felt this way. This is extremely unacceptable and I feel sorry for anyone who works in a toxic environment such as this.
479	high	I would use more professional language and better punctuation to start. I would work hard and do my best. I would be careful to not disclose to much to my co workers, so they couldn’t use it against me. I would make sure that I documented my work by e-mails and other methods to ensure I got credit for my work and ideas.
480	low	I would not try to change much in this environment. I would seek to promote the existing culture
481	high	As a manager in this environment, I would focus on maintaining a strategic balance, staying sharp to protect my own position while ensuring my team remains productive and competitive. I would prioritize results over personal loyalty, rewarding those who can navigate the game effectively while keeping a close watch for any moves that could undermine my authority or objectives.
482	low	I would work with my subordinates to keep fostering this same type of atmosphere. I want my employees to be able to trust me and their co-workers and I want us all to succeed. This honestly sounds like an ideal work environment.
483	high	As manager I would put an end to this cut throat atmosphere which is not good for either the workplace or employee retention. I would focus on praising those who are lagging behind while giving those who are at the top that appropriate amount of praise also. I also would hold meetings to let everyone know we are starting a new way of working around here.
484	high	I would worry about my position and job details and not let the chaos of work environment affect what needs to be done
485	high	I would try to be as fair as possible to my employees, I would encourage the same amongst them as much as possible.
486	low	I act in a way that would benefit and help workers do their job.
487	high	I would talk to my employees and try and explain why things feel that way and try and find ways to find positives and another way to look at things. I would give advice and try to get them to see a different angle.
488	low	Since this sounds like a positive place to work, I would want to continue the positivity as manager. Supporting the employees in their work and leading by example.
489	low	First I would make sure all of my employees could write in complete sentences, using the correct grammar, punctuation and spelling. I would run the office rather loosely as long as everyone was fulfilling their jobs. Not quite their buddy, but someone they were open to approach with problems.
490	low	I am glad that my subordinates seem to be getting along well with each other. I do what it takes to ensure they have the tools and information they need to get the job done. I work individually with them to make sure everyone is on the same page.
491	low	I would allow others to continue on, this seems like a kind of environment that people thrive in easily. I cannot stress enough how important some of these things are to prevent burnout and increase moral all around.
492	low	I think it would be pretty easy to manage these people. As they all seem to get along and do well, it may be the dream job for a manager. Plus, it sounds like a nice environment to work in.
493	high	If I was a manager supervising others in this work situation, I would focus on the positive and remain encouraging even through the cutthroat environment. I would also push those to be the best they can be. Everyone has another gear they can lock into if they put the work in.
494	high	I would do my best to make the environment at work as friendly and inviting as possible. I would try to make my employees feel more relaxed and less like they are in a life-or-death competition against one another.
495	low	This is a great place to work. My employees are the best that I could ask for. I do all that I can for them.
496	high	I’d warn my workers about how competitive the business is and how cutthroat it can be just the give them a heads up about what to expect and if they can take it.
497	low	I would likely take a fairly “hands off” approach, to the extent that’s possible, as it sounds like micromanagement wouldn’t be necessary or appropriate in such a setting. I would monitor performance while encouraging collaboration, teamwork, and collective accomplishment.
498	low	I would act in a positive and supportive manner. I would try to encourage an atmosphere in which this support system would continue to thrive.
499	low	I would want to help keep the supportive atmosphere going. I could help keep tasks on track and communication lines open if anyone needed help.
500	high	If I couldn’t change the environment, I would create appreciation events for employees and measure progress as behaviors that have improved or increased their sales or brought them closer to meeting their goal.
501	high	I would try my best to maintain a positive environment for employees.
502	high	I wouldn’t want it to be so competitive. There needs to be a balance.
503	high	I would try to treat people more fairly and make the employees feel like they do not have to be so cutthroat. I think competition is good but I don’t want people to feel like they have to step on other people to get ahead.
504	high	I would have to act as a tougher manager overall, and work to put aside my emotions. I would need to be emotionally removed from a lot of the work processes.
505	high	To lessen some of the tension in the workplace environment I would try to think of some fun or entertaining group activities that were non work related one a week to hopefully bring people together. Those activities would included prizes or something of monetary value.
506	low	I would be open to ideas, suggestions, thoughts, opinions and views. I would want this company to run smoothly with an open stance of communication from top staff to bottom. We ALL have a voice.
507	high	You would have to be very alert as to what is going on. It would be challenging to make sure everyone is treated fairly.
508	high	To succeed in this competitive environment I would combine result oriented management with protection of team efficiency while minimizing unnecessary staff conflicts. My emphasis would be to monitor power relationships closely to use growth possibilities and minimize threats that might damage my position or my group’s delivery outcomes.
509	high	If I could not change the culture, I would do my utmost best to make sure that my division or office that I supervise consistently meets or exceeds our goals. The focus would be on improving efficiency in the office and continuing training so that all employees are up to speed on the latest best practices.
510	high	I acknowledge the fast paced and competitive work environment. Everyone works really hard and is challenged every day. I am proud of the team’s performance and ability to complete their work in a thriving workplace.
511	high	I don’t do well in that kind of environment. Because of my own misery I would be an awful manager.
512	low	I would encourage group projects. I would try to make it so working together is easier than working alone.
513	low	As a manager I would promote trusts and open communications inside the workplace. I believe the relationships built inside the company will positively influence the workplace. I would happily participate and allow people to do so too.
514	low	I think i could manage a group of workers because i have a leadership mentality
515	high	I would probably participate in this type of environment, making sure the people I manage were doing everything they could to win. I’d support them doing whatever it takes.
516	low	As a manager in this supportive and collaborative environment I would focus on reinforcing trust by encouraging open communications. I would lead by example, fostering teamwork, making sure everyone feels valued.
517	high	Although I can’t change the culture of the workplace, I would try my best to encourage a healthier environment while still doing what needs to be done in order to complete tasks. For example, I would push for successful practices but I would encourage teammates to help each other to achieve success. If there was resistance however, I wouldn’t hesitate to enbrace fully this environment and do whatever needs to be done to achieve success.
518	high	I would act as a confidant for the employees and work my best to ensure their happiness in the company despite the environment.
519	low	I would act in a trusting and supportive manner and with respect to my co-workers. I believe in being open and transparent and having the respect of those I work with everyday.
521	low	I would be very receptive to my teams comments and grievances. Since we have such a collaborative environment it would best benefit everyone to be open.
522	low	I would make sure everybody feels like they can come talk to me about any issues or questions they can have. I would also make sure to always ask if anybody needs help to make sure they always know I am available if needed.
523	low	I would let my workers show their creativity and give them the freedom to work independently if they continue to do their job and respect one another. I would be supportive of their abilities and work ethic until they give me a reason not to and then I would guide them depending on the situation.
524	high	I would no longer work in an environment like this if I had no control over this situation. I would quit and find another job. Work environments should not be so negative, there should be teamwork, compassion, and loyalty.
525	low	I would be happy to be working in such an environment. I would be relaxed knowing that I can trust my team. I would be happy to offer help where and when needed.
526	high	I would tell the workers under me that they are free to come to me with any problems or issues, that I maintain an open door for their venting their concerns. If someone feels they are being treated badly by someone trying to get ahead at their expense, I would pull the culprit in and talk to them about their methods.
527	high	I would likely have the employee come in to my office and discuss his feelings about the job. I would ask him how he or she thinks that we can make changes for the better and to improve the work environment. I would also probably have a group meeting after that to gather all of the employees input. When employees feel that they are being listened to and that their input has value it usually results in a more positive outcome.
528	high	I would be intimidated by my employees and would be wary of their motivation behind staying in such a cut-throat environment. I also would have to watch out for any “teachers pets” who try to appease me.
529	high	I would actively work to change the culture and provide a safer space for the employees on my team to operate in. I would stand up to cut throat behavior from others and speak out about where the company needs improvement.
530	low	I would be pleased to be in an environment like this, as being collaborative and being team-oriented decreases the chances of drama. I like non-toxic work places, something that I’ve rarely experienced.
531	high	I think it would be very difficult for me to operate in a workplace with a cut-throat, competitive, dog-eat-dog work environment. I am not a competitive person by nature and this environment would not suit me. I would treat everyone with respect. I would use the competitive environment to my advantage by encouraging the employees to compete with each other therefore getting better performance from my employees.
532	low	I’m not sure this is the type of environment that I would want to foster as a manager myself. I prefer my team to be more self-sufficient so that they can complete their tasks on their own without having to rely on the rest of the team in order to succeed. However, since I must work within it, I would simply do my best to make sure every team member is as strong as possible.
533	high	If I were a manager I would be hyper vigile t about what my employees were doing and making sure they were producing the best possible product. I might also micromanage some things in order to make sure that we were getting the best possible outcome.
534	low	I think it’s a good environment, when co-workers can get along and help each other if need be. being a supervisor to self starters, is much easier than having to constantly remind insubordinates what their jobs are. I have supervised people in my past jobs, that just could not get out of their own way, and it was very frustrating! Then I have supervised those that would walk in, get started, and do their job without difficulty. It allowed me the time I needed to do my own job, without constant interruptions.
535	high	I would stay sharp and focused, making sure I protect my team while navigating the competitive environment. I’d prioritize clear communication and strategic decision-making to avoid being taken advantage of while still maintaining professionalism.
536	high	If the environment was out of my control, I would do my best to be a place of safety and trust independent of the chaos. I can’t control how others act, but I can continue treating people with respect and kindness just as I do in my daily life.
537	low	I would have an “open door” approach to my team, meaning that everybody can come to meet me with questions/topics. I want everyone to feel comfortable approaching me.
538	high	i feel i would have to micromagane some because of the employees being mean or vindictive toward each other
539	high	My first thought is once I have a good understanding of the “rules” of this workplace is that I would try to relate them to my team. I would also try to create a different set of rules that were clearly defined within my team and align more closely with my values. I couldn’t work in a place where I wasn’t working within my values.
540	low	I would make sure people have the training and other resources they need to do their work. I would make connections with other team members as needed.
541	low	I would be very happy and relatively stress free in this type of environment and would enjoy talking with fellow employees to accomplish our work. I think it would be pleasant supervising and working with others in such a cooperative and supportive workplace.
542	high	Because of the “cut throat” atmosphere in this workplace, as a manager I would try to make sure all basic expectations for conduct were followed. For example, not stealing company time, not altering/falsifying numbers for gain, no harassment. I would try my best to keep personal feelings out of my work decisions in order to stay above the aggressively competitive atmosphere.
543	low	I would want to continue the supportive and collaborative nature of this workplace. I would encourage workers to be honest and helpful towards each other.
544	high	I would try to organize the workplace into small groups of like-minded individuals to minimize problems between employees. I would have quick chats with each group throughout the day to gauge progress in work loads, but also to offer help and possible solutions to any difficulties or disagreements that come up. I would be making sure that work is being performed fairly and progressing while minimizing employee dissatisfaction.
545	low	I would be a supportive manager. I would trust my employees to make decisions and would not micromanage them.
546	high	It sounds like I would have to be very assertive and alert. You would also have to be good at managing people who are not particularly collaborative or willing to work together.
547	high	As a manager in this environment I would be trying to take credit as much as possible for the work that my team does. I would always make it seem like I did a majority of the work when its good and then find a team member to blame when its bad.
548	high	This is a cut throat environment, so as a manager I would invest in my time in employee talent. Since I can’t change the environment, I would expect the best from my employees and encourage them.
549	high	First of all, I would hate being in this position. I would try to be as open and honest as possible with my employees. I would let them know about the culture we were in, that it is a competitive environment. I would try to come up with objective measures of my staff’s accomplishments when possible, so that at least we could be fair. I would reward those who worked hard and did well – either with pay raises, more interesting duties or promotions. I would try to use the culture to motivate the lower-performing employees.
550	low	I would be so proud of my people! As humans we crave a safe, comfortable environment. Once that condition is obtained and maintained, our creativity and productivity are unleashed. This is when we can do our best work. As manager of a team like this, I would spend a great deal of time and energy to nurture these people, both as a team and individually when warranted.
551	high	As a manager in this scenario, I would do my best to look over the situations involving my employees as neutral as possible. Despite the competitive atmosphere, I would manage and supervise according to what my job title entails.
552	high	I would not do well in this situation. I would probably set very clear goals and boundaries
553	low	I would continue stressing teamwork and working together. It sounds like an atmosphere I would like to work in.
554	low	I would continue to be supportive and foster teamwork.
555	high	I would try to reward the employees who are best at their job, not the most cutthroat person.
556	high	I would operate in a manner consistent with the work culture. I would “play the game” and take advantage to move myself up the ladder.
557	low	I would act more like a mentor that a boss. I would model the type of behavior I want my team to use and it would help others on the team as well as my self.
558	high	If it’s not something I could change and I HAD to operate this way… I’d keep my eyes and ears open and try to maintain communication with the employees I supervise so that if someone has an idea and then someone else presents it to me I’ll know where the original idea came from. I’d try to make things less cut throat for people even though it’s not something I could change. If I myself am meant to act in this way, then I’d keep my eyes and ears open for ideas to claim as my own so that I could climb the ladder. Even though that feels wrong in every way imaginable.
559	high	Even if it is not advantageous to my career progression, I would still try to do what is best for my direct reports. I would make sure to dedicate my time to help grow their knowledge.
560	high	I would be constantly on the lookout for people making mistakes, and be ruthless in my feedback. I would caution my subordinates to be as precise as possible, and let them know that my feedback was designed to protect them rather than hurt them, so that they wouldn’t be the low hanging fruit.
561	low	As a manager of this workplace, I would feel rather proud to work alongside and be honored to manage such team members. Knowing that they are capable of working well with each other and offer each other support when needed would feel amazing.
562	low	I would make sure I do my job as effectively as possible, even if i cannot change change the environment
563	high	I would try to lead by example and treat my employees as I would want to be treated.
564	low	As a manager in this environment, I would be supportive and encourage teamwork. I would want my employees to feel like they can trust me and not be afraid to express any concerns or opinions they might have.
565	high	This would be a very challenging environment, and needs to be addressed. I would hope to be able to talk to higher management about it and address this, by making goals more spread out and achievable for everyone.
566	low	In this workplace, as a manager I would, ideally, perform in a way that would signify to my employers that we are a unified team. I would do my best to encourage and guide them, while also ensuring that I contribute my part to assist them in their performances as well.
567	low	It would try to be as much part of the team as possible. It sounds like this workplace is a fun and easy place be a manager of. Everybody helping each other and no drama.
568	low	I would make it a priority to include my team members in decisions about how to complete tasks in an efficient and timely manner. I would try to maintain an atmosphere of cooperation and support, realizing, of course, that everyone won’t always agree and there would be times I’d need to intervene and be the deciding factor, but always be open to reasonable ideas and discussions, as the team’s success depends on individuals working together toward a common goal.
569	low	I would trust my employees to do the work they are assigned. I would listen to them if they have ideas and encourage the employees to work together to accomplish the goals we have as a team.
570	low	It would be an overall positive place to work. I would enjoy managing the team.
571	low	If I was the manager in this workplace supervising workers, I would use tools such as compassion, understanding, and compromise. Side note: I understand that some things just cannot be changed, even if it is for the greater good.
572	low	I would continue respecting all staff and coworkers. When issues arose, I’d encourage us all to work together to resolve them.
573	low	I would try to make sure that all employees were encouraged to collaborate and share ideas. I would try to make sure that the employees felt comfortable sharing ideas.
574	high	as a manager in this environment i would an effort to to ensure all contributors are aknowledged by actively referencing who introduced an idea first.
575	low	If I was a manager working here I would not have much to do but regulate my employees I am above in a fair matter. I also would make sure the employees I am over are treated fairly but the other superiors.
576	high	I would encourage a culture where integrity was incentivized and back-handed dealings deincentivized. If I can’t change the entire culture, I would attempt to change my small part of it.
577	high	As a manager in this work situation, I would speak with my employees one at a time and find out their feelings. I would like to foster an environment that is not cut throat or where everyone is out to get someone.
578	low	I would act as if it were an honer to be a manger in a plce like this . and I would do everthing to keep the same energy.
579	low	I would trust the team to get their work done and rely on each other for assistance. I would not micromanage. However, I would be more than happy to assist or find someone to assist if asked.
580	high	This is entirely foreign to any work environment I’ve ever experienced. I would do the best I could to “tame the beast”, so to speak, attempting to calm the situation in my little slice of that particular world.
581	low	I don’t think I would adjust much from this type of culture. It seems productive as long as people aren’t complacent or becoming too dependent on one another to achieve their best possible outcome.
582	low	I would work to support workers in their work and in their careers. I would help my workers continue doing great work and supplement the culture of the workplace by being involved in finding professional development and community building opportunities.
583	low	I think In this type of work environment the Manager has to be the one that sets the tone. I would encourage collaboration. I would strive to keep things peaceful and conducive to work. I would not micro manage. I would treat people as human and encourage rather than put people down.
584	low	I feel like the culture of this workplace is something I would want to help inspire and foster. And that I would like them to continue to grow and develop as a team in that manner.
585	low	I would continue supporting this culture and encouraging others to do the same. People do their best work in supportive environments.
586	low	I would act so nicely towards the workers and the fact there is trust among themselves, they support each other and very collaborative gives me the zeal to work with them because i know the organization will benefit from such a team
587	high	Since the environment seems tense and competitive, this could lead workers to feel stressed and overwhelmed. As a manager, I would try my best to be of support to them while also making sure that I am doing my job and helping to maintain order.
588	high	I would feel like I need to be stern. I think this would be the best way to deal with the employees.
589	low	I would highly encourage working as a team and collaboration. This seems to work the best and builds trust among co-workers.
590	low	I would be very motivated to come in and work with the team and collaborate immensely I would also work to put in the hard work just as much as the team is. I would also encourage the team to continue doing what they’re doing and inspire them to reach their goals.
591	high	I would feel really anxious in this situation. I’d feel like I couldn’t trust either my upper management or the workers that I’m supposed to be supervising, and I’d be constantly really careful in this situation, making sure I do absolutely everything perfectly and by the book, and also supervising my employees extremely closely because it seems like they couldn’t be trusted.
592	low	I would take time to review projects and each team members contributions and get their opinions on what was the most difficult part of the process. Then I would ask them if they could think of anything they or I could do differently to make the process easier, faster or more efficient for the next time.
593	low	i would be kind to my employees. Bringing them food now and then, helping out when they have a difficult time, and just making sure everyone is comfortable
594	high	I probably would figure out a way to make the workplace fair for everyone to get ahead in some way.
595	high	It might be prudent to introduce short weekly meetings to air any grievances the workers may have to at least dispel minor conflicts. Next, there might be a middle of the week check-in for workers to discuss upcoming projects in a cooperative manner.
596	low	I would be honest towards the workers I’m supervising. I’d be determined to help them out.
597	high	As a supervisor in that environment, I would have to be somewhat openly aggressive and pus my team members to perform competitively by also demonstrating what is expected. Privately I would be attempting to mentor my workers to perform their best consistently.
598	high	i would not trust anybody, and would not take any crap from anyone
599	high	This would not be a good environment. I would encourage the people I supervise to accomplish things on their own, without sabotaging their fellow workers in order to do it.
600	low	I am glad I work in this environment. I try to help my workers and be supportive.
601	high	I’ll be honest, I’d have a very hard time in any role in this workplace. But if I was a manager in this situation, I’d understand the competitiveness and embrace it. That said, I would not allow for any type of bullying or malicious behavior. I would tolerate people doing what they need to do to succeed, but in a fair way to others. Anything that crossed a line would have consequences.
602	high	I would be as attentive as I could be to make sure the environment stays neutral. Workplaces turn toxic when there’s neglect.
603	low	I would give my employees good direction but also let them lead their projects.
604	low	This sounds like a particularly interesting place to be employed. It seems to be an extremely positive, productive place to work.
605	high	Being a manager in this work situation would be a lot easier than most other management positions. Everyone is too busy trying to “one up” eachother therefore leading me to do a lot less managing and moreso working alongside with my coworkers.
606	low	As an Inflight Supervisor, I lead by example, supporting my team, building trust, and fostering collaborative work. I recognize effort and focus on shared success.
607	low	I would try to further develop the supportive environment, and I would try my best to align myself with the culture.
608	low	I would be happy about it. I would work to manage my subordinates and appreciate the positive work environment.
609	low	I would do my best to make everyone feel included and heard. I would listen to their problems while maintaining a balanced approach.
610	low	As a manager in this workpalce, id focus on keeping the team motivated with clear goals and a steady hand! I would try to navigate the dialy grind while quietly finding ways to make the enviornment work for us, even if i cant fix the whole system. Id be the kind of boss who listens hard, cuts thru the noise and keeps everything moving forward
611	high	Why can’t I change this atmosphere? Any manager who can’t is a lousy manager. I would find another job instead of trying to manage a situation I can’t change.
612	low	I would retain communication and collaboration amongst my team members. Continuing to encourage them to support each other. Have a general meeting with them each week to catch up and just chat.
613	low	I would lead by strengthening the bond of trust and collaboration, making sure our team members feel supported and valued. I would make sure everybody has healthy open communication and recognize teamwork.
614	high	I would try to have training seminars or something to help calm down the competition. I would try to emphasize that we are a team working together.
615	low	I think I would probably be a more “hands off” manager in this situation because it seems like the employees get things done and really work together. I would encourage continued collaboration and while I wouldn’t intervene much, I’d always be there for advice and support.
616	low	I would push for employees to work together and to know that being honest and working together is the best way to run the business. This is a good environment to work in and should continue on the course that we are on.
617	low	I would check in on my employees and see how they’re doing and if they needed help, I’d find someone who could lend them a hand or help them myself if I have the time.
618	low	This team can be trusted to work without much micromanagement, as they have a track record of being supportive and collaborative. They can be given general oversight along with tasks, but they’ll be likely to have good self-management skills, and micromanaging them is neither needed, nor likely to bring out their best.
619	high	I’d be looking for another job, and just try to survive the best I could, knowing what I’m up against.
620	low	It seems like a positive and open workplace. As a manager, I’d try to be supportive and cooperative with my coworkers, not stepping over them, but trying to provide structure to others.
621	high	I would remove all emotion from my conversations. And I would do everything I could to keep my temper from changing while speaking to those I manage or my co-workers. Because they may be attempting to use my emotions against me so take my place.
622	low	I see this environment as healthy and collaborative. If I had the good fortune to work at this progressive company I would be supportive, happy to be there, and work hard to help everyone grow.
623	low	As a manager in this work situation, I would emphasize bulilding trust by having open communication and leading based on honesty and integrity. I would encouage teamwork, recognize everyones efforts, and make sure everyone knew they were valued.
624	high	I would acknowledge the challenges, but that i am on the side of the worker, not the c-suite, while at the same time trying to insulate workers from critical executives. I would run as chill a department as possible, and remind people that things only get tense when we can’t meet our targets, but that I personally do not ascribe to cutthroat business methods, and I wouldn’t be asking for loyalty, but that it is possible to talk to me without having that conversation get repeated up the chain. I can’t change the system, but i can make it more tolerable by recognizing it.
625	high	Actually, I would probably try to stay neutral, address serious grievances with group discussions and encourage ethical behavior. I would not tolerate illegal or evil behavior.
626	low	I would appreciate the honesty and teamwork and strive to not only supervise, but be a part of the team when needed. I would be an advisor, when needed, and give both support and recognition.
627	high	I think I would be very tense most of the time. My job would to try and make people cooperate rather than fostering a sense of competion.
628	low	I would encourage the employees to continue the culture of mutual support. I would provide them a wide berth and avoid any type of micromanagement. I would allow them more independence and autonomy with less supervision.
629	low	I would encourage my direct reports to continue participating in the culture of teamwork. I would praise people for helping others.
630	low	As a manager in this job I would feel confident. This is exactly the type of team you want to lead in this situation.
631	high	This doesn’t seem like the most fun place to be a manager. Feels like this would be stressful and have a lot of stand offs with my subordinates.
632	high	I’d be pretty chill with others because I know the professional environment just flat out sucks to work in, as it’s more of a hunter mindset of what you kill is what you eat.
633	low	I would perform professionally and unbiased as i deal with employees on their specific issue or job performance and give guidance and training if possible.
634	high	I would ensure that the work life balance of the staff members are very good. All the equipments and items needed by the team members will be provided.
635	low	I would support this type of work environment. I believe in the team approach and cooperation.
636	low	I would be happy and proud to be in this workspace. I would find joy in coming to work each day.
637	high	I would want to get to know my workers better and learn about their characters and what positive things motivate them. The current culture is not one that is positive and while that kind of an environment can survive for a while in the end both the workers and the work will come crashing down. As a manager I need to lead by example and a positive encouraging example at that and create a collaborative team environment.
638	low	I would be extremely supportive of the employees that I supervise. I would also do what I could to build trust and respect throughout the team so that everyone feels appreciated and their hard work is recognized.
639	low	I would definitely reward and encourage team work and collaboration, trusting my employees the best I can to do what is right to help encourage self-sufficiency and teamwork.
640	low	I would do my best to maintain the supportive environment that was mentioned by the employee. I would promote a supportive environment by greeting and briefly asking employees I come in contact with if there is anything I can do for them to help when I come across them.
641	low	I would be very happy to work in this kind of environment and I will support the people under me as much as possible and dedicate my time to ensure they get the possible best to deliver their work. I would also actively support and collaborate with other employees and departments as much as I can.
642	low	I would do my best to help my subordinates in this situation as I would assume they are giving me their best effort and want the best for me so I would want the best for them. I would try to make sure they had work life balance so we could maintain this positive culture without people leaving.
643	high	In a cutthroat workplace situation like this it would be vital to try and have employees collaborate where they can. It may be better to form teams to deal with competitive nature.
644	low	I would go “by the book” so to speak, but I would also not violate my own ethics. I would supervise the employees according to the procedures of the company, but if anything violated my own ethics, I would have to either negotiate with those higher up or resign.
645	high	it would feel stressful working in such an enviorment
646	high	I would ensure that everyone is following company protocol and no incidents that could be deemed immoral would take place that could impact employee work satisfaction. Knowing that the environment is high stakes nonetheless, I would ensure whatever success metrics required are met, and treat employee behavior with moderate grace in consideration of the circumstances.
647	high	I would try to foster cooperation among workers to the extent the work environment allows. The only way to break the retaliatory cycle is to create at least a small cooperative core.
648	low	I think working in this environment would bring me joy and satisfaction as a manager. Knowing that people have a positive work environment would make it easier to supervise and lead.
649	high	Even though the environment is very competitive I would still trying to be encouraging and help where I am able.
650	high	I would definitely have to go against my natural kind and understanding nature to a great degree. I would have to develop a toughness or tough skin and unfortunately stoop to others level in order to “play the game” at work.
651	low	As a manager my duty would be to uphold the companies’ policies and procedures. I would be a instrument to my staff, and make sure they have everything they need to succeed. For example, the support, information, and as little as supplies needed for the job.
652	low	i love the collaborative nature of this workplace. i would reward collaborative behavior with projects requiring these skills.
653	high	I would try to talk it out with the employee and express my empathy. I would find ways to make things better for him/her
654	high	I would restrict my communications with all employees to only business related discourse. I would get involved in any disputes or conversations that are not related to myself or the company. I would try to stay in my office with the door locked.
655	high	If I was a manager in this workplace and I was unable to change the environment or culture personally, I would encourage competition between employees. I would provide rewards for individual achievement and do nothing to encourage group work. I would hold office competitions - for example - allow multiple employees to “pitch” me their idea for a project and award the idea that seems the best.
656	low	If I were manager in this work situation, I would be proud of my team and make sure to call out their strengths and achievements. I would still be technically supervisor, but would try to be on my team’s level as well.
657	low	As a manager in a posive atmosphere it would be a great place to collaborate together and encourage people to be team players and give ideas on how to keep the environment positive and growing.
658	low	If I was a manager in this work situation, I would try to ensure that all workers feel supported and happy in their environment. Because the workplace is not something I could directly change, I would try to make sure everyone is having the best experience possible.
659	high	I would make sure to be outwardly nice and friendly to everyone, but still be strict.
660	high	I would do my best to be caring toward the people that I supervise, and know that I seem them as a human being, not just a worker.
661	low	I would try to ensure that people contribute to the culture. I would encourage teamwork and assisting others if they are stuck.
662	high	I’d want to be nice as a manager. This job sounds genuinely awful and the environment sounds toxic and awful. I’d want to be a friendly face or a rock for my team in such a bad environment.
663	low	I would enjoy it probably, and would encourage my workers to collaborate with each other to boost morale and productivity.
664	low	As a manager in this situation, I would do my best to continue supporting team members. I would invite them to come to me with ideas, concerns, or any feedback. While holding everyone accountable for their work and their decisions, I would try to provide as much encouragement as possible.
665	low	I would be communicative with my employees. I would also strive to be a good leader.
666	high	I would work with my direct reports to identify their goals and ways to achieve them without undermining each other.
667	low	I would go into work with a open mind and try to have a good day. I would listen to my co workers and work with them to get the job done the best that we can,
668	high	If is needed to supervise a workplace i would make sure that productivity is happening at the highest capacity. No over working or employee competition between each other.
669	high	Not allowing to change things isn’t my cup of tea so I will definitely find a way to do it. There are laws and regulations for such things and I am ready to lose my job over it. No one is getting bullied or felt less than on my watch.
670	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would attempt to make sure people weren’t hurting overall productivity to elevate themselves. I would also try to make them feel more comfortable with their current positions, as most of them naturally wouldn’t be getting promoted in this scenario.
671	high	I will still try to be a good manager and work with employees to become better. I will most likely try to find another job as well since I’m not comfortable taking advantage of others.
672	high	I would probably try to maintain the peace. As a manager it’s important to make sure everything is working properly and keeping the peace is doing just that
673	high	I would pull employees in and ask them what the top 3 grievances are and how they would best like to change them. I would also offer an anonymous option for those who do not wish to make their grievances public.
674	low	I wouldn’t be really managing too much since most of the workers would be already working together.
675	low	It sounds like I could act more as an enabler in this setting instead of a micro-manager, as the team seems to have collaborative efforts and accountability naturally.
676	low	As a manager in this situation I would make sure that all employees felt supported and trusted. I would ensure that I was available to provide help and guidance in any way that I could to help reach goals for the team.
677	high	I think that being a manager in this workplace would be exhausting. You would have to constantly make sure that things don’t get too crazy and people don’t get too worked up or angry at one another.
678	low	I would trust that most people are good at working together, but I would still watch for putting people who work extra good with each other together.
679	low	I would feel happy because the people in the workplace are safe and cool with each other.
680	low	As a manager in this situation I would be extremely proud and supportive of a work environment that promotes teamwork. I would act in a way that enhances peoples ability to ask other for help such as guiding them to the right team members for assistance.
681	low	It seems like a pleasant work environment. Much different than what I currently deal with.
682	low	I would be a proud supervisor in this situation. I would trust my employees to do the right things and meet their deadlines. I wouldn’t have to hover around them to make sure tasks are completed.
683	high	I will be a very strict and welcoming manager, I won’t give chance for backbiting and I won’t reward it. I will only encourage collaboration and team work and give reward for both.
684	high	I would still perform my job as usual. I would try to adapt to the situation as best as I can
685	low	My workspace is an open office concept. My vp sits in an open office just like I do. There are conference rooms all around if you need privacy for a meeting. The staff is all very supportive and will help with all things.
686	low	I would act as a manager who listens to concerns, feedback, and suggestions. I would have a lot of trust in my employees as micromanaging is nonexistent. I would have clear communication skills which makes the work environment smoothly operational.
687	high	I would be the exception and lead by example. I would hope that my behavior would be contagious.
688	high	I would try to minimize the poor work situation in any way that I could. Cut- throat is one thing; an atmosphere where co-workers backstab and can’t be friendly is something else. I would make sure to be scrupulously fair and reward both competitive behavior and cooperative behavior, in whatever way was possible.
689	high	I am not sure how to manage people in this type of work atmosphere? I guess if the whole work aspect is getting to the top, you would acknowledge the worker’s who are succeeding and rising above.
690	high	The environment is nothing but stressful. I constantly deal with high volume of demanding and complaining.
691	high	I will have to make work or daily rules everybody most follow to avoid misunderstanding at work place. Another thing is also organize an anonymous survey to ask every work how he or she is feeling about the work conditions and place.
692	high	I would stay steady in the work environment and make sure I am taken seriously. A lot of careers in sales involve cut throat situations and competitiveness. I would keep my employees happy with scheduling and job security but do what needs to be done to meet goals to keep my position.
693	low	This work environment seems like a very positive atmosphere and one that would be pleasant to work in. As a manager, I would probably use a more hands-off approach since it seems like I would be able to trust the employees to do what they need to do and cooperate with their co-workers to achieve their goals.
694	low	In such a healthy and supportive environment, I would most likely take more of hands-off approach to managing and supervising. I would obviously still be around all the time for questions and guidance, but a team like this one sounds like it could be trusted to take care of itself for the most part. Plus, taking a backseat would likely encourage growth in my subordinates.
695	high	I would try to watch my employees very closely. And I would also try to make sure that they did not spread rumors.
696	high	I would be cold, to reflect the environment I work in. I likely would treat people as tools instead of people.
697	high	I would try to make the best of it as much as possiable to make it to where even though its cut throat and competitive I would see to it as much as possiable that everyone yet be rewarded,making sure that those who suffer the worse outcome because of being out performed would also still get things to an extent to even they would be content.
698	high	I would probably be cut throat too. Survival of the fittest. I don’t like that atmosphere but it’s probably required to survive the job.
699	low	I would be very supportive to my workers and I would make sure that I am always available if they have any questions or issues. I would also try to lead by example and would work hard and stay out of trouble.
700	high	I think that I would have to look at the attitude I usually have and change it. I wouldn’t be as easy going as I usually am, I would be more assertive and make sure my authority is known. I have to be more aggressive than I normally am.
701	low	I would try to continue this positive work environment. I would learn from the past and try to maintain it.
702	low	In this work environment I would treat everyone in the capacity that they are well functioning adults that can manage themselves. I’d simply be there to offer help and guidance when needed.
703	low	If I were manager I would make sure everyone is getting the work they need to done. I would also make sure people are actually liking the culture and make sure we maintain what works for most people and gets the job done.
704	low	As a manager, I would trust that I could delegate responsibility to my team members without having to micromanage them. I would also be able to ask a team member to help out another colleague if I can see where one is obviously struggling, and I wouldn’t get negative pushback from any of the other members.
705	low	I would feel proud if I was the manager in this work environment. Collaborative team effort brings a lot of success these days.
706	low	I would be proud of my team for having such a welcoming and inclusive environment. I would do all I could to continuously support my team and encourage the trusting atmosphere.
707	low	I would make sure to check in on every employee and their well being. I don’t feel you can have a great team together if the work morale is low.
708	low	I would support my workers in their efforts to collaborate and work as a team. They seem to get along well, and I wouldn’t want to change that. I would guide them with anything they need.
709	low	As a manager in this workplace, I would lead by example and communicate effectively. I’d support my team by recognizing their work and collaboration.
710	low	I would try to interact with my employees. I would make it a fun environment.
711	low	I would act respectful towards others in this environment and give them the benefit of the doubt when problems arose.
712	low	I would try to take a “middle ground” stance. I would have to be firm it someone needed reprimanding, but be fair to everyone.
713	low	I would be content in this setting because it’s a warm, friendly, and cooperative environment. There would be little conflict, so when it does arise I can be adequately able to resolve it.
714	low	I would be less strict than I usually would be in a management position, as my employees are cooperative and willing to help me out.
715	high	In what situation? I don’t understand the scenario, because I didn’t see one.
716	low	I would do my best to support my team and continue to foster a collaborative and supportive work environment.
717	low	I would give the team more choice in the decisions that will affect the team as a whole. A lot of supervisors treat their jobs as if they are babysitters instead of motivators.
718	high	I would feel uncomfortable. It would make me think that my reports are out to get my job.
719	high	I could not work in a place like this. I would do my best to get along and do excellent work, but I would be looking for another job. Some workplace environments are toxic and I feel it is better to leave them than to try and change them.
720	low	I’d embrace the culture in the workplace and work to foster its continued use.
721	low	As a manager, the best way for me to go about this is to make sure that every employee is being treated fairly and is emotionally supported enough to put on a state of the art performance. This is what keeps a workplace smooth functioning.
722	high	I am a firm believer in the grind and a winner takes all mentality. While it would be difficult to be a manager in such an office, I think I would look forward to the challenge. I might end up getting fired but I could also rise to the top and DOMINATE !
723	low	I would be very supportive of my team. I would ensure my team has all the necessary tools they need to succeed.
724	low	I would try to be both helpful and encouraging to the workers I supervise. Teamwork is important for both the individual and the company to be successful.
725	low	I would be willing to help those that I work with succeed in their area. I would be as helpful as I can so we all can grow. I would be a team player
726	high	I would have to treat all my employees like they are competing against each other. I would have to be more cutthroat and ruthless than all my employees.
727	high	I would make sure my employees are on task and not goofing around. I would say and do what I needed to in order to get the results I wanted.
728	high	If I were manager, I would try to emphasize cooperation and collaboration. Even though the workers are competitive, a manager can do a lot to make a difference, by creating workplace games and channeling that competition into fun prizes.
729	high	I would be keeping tabs on all my employees to make sure they are staying on task and performing their jobs at the highest level possible.
730	high	If I were a manager in this situation, it sounds like there desperately needs to be some work done on bringing people together to work together rather than competitively. When people are only out for their own progress and success, it can potentially lead to tearing others down which would be an overall negative to the work we are trying to accomplish.
731	high	If I were a manager in this situation, I would remain open, helpful, and friendly to my coworkers but also know that I have to keep my eyes and ears wide open and have great situational awareness to all the goings on around me.
732	high	As a manager in this environment, I would stay highly strategic, protect my team by staying alert to internal politics, and make sure we’re always one step ahead. I’d reward results, encourage loyalty, and quietly ensure no one could take advantage of us.
733	low	I would be proud to supervise these type of employees. I would in return treat them to a weekly catered in lunch and possibly some type of gift card incentive.
734	high	I would take everything with a grain of salt and verify information. Something that is popular now is a phase “show me the receipts”. The workers would be required, when submitting work or ideas, to write just a few sentences how they got there.
735	low	In this environment I would prioritize understanding and adapting to the existing culture and fostering an atmosphere of support and productivity among my team.
736	low	I would keep with the cooperative and trusting nature. I would not micro manage, but rather trust people to get their work done.
737	high	If I was in this workplace and unable to change it, then I’d have to act meticulously and be very cunning. I’d probably actively encourage competition between my employees.
738	high	I would act as part of a team. I may be the manager but when work need to be done I’m more than willing to help out.
739	high	I would work hard to try to protect my direct reports from this culture. That could mean standing up for them to other managers/employees, advocating for them to receive raises or promotions, or being the point person for particularly difficult colleagues. It would be very challenging and stressful, but my main priority would be the wellbeing of my direct reports.
740	high	I would have to be on top of my game at all times. Making sure that the employees are not affecting the mental well being of the rest of the emplyees while still doing their job.
741	high	I would keep an eye on unethical practices. I would reward employees who succeed honestly. I would try to create some work activities inside and outside of the workplace for employees to relax and have fun since it seems like such a stressful place to work.
742	high	I have been a manager in a place like this and you cannot change it as a first level manager. That attitude comes from how the company is set up, a first level manager can’t make the organizational changes needed to make employees not feel this way.
743	high	If I were managing people in this environment and really couldn’t change it I would try to make sure people stuck up for themselves. I would do my best to see that people didn’t get screwed over, and encourage those who were taken advantage of to change their behavior or support them finding a new job.
744	low	Continue to let employees set the vibes. 2. Be supportive, do small things to make people’s lives better (bring treats, let people go home early, cancel unnecessary meetings). Find ways to reward employees for positive impact
745	low	I would maintain an open-door policy with my employees. I would make myself as accessible as possible and not shut down ideas as they could lead to better ideas.
746	low	Being as helpful and supportive for my teams as possible. It would make it easier and more rewarding to work with my team to help them accomplish work related goals as well as personal. An environment like the one described encourages healthy cooperation.
747	low	I would foster the sense of cooperation between my workers by assigning tasks to groups where practical, and praise workers who help out when the don’t have to.
748	low	I would be supportive of this work environment and allow the team to interact as they have been. I would try to ensure that they knew I am approachable should any situations arise that require my intervention.
749	high	I would do my best to put an end to the awful behavior. I would try and form a team where we all work together and celebrate wins. I would have no issue letting someone go if they caused a toxic work place.
750	high	As a manager, I would have the protection of being above a number of employees within the hierarchy, but also be in contact with upper management more than my subordinates, which would create its own risks. Because of this, I would try to use my managerial position to be collaborate and understanding with my subordinates, as they are not allowed this luxury, and to try to change the culture, but also understand that even with them I would have to watch my back and know that they don’t see me as an equal. In terms of with my superiors, I would be cautious to maintain good relationships with them but also understand to keep a distance because they are not looking out for me.
751	low	I would work to maintain the existing atmosphere of cooperation and trust. I would involve the employees I supervised in the decision making process and consider their input.
752	high	I would struggle to manage in this kind of environment, but I would do my best to ensure everyone felt safe. I would try and focus on each individual employee and focus on their goals and successes instead of trying to pit them against one another.
753	high	I would do my best to implement practices that didn’t promote opportunities for others to backstab each other, while simultaneously maintaining a personal distance as much as possible from my subordinates as not to give them chances to manipulate me further.
754	low	I would ensure that the supportive efforts by all employees continued. I would want to maintain that atmosphere.
755	high	I would try to disperse the assignments equally so everyone had a moment to present their abilities. It would also help to stop any feelings of competition employees may feel.
756	high	I would try to do my best to work on this environment into one where everyone can work together and against themselves. It can be hard to trust others if you feel like they are going to be out to get you and I feel like this can inhibit a healthy and productive work environment.
757	low	I would be an encourager. Supporting the efforts of the workers - praising their successes and providing constructive feedback on their problems/failures. Promoting an atmosphere of cooperation would go far.
758	high	I can’t imagine trying to manage a team of cutthroats. I would do my best to encourage each team member to do their personal best, and I would try to reward everyone based on the entire team’s efforts.
759	high	If I were a manager I would try to change the overall vibe of the workplace and try to get employees to act as a team and help each other instead of the cut throat feels there now
760	high	If I were the manager I would make it my priority to make sure no abuse of any worker was taking place. While it may be cut throat it should not be abusive. I would discipline anyone who used abusive tactics such as belittling, sabotage of effort, lies, discrimination to get ahead I would praise getting ahead by working harder, being innovative, having good time management, being creative in problem solving - and I would try very hard to model those behaviors over back stabbing behaviors. I don’t believe a manager has to operate in an environment like that - that there is nothing a manager could do to effect change.
761	low	I would have some expectation that everyone is pretty much cooperative and willing to work together and have a great attitude no matter what tasks are before them. I would think I could manage them well since there is a collaborative, team-spirited attitude.
762	low	As a manager, I would promote the collaborative teamwork to the employees. An environment that stresses working together rather than climbing over each other is key to our success and is a selling point to customers. I would continue to reward employees who work according to our ideals while trying to show the others why we take the approach we do.
763	low	i would always offer encouragement to my employees when i see them do something good. i would make small talk with my employees and try to learn about their personal lives
764	high	I think I would manage as unbiased and levelheaded as possible. I would be honest to my employees that good work is rewarded and will take you far without seeming to single anyone out. As an employee right now (as in, in real life and not in this scenario) I understand that my performance at work is what will influence my value as a worker in the eyes of my supervisors.
765	low	In the environment described here, it would be refreshing to lead such a team. I would ensure everyone feels welcomed and that they are given the freedom and resources they need to do their jobs.
766	low	As a manager in this environment, I would support my team by encouraging working teamwork and open communication. I would make sure everyone feels valued and help them work together to succeed.
767	high	My Workplace is Very Small and Chill and Not Too Stressful Im Just Handling and Minding My Own Business and Taking Care of Things That Needs to Be Done. I Make Sure Everybody is Handling Their Business and Its Not Toxic We All Just Finishing Our Quotas and Objectives and Making This Money Along The Way and Making Memories Too.
768	high	I would do my best to help the team I supervise work around the environment. If possible I would form a pilot in which we change the way we work within the competition. I would start by having team luncheons and outings. Hopefully, the team begin to develop trust for one another. I would then try to set up agreed upon rules about how the competition will work for us. Maybe this month, Joey is the star of the office, maybe next month it is Jodi.
769	high	As a manager in this situation I would do my best to build a better culture. I would make it known that it is okay to share feed back and have an open door policy. I would encourage my employees to do what is right.
770	low	I would initially try to get along with the coworkers and determine if this a healthy culture or environment to work in.
771	high	I may not be able to directly change the culture, but I can act in my role to try to make my own area better. I would watch for actual contribution and teamwork not just how good people can make themselves look compared to others.
772	high	I would do everything from my office. I would email people instead of speaking to them or calling them. If I had to speak with an employee personally I would call them into my office. I would not interact with anyone at the organization any more than I had to in order to keep my job.
773	high	Come on people! Youo have to push these numbers, this isn’t good enough. Remember best numbers gets a bonus!
774	low	I would act fair and supportive. Always help those when they need it. Open communication of course, and I would encourage communication.
775	high	I would be extremely strict, stern and unyielding as a manager working in this kind or environment. I would not take no as an answer or disobedience lightly.
776	low	I’d imagine it would feel a lot safer to give my ‘all’ in this environment, that any work and effort I put in would be repaid. I think I would feel like the people who I lead would also feel that way, and it would allow for a good dynamic among them. Everyone would try to help others and it would allow everyone to thrive.
777	low	I would likely be more inquisitive to ask questions about the workplace more than not. To be well educated on the environment I would be in charge of would help wonders.
778	high	I wwwould treat every employee with respect and I would treat eveyone fairly because we all should work as a team to et the job done and we spend as much time a work as we do at home so it is eaiser to work to together to et the job done
779	high	I would be consistent with my employees. I would be respectful and try to have a fair work space.
780	high	I would try to do my job as a manager based on what I was hired to do. I would actively look for a job at another company with any available free time I had.
781	high	As a manager I think my job would be to try to get my employees to work as a team. It sounds like everyone is just out for themselves and that’s not a very stable work environment.
782	low	I would have no trouble working in this atmosphere where people get along and help each other. I have a pretty even temper and I really enjoy helping people.
783	high	I would document everything, focus more on building relationships with those above me vs. those below me, and probably not be as forthcoming or collaborative with my direct reports. I may only share information in a way that is beneficial to me. But I’d also try to stay on my direct reports’ good sides.
784	low	As collaborative leader, I would encourage an open cycle of feedback and communication to continue building upon the atmosphere and employee knowledge. For example, I’d empower employees when mistakes are made by using them as a learning opportunity for the team to innovate procedures in case employees have a better method to avoid such mistakes.
785	high	I would make sure to be firm, encouraging others to do their job but to remember , while encouraging them in their endeavors, that we were a team. A team that needed to work together for the common good of the company.
786	low	I would promote and encourage team building strategies and try to meditate any disagreements to ensure it remained a positive and collaborative environment.
787	high	I think I would be overwhelmed. It would be hard to supervise people and try to make sure that everyone got along. Depending on the job description you might have to match people in projects and make sure they get along in this kind of environment. I would think people might not get along real well in a cut throat type environment and be uneasy with each other in their day to day interactions.
788	high	If this atmosphere were something I could not change, I would try my best to extricate myself from all of the drama. I’d be trying very hard not to become enmeshed in the personal vendettas and resentments. I would not engage with those I supervise in a personal way or befriend them. I would operate strictly in a business manner.
789	low	I would do everything correct to act as a good manager. I would also make sure that all the employees are treated fairly and have everything that they need to work comfortably as well too.
790	high	I would treat all those under me with respect. Take a notice and give work to those who put in the effect.
791	high	I would help everyone to learn how to be better than the next person if it’s so cutthroat as they say. Not to cheat anyone , but to earn your place at work.
792	low	I would be helpful and encouraging. I think that type of work environment is great and I would want to continue the helpful and supportive part.
793	low	I would work with the employees, allowing them to have input on many aspects of the workload. I would value the contributions of the workers and make sure that they were aware of that fact. I would also take steps to ensure that the atmosphere of support, collaboration, and respect was always a driving force in the workplace at all times.
794	high	I would focus on being strategic and focus that my team stays on task.
795	high	I would force as much of the work I managed to be conducted “in the open” where everyone could see and hear what others were doing. Regular group meetings with updates on all the ongoing projects would also help. Skullduggery and underhandedness require secrecy. To work in an environment like this ethically requires transparency between all members.
796	low	I would treat others with equal respect and opportunity and give promotions based on work output not feelings. I would also be more comfortable asking and requesting input from those I oversee.
797	low	I would talk to people with respect and get their input, make sure everyone felt heard. I would determine which workers were good at what and try to put people together on projects that would work well together.
798	high	In a cutthroat environment, which happens often in sales I would have to try to keep everyone civil as work can turn into anger towards coworkers all the time. I would treat everyone fairly and try to make sure everyone had the same opportunities while being friendly towards everyone.
799	low	I would want to be very involved with the team. Collaborating with the staff is the best way to ensure they are all on your team and on the same team.
800	high	I would be extremely clear and upfront about everything so there was no room for misunderstands. I would also focus on documenting what is expected in terms of employee performance so everyone could be judged fairly and using the same set of metrics.
801	high	While I intend to manage fairly and follow established procedures, I may need to adapt them to best suit the situation.
802	low	I would be carefree and easygoing. I’d be the type of manager employees could come to with any type of concern.
803	low	I’d do my best as a manager to support and foster collaboration among my team. Playing a role of supporting them during projects and providing guidance where i can to steer the work to something that aligns with larger goals.
804	low	I would focus on on providing clear expectations consistent communication and advocating for their well being no matter what
805	low	I would work in support of the overall teamwork. Solve conflicts and problems that might hinder my groups ability to work as a team. The better the team works together the more work we can complete.
806	low	I would continue to cultivate a team like atmosphere with an emphasis on collaboration. I would communicate my trust and support in them and encourage them to do the same for each other.
807	high	I would try to reward or encourage people when they act well in a team environment. I would also to try to say something when someone acts anti-socially.
808	high	So if the workplace is as cutthroat as this employee states I would focus on the quality of the work rather than the quantity. I would also focus on the personalities of the people that are working there because personality says a lot about what a person is capable of and I myself don’t want to have an employee that will stab somebody in the back figuratively.
809	high	If I was a manager in this work situation, supervising others, I would be as fair and transparent as possible. Even though the workplace environment is not ideal, I’ll manage my team the right way.
810	high	I would probably be super intense and look at my employees work to make sure everybody is performing their jobs well.
811	high	I would be respectful and kind. I will hand out tasks to everyone and follow through to make sure the tasks get done in a timely fashion.
812	high	i would carefully monitor workers to see what they were doing each day and see what kind of tactics each worker was employing and try to get a sense of how each person was feeling and reacting to the day.
813	low	I am going to give them 20 minutes break for meditation- taking turns- 3 days a week

Impact on employee

PID	cond	impact_open
1	high	I think that they worker felt very hurt and pressured by it.
2	high	the worker got up and worked on his task because he was worried about the consequences
3	low	The worker ws likely pretty unhappy. This probably messed up the environment a bit by creating strife in the work place
4	high	I’m sure the worked felt very upset at that confrontation. the manger could have approached the situation better.
5	high	Probably nothing. I guarantee nothing was done about the manager speaking to the worker like this. If I were the worker, I would’ve either quit or reported this behavior.
6	high	I believe the worker was upset at being talked like that from their superior.
8	low	Nothing, that’s annoying but not egregious enough to do anything about. Now if the project didn’t get finished, the manager might have gotten reprimanded or fired, but not for telling an employee to get to work.
9	low	I think the worker probably felt scared and upset over the manager’s insane reaction to taking a short break.
10	low	The worker probably didn’t feel so good. I’d probably expect an apology later. Also workers can legally take breaks.
11	low	The worker probably felt targeted and felt bad. I do not like this approach and think it was a mistake by the manager. This worker might start thinking about finding another job because of this incident.
12	high	I think the worker felt nervous for the rest of the day. I think the worker probably worked more slowly instead of taking breaks. I think the worker tried to make his pace look faster than it was.
13	low	Probably nothing, because often times power structures are set up to protect people like that from getting any sort of consequence.
14	high	the worker probably felt stressed and upset. they might’ve gotten anxious about the threat and tried to work faster, but also felt resentful towards the manager for shouting at them. they might not have felt motivated after that.
15	high	If this manager worked in the “cutthroat” environment I would imagine that nothing happened to them in terms of consequences. It probably wasn’t the worst thing that happened that day in fact.
16	low	I am sure that the worker begrudgingly started working on the project, but felt humiliated and bitter about it. It would probably negatively affect their work performance as well.
17	low	I think the coworker did a better job after the encounter with the manager
18	high	I’m sure they were upset because yelling is never professional or okay.
19	high	Nothing probably happened. The manager probably got away with acting this way. I’m sure the worker was angry and embarrassed.
20	low	The employee probably did indeed work faster and ended their break, but it also probably left the workplace shaken and uneasy. People probably feel guilty for taking their legal breaks and their lunches, and they’re probably more wary of management.
21	low	The worker likely felt embarased or stressed by the managers outburst.
22	high	As a consequence, I can imagine the worker spitefully working slower or clocking in earlier if they weren’t able to get in contact with some sort of workplace lawyer that would be them in trouble with HR and the law.
23	high	The manager could have received a complaint from HR. The worker did not like the anger that was expressed towards him.
24	low	The worker was probably shocked and felt disrespected. I do not think the manager received consequences for this.
25	low	The worker was most likely upset and frustrated with his manager. Nobody enjoys being yelled at.
26	high	The manager likely did not experience any consequences to his actions as he is in a position of power over the worker.
27	high	The worker was most likely very intimidated and did what the manager said. Subsequently he most likely talked about the manager behind his back to other employees.
28	low	Probably nothing happened as a consequence, except that the worker getting yelled at thought the manager was annoying
29	low	The worker would have been really upset. They would feel like all the time and effort they put into the project was being unappreciated.
30	low	This manager should not be in charge of people! This kind of behavior is unacceptable and no way to approach it. I would NICELY go talk to this worker and make sure there were no issues as to why he isn’t meeting the deadline
31	high	The worker was probably scared and felt pressured to work faster, especially considering that the manager mentioned the leadership was upset.
32	low	The worker was likely offended. The manager should remember that it is not uncommon for people to take a quick break and return to the work re-energized.
33	low	I would think the managers reaction would make the worker upset that they were targeted specifically. I would hope the manager was told not to speak that way to employees.
34	low	The worker probably “picked up the pace”, if they valued their job
35	low	I think the employee had to take their manager’s abuse and get back to working. The employee’s work suffered as they were just put under unnecessary stress.
36	high	Probably nothing. Usually this behavior goes unchecked.
37	low	The worker probably responded by ending their break and trying to show that they are working hard. They probably don’t want to get in trouble with their manager so they did what they were told.
38	high	I think the employee either had to forgo his breaks to get the project completed on time or he may have continued taking care of himself and was fired for it.
39	high	I think the worker, in this scenario, probably responded negatively to the manager’s behavior but kept their emotions in check in order to avoid problems at work. I also think they probably then rushed back to work to finish their task, but from then on felt demotivated to put their best effort at work. I think it’s also possible that this worker, and their co-workers, will begin focusing on maintaining the appearance of being busy when this manager is around.
40	low	I’m sure the worker did pick up their pace and get it done, however, I’m very sure that they lost respect for their manager that day.
41	high	The worker probably had to cut their break short and get back to work right away.
42	low	The worker would have been shocked at the beginning. Depending on the person, they either will feel motivated so they don’t get yelled at again, or feel discouraged as they may start believing the environment isn’t welcoming or the manager doesn’t like them, causing them not to want to work on it or do a worse job on the project than what they were going to do.
43	high	I think that the worker will be extremely upset and maybe even cry because of the way that the manager treated him and he will no longer want to work there
44	low	The worker will resent the manager more and he will do less effort in the work that he has to complete to make the deadline. The worker will complete the deadline but with little effort so the manager might get anger again and the work will just brush it off like nothing happened.
45	high	I think the employee continued their work and finished the job.
46	low	The worker probably panicked, felt that they would lose their job, and started rushing through the project to get it done on time.
47	high	I think the worker probably cut short their break because they wouldn’t want to be seen as a weak link in the future.
48	low	The worker must have felt under pressure even more and was more worried about making his boss upset than finishing the task. He probably felt guilty and thought that the manager would be in trouble because of his actions.
49	low	I think he would have been angry but also scared for his job. He would hold on to the anger towards his manager in the future.
50	high	The worker like was frightened and worked even on their break. The consequence is likely the worker will try to find a new job as quickly as possible, if they haven’t already caught on and started looking.
51	low	I think the worker got upset and probably resentful of that manager.
52	low	They were probably startled and upset by it, but they probably got right to work
53	high	I believe the tension level in the office increased by 300%. I believe you get better performance out of people by guiding them not threatening them. I am sure the worker was angry stressed and less productive as a result of the reprimand and threat.
54	low	I think the worker should not bear on the reaction, It was due to the pressure the manager was facing from the older ones in the company. Things like that happens, the main resultant is how you take and get over it.
55	high	I think the employee might quit their job. They probably think it was abuse.
56	low	The worker likely felt attacked, and put on the spot. Their stress probably went through the roof. It likely induced panic, and had the person scrambling to get things done. It also probably put that person on edge for quite a while afterwards and likely has them figuratively looking over their shoulder whenever they’re at work to see if the manager is going to come over and scream at them again.
57	low	The worker probably got mad and worked at the same pace or slower.
58	high	The worker likely played the game as well as possible by standing up to the boss, but still prioritizing the work without showing too much emotional reaction. Likely, they finished their personal task before resuming their work.
59	high	I think the manager got reported to HR. Behavior like that is not tolerable and not professional in the work environment.
60	high	I think the manager did not face consequences and the workers probably just endured this behavior
62	high	Everybody would feel that they should be walking on eggshells from then on. If the manager is prone to outbursts like this, then it would make them feel uncomfortable.
63	low	The worker was likely upset but probably went back to work to complete their tasks. The worker was also probably very hurt and confided in coworkers or close friends and family about their manager’s behavior.
64	high	The worker probably felt like crap and had serious thoughts about quitting
65	high	The worker was probably upset at being targeted and yelled at but probably sucked it up because they need to keep their job
66	low	The manager probably only got talked too, but nothing extreme probably came of it. The worker was probably upset.
67	low	The manager’s reaction was wildly inappropriate. Depending on the employees role and job security, I would hope they would find some way to push back on the manager’s expectations and behavior.
68	high	I feel that the worker probably felt very threatened and perhaps nervous/scared with the way that the manager was behaving, as yelling at someone is abusive and unprofessional. The employee either had to scramble back to work quickly, sacrificing their break, or got so upset that they may have gone to upper management to complain. Yelling at an employee is unacceptable behavior, no matter the circumstances.
69	high	It probably demoralized the co-worker. I doubt it helped much
70	low	I think the work did not take too kindly to being yelled at. The worker decided to take his time to getting the project done.
71	low	The worker probably finished the project as fast as they could but lost all respect for the manager and probably will look for a new job.
72	high	I doubt anything happened as a consequence to the manager’s behavior. It seems managers can get away with basically anything so long as it’s not illegal. The worker probably felt pretty angry inside but worried about retaliation if they said anything.
73	low	I think the worker lost trust in the manager and was no longer motivated to help. The worker probably felt resentment and did not feel like they should give their best effort to the project.
74	high	The employee got back to work and stopped slacking off. The worker was probably upset.
75	high	I don’t think anything happened. There are no consequences for the manager’s behavior. Work was probably much more stressful for employees after that.
76	low	I doubt anything happened to the manager. Though I hope he apologized for the way he spoke to his employee
77	high	The worker was most likely stressed out afterward and got back to work, but not necessarily out of confidence about getting the project done and more out of fear that the boss was going to yell at them again
78	high	The worker probably continued on with what they were doing then. The worker was probably offended, but had no choice, but to get it done. The manager went on with their day.
79	low	I think that the worker probably felt shocked, and probably would also have felt some mix of sadness, anger, and embarrassment. The worker may have worked at a faster pace under the pressure, but the worker may also have lost productivity, as the heightened emotions of the situation would be difficult conditions to work under. I think that the worker probably lost trust in the manager.
80	high	I would hope that this manager would be disciplined in some way. I have had terrible managers like this, and it certainly didn’t make me want to work faster or better for them. I really can’t blame the workers reaction here, almost a passive/aggressive behavior.
81	high	The workers will be on their feet and be trying to do their best so as not to get reprimanded by the manager
82	high	The worker was scared and afraid of the consequences. So they worked faster and maybe made more mistakes. It was not a conducive environment for the worker and instilled bad traits more than anything else.
83	high	The worker was shocked, embarrassed and angered. He raised his voice to the manager in response.
84	low	The employee probably lost respect for the manager. He should have simply stated “Hey we don’t really have time to slack on our work. This deadline is quickly approaching.”
85	high	I think the worker promptly got back to work. I imagine the worker was embarrassed and upset, but quickly got back to the task at hand.
86	low	The worker was most likely upset and even more stressed. They may have tried to work harder but sometimes when there is that much stress and pressure on a person they are likely to make mistakes.
87	low	I imagine the worker was a little shook by it. The workers mood was probably affected for sure. He may have got him to work faster but that could be something that hurts them in the long run.
88	high	The worker would not be happy to be treated like this but would have fear and be motivated to get back to work and do a good job
89	low	I think that there were some sort of disciplinary action taking place.
90	low	The worker was probably embarrassed and lost trust in their manager to not do it again. They may feel resentment toward the manager and feel uncomfortable in the workplace after this.
91	high	I think the worker will be very upset by the situation and feel the manager has no right to speak to the worker like that. The worker might file a complaint against the manager.
92	low	I think it is likely the worker was offended. Unfortunately I assume the employee did comply however I imagine they kept this reaction in mind from the manager.
93	high	If the employee reported the manager, I would think the manager would hopefully be in trouble. Yes, deadlines are important, but so is the mental health of the employees. I think the worker would feel very down and upset about how they were treated.
94	low	I believe the worker responding by acting accordingly and resumed working on the deadline. I think the manager’s behavior helped motivate the worker.
95	high	I feel like the worker got upset as well. I think the workers would be as on edge as the managers in this situation, and this event probably let to them getting into a loud argument. Maybe he quit the next day or got fired.
96	high	I don’t think there was any consequence to the manager. As the worker, I would be scared and afraid to work under a manager like that. I would be stressed out and would think that there was a chance I could lose my job everyday.
97	high	Unfortunately, due to the type of workplace environment described I don’t think that the manager will face negative consequences. I think it would just be another day so to speak.
98	low	I imagine that the worker went back to work immediately after forgoing his lunch. He probably was upset that he couldn’t eat, and wondered why he wasn’t given any help to get this job done.
99	low	The consequence from the manager could have been a written or verbal warning. The worker is probably frustrated for being singled out.
100	high	I imagine, since it’s a competitive workforce that the worker went back to work. He was probably very unhappy about it, but he went back to work.
101	high	He probably felt horrible, went back to work and completed the job on time but was very rushed and the work probably was low quality as a result. He may have also reported the manager depending on the work place.
102	low	The worker that got targeted by the manager worked harder because this person did not want to disappoint their team and manager.
103	low	The worker wasn’t very happy with the manager’s behavior. The manager’s unruly behavior likely decreased morale of all the other workers as well, thereby decreasing the positive and supportive environment as a whole.
104	high	The employee probably help scared and threatened and hastily completed the project. But I would imagine the manager also lost the employees respect and is going to have problems with the employee at a later date.
105	high	I feel the worker was angered at the manager, I know I would be. I would probably take the issue up with HR if possible.
106	high	The worker probably got scared and picked up the pace. I doubt there was any consequence to the managers behavior sadly.
107	high	The worker decided to work a little harder, but with obvious disrespect to the manager. The worker would continue their lazy behavior as soon as possible.
108	high	I think there was no consequence since the space is so competitive.
109	high	I think the worker probably felt unhappy and panicked, and their work may have suffered as a result.
110	high	If this type of interaction was common in this workplace, i imagine the employee begrudgingly continued working immediately. I can’t imagine the employee did their best or gave full effort to the project, but simply didn’t want to get yelled at anymore.
111	low	they were likely terrified of losing their job, so they completed the task. but it must have stirred up feelings of resentment to the manager, and that person probably left the company shortly thereafter.
112	low	The manager probably got reprimanded to some degree. I would imagine. They probably transfer the employee off of the managers team too, if I had to guess
113	low	I am sure the worker was upset by this happening. Even if there wasn’t an immediate confidence, it likely eroded trust on both sides—for manager and worker. Not supportive and didn’t take what the worker’s situation could’ve been. Maybe it was the first break in 5 hours. Maybe it was the 10th—but without asking, there’s no way to know.
114	high	I would say nothing. Issuing a warning of termination, write ups, some type of performance improvement plan is generally legal in a work place. That said, the delivery was hostile and and excessive shouting is something that cant happen on a regular basis without some form of consequences
115	high	I think this would be very upsetting for the worker. If I was that worker, I’d be looking for a new job.
116	high	The worker would have stepped up the pace for fear of removal.
117	low	As a consequence more then likely that employee was scared to not work as hard as he could. But it probably wasn’t his best. Good chance that employee probably quit. I am sure that manager was disciplined for his behavior, and may have been fired or demoted.
118	high	I may have been spoken to. Perhaps even asked to apologize.
119	low	I think that it made everyone take the project very seriously. The worker was probably angry back, but also did the work because they didn’t want to get into anymore trouble.
120	high	The worker felt very pressured and stressed. The worker probably made mistakes during the stress. Worker is trying very hard so that the manager does not yell again.
121	high	The worker was probably frustrated, but he knew he had to work hard. If he got the assignment done, the manager would be happy. If he did not, the manager might yell at him again.
122	high	I am sure the worker went to HR and filed an employee concerns case to ensure that they are under protected status to prevent the employer from taking retributive actions against them.
123	low	The worker probably hurried back to work. I imagine they then picked up the pace to do a better job.
124	low	I would offer support to the employee and talk about the things they need to suceed
125	high	I think the employee would not like their manager at all after this and not care as much about the work they do.
126	low	The worker most likely felt compelled to work at a faster rate albeit at the expense of his approval of his manager.
127	low	he would probably get scolded for doing that. he would be disciplined for that. he would also probably be put on probation.
128	low	The worker was probably caused a lot of stress and anxiety and generally traumatized by the incident.
129	low	I think the manager got the result they wanted, but they likely caused some hostility with that employee, the environment probably doesn’t feel as safe since that feedback was something that could have been shared privately.
130	high	I think the worker likely got up and got to work. I’m sure that is a typical situation although it doesn’t seem to me to be the best way to handle that at all.
131	high	In the context of this organization, I do not think anyone other than perhaps the worker taking a break suffered any consequences. I think the worker likely cut their break short and went back to work.
132	low	I believe the worker was very upset and not appreciated for their work they had all ready done. THe worker probably felt upset and not happy, and probably did not work hard to finish the project.
133	low	the worker probably talked to the manager since he could see that he was under a lot of pressure
134	high	The worker felt demotivated and anxious , leading to decreased productivity. The manager’s harsh approach likely fostered resentment, harming team morale and trust.
135	high	he would be penalized if he does not meet up the deadlibe given
137	high	Well, there could be one of two things that happened. Either the manager’s threat worked and the worker got back to his job out of fear of consequences, or the worker had more of a “screw you” reaction and risked whatever consequences could occur. No worker deserves to be spoken to by a manager in such a manner.
138	high	The worker was probably flustered, which could have led to worsened quality in their work. It is very likely that the consequences resulted in the firing of the employee or a formal complaint against them. Furthermore, the manager could have experienced the same consequences. Everyone involved was stressed, which is not helpful behavior.
139	low	The worker will likely stop slacking and get the job he has been asked to do done before the deadline
140	low	I know without a doubt that the worker felt like he couldn’t open up to/trust their manager anymore. The employee most likely felt closed off and isolated from both the team and the manager.
141	low	I think the worker would have felt belittled. They would have made a complaint
142	low	The worker would be upset and concerned at this behavior. They should go to HR and report this incident.
143	high	I think the manager wpuld need to focus more on what he should do to help solve the issue.
144	low	I think the manager was probably reprimanded and told to speak kinder and address employee issues one on one.
145	high	I think the worker stopped his break and worked harder. The manager should be reprimanded for that behavior, but given the culture in that company I think it’s expected and the norm.
146	low	I hope and think that the manager would either be fired or reprimanded for their actions. And the employee given some sort of explanation, apology and reimbursement
147	low	The worker would likely be upset being yelled at by the manager and would have difficult time focusing on work.
148	low	Possibly quitting. Being yelled at in the face at work is not something people react positive to in this day and age.
149	high	The worker was probably afraid to be so suddenly target by the manager. They probably ended their break abruptly and went back to work to get things done by the imminent deadline.
150	low	It depends on if he was reported or not. If reported, I think he would be made to apoligize to the worker who yelled at and be made to take an anger management in the workplace training.
151	high	the worker needed to work faster and get it all done, there was no issues. the worker worked harder and faster.
152	high	The worker finished their legally required 30 minute uninterrupted break, over which the manager has absolutely no say; if the manager attempts to cut the worker’s break, the manager can be legally held accountable, and can be immediately terminated.
153	high	If his behavior was reported by the worker, it is likely the manager may have to attend anger management courses. I would image the worker has PTSD from such an unprofessional moment in the workplace.
154	high	The worker likely felt embarrassed and stressed, working faster out of fear but with lower quality. Over time, they might lose trust in the manager or consider leaving.
155	low	The worker became flustered and upset. The worker’s performance probably was worse because of his feelings and not being appreciated.
156	high	I think that a manager acting like this will receive much worse quality of work than one that is caring and understanding. I know that if my manager did this I would not want to be a good employee.
157	high	I think the worker was less motivated to get the task done.
158	low	The manager was wrong to “take it out” on the worker. The worker no doubt was shocked that they were being blamed for something that wasn’t all of their doing.
159	high	I believe that it was only reinforced in the employee’s mind that he is not good enough for this environment. I think as a result of this, his humanity towards himself and others was slightly chipped away.
160	high	The worker probably was upset and decided to put his anger to action by working better.
161	low	Getting loud with an employee like that runs the risk of building resentment, especially if the team was otherwise very cooperative and supportive of each other. Such behavior could even result in the employees locking ranks against the manager and holding a grudge. At least, if I were in that workplace I would prefer to join forces against an adversarial manager.
162	low	The worker was probably yelled at and threatened to be fired. The worker was stressed, angry, and humiliated.
163	low	I suspect the worker would have been upset but also motivated to finish the project. After completing the project the worker would probably consider looking for a better place to work.
164	low	I think the consequences was hurting the trust and safety that the client felt.
165	high	I would quit the job. I am not dealing with this type of thing ever in my life no matter what.
166	high	I think the worker was angry about being yelled at but went back to work and rushed to get the workload finished out of fear.
167	high	The worker probably was upset and didn’t want to be extra productive and felt singled out
168	low	I would assume that the manager would be reprimanded by their superior. I don’t think that the worker would respond positively to that kind of communication.
169	low	the consequences of the manager might somewhat be a form of backlash, have the worker do more works under pressure. this would leave the worker frightened.
170	high	I would imagine the worker was upset, and would bring up the incident to leadership or human resources. Law requires employees to take breaks, and we don’t know what is happening in the worker’s personal life. Its really out of line to shout at anybody for this kind of thing.
171	low	I think it could go both ways they could either work more quickly or try to find a new job since the manager yelled at them instead of calmly speaking.
172	low	I think the worker felt humiliated and upset that he was targeted. His work most likely took a downward turn because of this.
173	low	This person would likely not trust the manager in the future to allow them to manage their own time. There is also likely a breakdown of respect.
174	low	Even though the manager was under pressure, it is very wrong to come at a worker with rudeness because that goes against the ethics of work , i understand he wanted to deliver but it was wrong to reprimand the worker and i believe it would bring a lot of tension between them which is not nice and definitely the work will be affected greatly
175	high	The worker was most likely under a lot of stress, was probably tense, and followed the orders fast. It could’ve lead the worker to produce more mistakes being rushed.
176	low	I think the worker went back to work and resented the boss.
177	low	The worker must have been stressed by the manager’s threats and inappropriate behavior. They may have completed the work in the short-term to appease the manager, but they are already considering finding other employment for a company with leadership that does not treat their employees so poorly.
178	low	The worker felt embarrassed and discouraged. Their morale and productivity suffered, as did the relationship with their supervisor.
179	low	Manager should be warned by their supervisor as threats don’t motivate others. Try to help rather than find fault
180	high	I have a feeling nothing happened to the manager. I would expect the workers reaction to be one of shock and then anger.
181	low	I think the worker was probably very upset and feels resentment for being shouted at and the work suffered as a result.
182	low	He probably increased his pace and did the work quickly
183	high	The worker most likely began to resent the manager. It creates a stressful work environment and causes people to quit.
184	high	The worker probably had no other choice than to do as the manager told them to do. Most employees are powerless in situations where the manager exerts their power and authority over them.
185	low	If an employee felt they were under quite a bit of pressure from their manger and that manger yelled at them, it very well may have a negative affect on that employee, by possibly walking off the job, or becoming despondent.
186	high	I think the worker was likely frightened by the manager’s yelling. They may have been more motivated to get the project done and gotten it done, but they may also begin to question whether they should quit their job.
187	high	I think the worker was intimidated by the manager’s threats that they worked faster. I feel like the intimidation worked for the manager.
188	low	The worker probably either said they could only go as fast as they can and needed a break to clear their mind a bit, or if they were caught on a really bad day, they just walked away from the job because you don’t talk to your workers like that.
189	low	Either the worker didn’t try harder at all out of spite which led to the manager getting more frustrated and angry or he did work harder but disliked his manager even more.
190	low	I think the worker was probably very surprised by the manager’s behavior, as this does not fit the vision of a supportive, comfortable environment that was described to us earlier. I think the worker would have been very hurt by it, but would have worked hard to get the job done faster.
191	low	I’m sure the worker complained to someone about the manager to his teammates. I don’t think the managers behavior had any negative impact on himself other than the worker having disdain towards the manager. The worker probably went back to work, but was less than enthusiastic about doing his job.
192	low	I imagine that the manager lost respect in the eyes of the other workers.
193	low	He got demoted and does not have any managerial duties anymore
194	low	nothing because the manager did nothing wrong. was just saying if something dont change it will change.
195	high	I feel the worker most likely lost motivation to perform their work. Workers are entitled to breaks, and I doubt the worker felt it was fair to be yelled at simply for taking a break. The worker probably did not respond directly to the manager’s outburst, but I do expect that the worker will put forth minimal effort from now on because they will have no desire to please a manager like that.
196	high	I’m sure the worker felt belittled being treated that way. Everyone needs a break, even on a hard deadline (maybe even moreso!) I am not sure what the consequence was for the manager, but hopefully he was reprimanded and maybe put on probation of some sort, as well as giving the worker an apology for his behavior.
197	high	I would feel threatened and also scared for my job stability. This is not a good encounter with the manager.
198	low	the worker likely felt demotivated, frustrated and possibly fearful after been shouted at
199	low	Judging from the previous response, this sounds out of alignment with the general atmosphere of this workplace. I feel like the employee may feel surprise and upset by this interaction.
200	low	The employee most likely got disengaged, avoiding speaking up or taking initiative for fear of future criticism. Their productivity and morale are likely to have dropped over time as they distrusted the manager’s intentions and withdrew from team collaboration in order to reduce risk. This caused a domino effect, suffocating innovation and opnness throughout the team
201	low	I think they got called in and had a discussion about what action to take.
202	low	If I was the worker in this situation, I would be apologetic and try to work faster. I may decide to steer clear of this particular manager in future, if possible.
203	low	I would hope that this manager was fired for yelling, along with other things. If not fired he should be demoted because his attitude is not one that should manage a team.
204	high	I feel he was probably yelled at from his boss and that is why he took it out on me. I would try to be understanding however, this would make me very upset.
205	low	I doubt the manager faced any consequences for such behavior. A lot of times this type of behavior is normalized, unfortunately.
206	low	I would think the worker would be extremely upset. I also suspect this would in turn cause a decrease in overall work product and end result of the quality of work in the future.
207	high	I imagine the worker probably returned to work and tried to complete whatever task had been assigned but this certainly decreased their respect towards the manager. The worker would probably hold a grudge and be much less willing to do what the manager says.
208	high	It depends on what kind of person they are. If someone yelled at me like that I would quit my job and tell the manager to kiss my ass
209	high	I would think the worker would go back to the project because he/she would be afraid the manager would assign the project to someone else.
210	high	Nothing will happen to the shithead manager. He will probably get rewarded. The worker will probably later quit or be fired.
211	low	I imagine the worker was not very happy about it. I’d like to think there would be negative consequences for the managers outburst.
212	high	If I was the worker I would report the managers behavior to the HR department so the manager would receive consequences hopefully for acting unprofessional in the workplace. A manager does not get to shout in the face of an employee just because they are mad. A consequence to the manager probably was nothing more than just a meeting with HR where they most likely told him not to do it again or he could be suspended.
213	low	I believe that the worker felt uncomfortable and disrespected by the manager and was maybe reported.
214	high	i feel that the worker probably went back to work and didnt take anymore breaks for fear of the conquences
215	low	I think the worker probably did the opposite of what the manager wanted. How you speak to an employee will decide if the employee will do the job that a manger expects.
216	high	Likely flustered and embarrassed. Probably attempted to accomplish more immediately following and suffered undue stress.
217	low	The worker was probably intimidated and felt disrespected by the manager by yelling at him in front of his co-workers.
218	low	The worker’s reaction would probably be they would be stressed out from that response. They would probably be nervous too if they couldn’t complete that project by the deadline
219	high	I think the worker probably got the job done very quickly, but there will some lasting resentment towards the manager from the worker for the foreseeable future which I believe to be a net negative.
220	low	The managers behavior doesn’t foster the same sense of encouragement and teamwork described in the company culture. I think the employee was probably discouraged by the managers behavior and morale probably went down at the workplace.
221	low	I think the worker was probably very upset, and did not work any faster. Yelling at people does not help anything.
222	low	the worker likely felt humilliated and resentful maybe they froze up or nodded silently just to end the confrotation but inside their motivation probably dropped even if they rushed to finish the project their trust in the manager would be dammaged longterm they might start avoiding taking breaks even when needed or secretly look for other jobs because fear doesn’t build loyalty it just breeds stress and disconnection
223	high	It would most likely be a deduction in bonus or a missed chance for promotion.
224	high	Hopefully the employee reported it to HR. That kind of behavior from management it is disgusting and childish.
225	high	Either the worker was intimidated and went back to work, or possibly stood up to the manager. I wouldn’t tolerate that. External motivation of this nature just is not necessary.
226	high	The worker who was targeted by the manager will become furious and be shocked with his reactions
227	high	Most likely, there were no consequences to the manager directly. The worker most likely felt the pressure from the manager and probably began to work on the project again, however, under more pressure, thus potentially lowering the quality of work. I imagine the situation was not a comfortable one to be in for the worker.
228	high	I think most peoples barks are worse than the bites. If the worker was able to complete the project by deadline and it was solid work there wouldn’t be an actual consequence.
229	low	I think that this manager got reprimanded and punished in some sort of way, got a warning.
230	high	I imagine they picked up the pace as demanded, but they probably felt defeated. I’d hope they went home that evening to re-evaluate their place of employment.
231	low	I imagine the worker was caught off guard and felt annoyed the manager was being so rude. I think the employee probably would have began to work harder but they felt some anger at the manager.
232	low	I think the worker heard what the manager was saying and started working at a faster pace, sometimes as a manager you have to get on employees who you feel arent working as well as they should be. Its your job as a manager to make sure everyone is in line. This worker needed to hear that, maybe not the shouting but in a more calmly nicer way. Overall i hope the worker stopped messing around and got the job done.
233	high	The worker was upset by the actions of the manager.
234	high	Unfortunately I think maybe nothing happened to the manger. He might have been called into HR as a formality but if the environment is bad and if he did that in the first place he probably feels there would be no consequence. I think the employee would be upset, angry and defensive. They would not be motivated to produce quality work.
235	low	the worker probably got really upset. maybe they argued. I think he’d probably buckle down and work harder though, since no one wants to get fired in this economy.
236	low	Depending on the attitude of the coworker either went and did the project immediately or he went to HR and complained about the way he was treated. It’s never OK to yell at someone in a work setting.
237	low	After that happened, the worker resented the manager but gave him the benefit of the doubt, and hypothesized that the manager acted that way due to stress.
238	high	The worker would be mad, but I doubt there was anything they could do. If the whole company is the same way this behavior is probably somewhat normalized.
239	high	In the described business, most likely nothing. As I expect that to be pretty common behavior in such work environment. At worst, the manager who yelled would get spoken to and requested to not yell at the lower employees.
240	low	As the worker I would have been upset and embarrassed. I probably would go straight to HR to put in a formal complaint about the manager. I was threatened to pick up the pace while I was on a break. Extremely unprofessional and an uncomfortable environment.
241	low	The worker was probably surprised at the reaction. He wasn’t given an opportunity to express his opinion and was probably disciplined
242	low	I would imagine the worker was upset, because management shouting at employees in front of others is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. If I were the worker, I would see this as a red flag that this was not a professional work environment. Even if this worker was not supposed to be on break or falling behind in their work, there are much more professional ways of handling that which this manager did not utilize.
243	high	I don’t think there was much of a consequence for the manager’s behavior unless they were reported to HR. The consequence towards the employee, though, is that they probably felt even more overwhelmed and stressed out especially if they’re getting yelled at in front of everyone.
244	high	The worker was probably upset and possibly scared. The worker likely got back to work and tried to focus on the task, but ultimately they realized this work environment was toxic and left the job.
245	low	I can imagine they felt unfairly targeted, especially if they were working as a team. They were probably pretty upset.
246	low	He probably shut down and just took it but is probably looking for another job.
247	low	In this workplace the employee would have been very upset. This is probably not what they are used to, but perhaps they would understand that the manager was under pressure from above and talk to them about this incident further. They would wait, however, push through and get the job done as quickly as they could.
248	high	The worker was probably stressed out or felt really bad about themselves. I don’t think it would be that effective, they may get back to work but the morale and motivation of the worker will suffer, making them likely to burn out sooner and quit.
249	high	I think the worker had a valid reason regarding the manager’s behavior. I think the manager should be terminated due to misconduct.
250	low	I think the manager having an aggressive behavior toward the worker had a negative effect on the workers performance. I think the worker would not work any different due to the aggressive nature of the manager’s behavior. I think a more supportive and caring approach would have been a better option in this situation.
251	high	They probably got back to work and completed the task as quickly as possible. They surpressed their reaction to the hostility as we all have to do to keep our jobs, sometimes.
252	high	I don’t think something would happen to this manager. They obviously act like this way because they get away with it without repercussions
253	low	I’m sure that the worker stepped up their work in fear of losing their job. this kind of “incentive” to work usually backfires as the employee, in trying to get the job done faster is more prone to making mistakes.
254	low	He was hurt by the outburst and could not stop thinking about it so I am sure that his work suffered as a result.
255	high	I think the manager likely gave him worse work as a consequence. The worker likely had their mood affected in a negative way, and may have possibly even performed worse at their job because of it.
256	high	I’m sure the worker was shocked, and honestly probably upset by this. While there are times to be doing some hard work, there are some times where you can take it easy, also. The manager probably felt bad about it after, too. Sometimes people go through hardships and take it out on others.. doesn’t make it okay though.
257	high	The worker would have been very stressed and anxious, and probably pretty angry too! But they probably worked much harder to get things done because they were worried about their job.
258	high	I find it likely the employee was upset by the managers actions. I think this would cause the manager of get the opposite of what he wanted, As the employee probably had no desire to perform well after the incident.
259	high	the worker probably reluctantly got back to work and tried to finish work as quickly as he can
260	low	the worker probably carried his head a little lower and then the following day probably quit and told the manager that he won’t be disrespected and he will not recommend anyone to work for this company.
261	high	The worker would be very surprised at first, but later on to continue the job they need breaks. Also, the worker would just say that ok, then execute the consequences you mentioning.
262	low	I think the employee worked harder but was also upset about getting yelled at by his supervisor.
263	high	In this environment, the worker probably ended his break and went right back to doing the work the manager wanted him to work on.
264	high	Nothing, all the worker could do was to simply follow the manger’s order. Given the toxic workplace there, the manager would not be disciplined. Instead, upper management would most likely agree with the manager’s action.
265	low	That manager didn’t handle that correctly. Don’t yell at someone in front of others. Take them aside and quietly use language that will evoke fear in them. That way when the worker lashes out, they are the one who looks unreasonable.
266	high	The worker probably felt pretty stressed because of the manager’s reaction, but they also might have been somewhat used to these types of outbursts due to the hostile work environment. It likely shook him for a few minutes before he got back to work.
267	low	I think the worker did the work begrudgingly and soured his own feelings about the workplace.
268	high	I think the worker would have lashed out at the manager for his behavior and possible gotten fired.
269	low	The worker may or may not have cut their break short and worked at a more intense pace. I think their overall morale was probably negatively affected by the interaction.
270	low	i think the manager may have got spoken to by HR if the incident was reported. I believe the worker had harbor resentment and anger towards them for embarrassing them in public and making then look incompetent in front of work colleagues.
271	low	He should find out who his supervisor boss and report him. He could go to HR if there is one. He should do it not just for himself but for the other workers too. I’m sure he if he was treated that way others were too
272	low	I think the worker didn’t trust the manager and was more cautious in the future.
273	high	I imagine that the worker was upset and scared of losing his job. The worker probably said that he was sorry and he felt bad about it.
274	high	The worker was likely extremely upset and was not in a good head space to complete the task because they were hurt.
275	low	If an office environment is collaborative and everyone looks out for each other, this shouldn’t happen. There would be swift consequences for such bad behavior from a manager. The worker would feel terrible and hopefully be able to report the incident to HR.
276	low	I think the worker probably reacted negatively to this interaction. I imagine they would have become unhappy with the situation and provided less than their best effort while completing the task.
277	low	There would be no consequence of the manager’s behavior because he is a manager. The most he would do is apologize.
278	low	The worker most likely lost some respect for his manager, as that’s not a socially acceptable behavior for a leader.
279	high	I think that it was upsetting to the worker. They probably needed to take even more time to calm down from the episode and then they probably were not as motivated to help the supervisor that just shouted at them. Perhaps they even started a job search.
280	high	he got yelled at for taking a break. there is a deadline and the manger saw the worker taking a break and didn’t like it.
281	high	He probably got nothing bad happened to him. The worker was probably upset.
282	high	The manager could have received a demotion in position.
283	high	The manager is under a lot of pressure. Sometimes it will have a person act of character.
284	high	The worker just kept on working and didn’t even stop to use the restroom. The worker just kept on working until the project was complete.
285	low	He will want less to go above and beyond. Loyalty definitely fades after such encounters
286	low	I think the worker was probably upset but the manager did not have any repercussions for the behavior.
287	low	This form of management typically does not work well and breeds resentment and lower work performance.
288	high	I think there were no consequences the the manager’s behavior. I think that worker who was targeted would develope a very bad attitude and a strong dislike for the manager.
289	high	hopefully manager was reprimanded, and the employee for now just went back to work
290	high	Considering the environment of the office, probably nothing.
291	low	I would imagine that unless there is a large salary or other reason, the employee would start looking for another job. The manager is very unprofessional and may be the cause of the problems he hopes to solve with such responses.
292	high	The worker probably got the work done that was told to him
293	low	This is abuse. Every upsetting and not okay. This is hostile work environment.
294	low	I think the worker probably became upset from the manager’s behavior; it never feels good to be yelled at and belittled by someone. I bet they felt even more pressure to get the project done and less enthusiastic about doing the work. They already felt like they were under immense pressure anyway, so I can imagine that the manager yelling at them just added another layer of stress to it. If the project got done faster, I bet it was not done any better. If anything, it would’ve been rushed and the end product would be less good.
295	high	Fired immediately, as a manager you have far more to lose
296	low	The worker probably got upset and it made them feel like not working as hard anymore. They probably either quit or gave less effort in their work in order to complete it faster.
297	high	I suspect the worker felt pretty bad about his work environment and maybe even contemplated being vengeful or contemplated circumventing his managers authority by undermining him. there’s also a possibility of a flighty response where the worker decided to pick up their pace in an effort to avoid future, negative interactions from their manager.
298	high	I bet nothing happened to the manager who shouted at other workers.
299	low	The worker was demoralized, and wanted to leave the situation immediately. The speed of work might have increased but the quality likely went down.
300	high	The worker either tried harder or said screw it. They could have just quit and said the money isn’t worth this crap.
301	high	I think the manager is threating him with loosing his job, but I guess I’m a different kind of worker. If my manager yelled at me we would be having a standoff, and I would most likely be finding another job.
302	low	I believe the worker lost trust in their supervisor. Having a big deadline is one thing, but to keep a worker from taking a break just because there is a deadline does not allow the worker to reset or do what may be needed to provide a better product.
303	low	The worker likely felt an immense amount of pressure, plus a sense of unfairness that their manager wanted them to work without breaks.
304	low	I’d imagine the worker became more frazzled by being demeaned by their manager and perhaps less motivated to complete the work.
305	low	i cant say persay but i love to believe in the saying that what goes around comes around
306	high	The consequences were maybe getting talked to about their job or getting fired
308	low	The manager’s reaction lowered morale for anybody that saw it. The employee being yelled at may have deserved it but that was not the correct way for the manager to handle it.
309	high	It sounds like not much didn’t happen, but the worker was in fear.
310	high	In an environment like this, I think the worker is not “used to” this kind of behavior from management, but in some ways “expects” it(harsh treatment, demanding). I think that the worker ended up working even harder and picking up the pace- I think the worker got back to work and tried to meet the deadline and show extra effort.
311	high	I’m pretty sure that the worker was very upset to be talked down to. The manager should have been reprimanded for their behavior.
312	low	The worker probably got the task done, but they were under a lot more stress than they would typically be. There’s probably a lot of resentment for this manager now.
313	high	I believe the worker would be upset and extraordinarily pressured into completing the assignment, also scared to take any more breaks. I believe in that environment the manager would not face any consequences.
314	low	The worker did not take the response well and probably felt disrespected. The manager response probably hurt work moral and put more pressure on the employee to perform as well. The manager probably got reported for his actions to HR because the manager was definitely out of line.
315	high	I believe that the worker was very demotivated by the encounter. While they may have been worried in the moment about losing their job and picked up the pace, I believe when they went home they likely started updating their resume and thought about finding a better place to work.
316	high	he sped up and focused on his work basically its best to split work from emotion
317	low	The worker probably felt shamed and upset. They may have gotten the work done faster but it likely made them unhappy and distrustful of the manager in the future.
318	low	I’m sure he felt guity, upset, confused and resentful. He is allowed breaks and he might would feel like back talking to him in a unprofessional manner.
319	high	I think the manager’s behavior was called out and reported, hopefully. It also probably placed many other workers present in a stressful mind frame as a result.
320	low	the worker will be angry but he will put more effort towards the project
321	low	The worker likely felt very upset at being rushed when they were just taking a break after having to shoulder this responsibility on their own. The worker may have shouted back.
322	low	The worker likely became annoyed and agitated at the manager. Loyalty to the manager and the “next time” for when they need to worker to surge will likely be minimal.
323	high	I think the worker probably felt poorly about themselves and were less productive.
324	low	I think he was likely enabled by his leadership team so nothing happened. The worker was taken by surprised and likely felt humiliated and belittled.
325	high	I think the manager’s behavior likely made the worker feel very bad and also work faster.
326	low	Often times in cases like these, the worker simply grits their teeth and gets the work done as fast as they can, probably sacrificing a lot of quality in the work. There is always a breaking point where the worker will have to weigh their own options, whether it’s engaging in a heated argument with their manager or quitting their job.
327	high	Very unprofessional to allow stressful work situations to get to the point you mistreat other employees. Any employee seeing this will have a poor reaction and likely start looking for other work.
328	low	I suppose what happened is the worker went back to completing the task and perhaps worked a bit faster. But I think the worker internally might lose respect for the manager; the wording suggests the manager acted rudely, and maybe they did, but assuming that was the case, then the worker’s image of the manager was probably made worse.
329	low	DON’T REACT TO YOUR BOSS’S ANGER , ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO WHEN YOUR BOSS GETE ENRAGED IS NOT RESPOND. DO NOT REACT, ESPECIALLY IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE ALSO ANGRY. DISPLAYING ANGER BACK MAY LEAD TO YOUR BOSS RAISING THEIR VOICE OR EVEN REPORTING YOU DEPOSITE STARTING THE CONFLICT.
330	high	The worker will report him. The work won’t be done very efficiently.
331	low	Was the break mandated? If the worker had a right to the break, the worker should not feel threatened. Perhaps the manager needs to recognize worker’s rights. I think either way the worker would feel threatened and would be upset.
332	low	I think he or she was surprised by the manager’s reaction, and probably got frightened about the possibility of getting penalized or fired. He or she might be less appreciative of the company in general after that.
333	low	The worker would be reluctant to finish his task. The worker would also resent the manager and lose trust in the manager.
334	low	That manager was probably reported for his behavior. It was unnecessary and it sounds like there are guidelines in place for that kind of situation.
335	high	After I was yelled at, my enthusiasm for getting the work done was plummeted. Are the consequences of me not finishing termination?
336	low	i feel that the manager was counselled on workplace behavior. the worker probably started crying or angrily told the manager he was on a break which he was entitled to by law
337	low	I imagine that worker probably got startled and now feels rushed to get work done. Maybe they would make mistakes from rushing to put out work which would look bad on the manager so I imagine the worker would be under a lot of pressure.
338	low	The coworker likely had a very negative reaction to that behavior which is very justified for abusive behavior like that. Only the manager should have been punished.
339	high	I think there would be a dip in morale and distance with the employee. stress my affect their performance and cause unnecessary accidents.
340	low	The worker felt demoralized and stressed resulting in decrease motivation and engagement. They have lost respect for the manager and started viewing workplace as hostile environment potentially affecting their performance and willingness to collaborate.
341	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager because of it and I think the worker probably did as he/she was told.
342	high	The work probably became incredibly stressed, self conscious, and anxious. They were out under a lot of pressure and may have an even more difficult time completing their task.
343	high	I believe the worker would pick up the pace.The worker needs the job.
344	high	The worker was probably in fear for his job at that point. In the short term, her probably dropped what he was doing and went back to work. In the longer term though, he probably started looking for another job if he wasn’t already. I know I would.
345	high	Probably HR or a warning I hope the worker explained that his break was needed
346	low	I imagine that the worker was shocked by the manager’s outburst, but I also assume the worker sprung into action.
347	low	the worker may have picked up the pace out of fear but probably lost respect for the manager after that episode.
348	low	I’m sure the worker was taken aback at the situation, and was probably very upset. Being yelled at isn’t going to make any work go faster. In addition, being yelled at would just make the person more less motivated to even get it done. Breaks are imperative for work and in general. Being yelled at by the manager would decrease the worker’s positive views of working for the company.
349	low	I think that the manager was subject to social isolation within the group due to his behavior. I don’t think that there was any kind of formal punishment other than that.
350	high	The worker would be stressed and anxious, and the manager would likely be fired, if I was in charge. I would allow the worker the rest of the day off, paid, and immediately look for a replacement for the manager.
351	high	The worker probably took their time the rest of the day and started prepping their resume to look for another job. No one wants to work for jerks or assholes no matter how important the deadline is. The manager should have taken a more active role into expediting the work in order to meet deadline.
352	high	Based on the work environment I think the worker would possibly become insubordinate and demand a pay increase as leverage to get the project done on time. I think the worker would be looking out for their own self interest so would maybe use the big deadline to their advantage to benefit.
353	low	The worker was probably not disciplined at the time because the manager still needed the work done but I wouldn’t be surprised if the worker was let go or demoted afterwards.
354	high	I believe the employee attempted to increase their performance. But their morale will definitely suffer and if this continues it will eventually breed a toxic and unmotivated attitude. This employee will eventually switch to only doing their job and doing just enough to not get in trouble until that is unsustainable, possibly eventually leading to getting fired for attitude and performance or quitting because they cannot take it anymore.
355	high	The manager could be reprimanded by HR because overtly emotional behavior in the workplace is unacceptable and unprofessional. That display would also undermine his authority among the workers.
356	low	I think the worker was probably even less motivated than before to help meet the deadline. Nobody likes to be yelled at, and everyone needs and deserves to take a break now and then.
357	high	I would assume the worker who was targeted by the manager retaliated in some form of way, either by contacting HR for harassment/threats or lazily did the remainder of their work. The worker’s reaction would probably was a bit of confusion and then anger over the situation that they may not have directly caused.
358	high	The worker becaamr frustrated and might have left or reported it to higher up’s.
359	low	I would hope the manager was corrected. His outburst seems inappropriate, and perhaps he can not handle the pressure of his title.
360	low	I think the worker probably started looking for a new job. Most people aren’t willing to put up with that sort of behavior.
361	high	The worker would be very upset and would probably quit. No one deserves to be treated and yelled at that way, especially whem the work had not done anything wrong. I would hope the employees would report this manager for bad behavior.
362	high	Shock, and the desire to keep their job. I think they would also be upset, maybe upset enough to go to hr.
363	low	I am unhappy with the manager’s response by yelling. Yelling does not to solve the situation.
364	high	I think the worker was intimidated but they ended up doing what the manager wanted.
365	high	I believe that the worker will be hurt and shocked at the manager’s behavior and most likely they will report the manager’s behavior as a form of grievance.
366	high	In this kind of environment it surely eroded even more trust for the worker.
367	high	This worker could easily face depression or burn-out. If this job is crucial to his way of living, that would be a nightmare for him / her
368	low	I would feel attacked, i deserve my break and we could have a private conversation when I’m done.
369	low	I would say that the worker had a lot of pressure and had to get done with the project done super fast, otherwise, that person might get fired.
370	high	It could have gone several ways. Either the employee was fearful of losing their job and got right on it and tried to get the project done as fast as possible; or, they got an attitude and figured they just didn’t care any more because nothing they seemed to do made any difference and they just did the bare minimum.
371	high	The worker probably give them the minimum effort on the product because they were upset about being yelled out. they are grown adults, they shouldn’t be yelled at because the manager is stressed out.
372	high	The worker probably got to work in the moment, but then told other employees, gossiped, or even complained to the higher ups or quit.
373	high	The worker probably stopped their break and tried to work quickly on the task. I would imagine the worker was frustrated or nervous, and was working quickly solely to avoid punishment, rather than having intrinsic motivation.
374	low	I think the employee probably considered leaving the company. They might have been disgruntled to finish the project
375	low	being yelled at while taking a break sucks, i know because i hjave been there especially when you have been working all day and decided to take a breather and it would seem like you are just lazying around and not wanting to get the job done.
376	high	I do not think that there are any consequences besides negative ones. I think that forcing others to work or work through breaks will just cause people to be resentful and want to look for other employment.
377	high	Worker probably dismissed the attitude, went back to work and later reported the manager’s behavior to HR. The worker would definitely find a better place to not get caught taking it easy.
378	low	I think the worker was scared. He tried to work harder and take less breaks afterwards.
379	low	I do not think that a manager should act like this ever. I creates a negative environment and makes people afraid. Even if someone has done something wrong, the worker should not put up with this and the manager should be reprimanded by a superior. The manager should not be fired but there should be consequences.
380	low	I think the manager sounds terrible. I would not enjoy working for this manager
381	high	The worker probably took the piss and picked up the pace.
382	low	the worker probably became more stressed out and tense. his work quality most likely suffered. the worker was probably upset, angry and annoyed at his managers reaction
383	low	The worker made a choice between two options. The first option would be to respond negatively, make excuses and urge the manager to find someone else who can complete the task more quickly. The second option would be to respond positively, acknowledging the necessity of completing the task quickly and commit to getting it done as soon as possible, thereby respectfully acknowledging the authority of the manager. A good worker worthy of keeping his job and perhaps advancing in the company, would choose the second option.
384	high	He probably was very stressed out, and angry at being treated this way. It probably impacted his job performance.
385	high	The worker probably felt awful about it. They probably questioned the integrity of their work and now also feel awful for taking breaks.
386	high	i hope the manager was reprimanded for abusive behavior. because an employee is likely to quit having to endure that behavior everyday. but i’m sure the employee got back to work to complete their tasks.
387	low	Depending on the organization, the employee could have gone to human resources to report the incident.
388	high	I imagine the worker would feel put down and not want to continue working there. They may even do a worse job do to low morale.
389	high	I don’t think the behavior of the manager motivated the worker to do a better job.
390	low	Workplaces with toxic behavior usually have little consequence for the people in positions of authority. In most situations it’s your word against theirs and no consequences ever happen for the people in charge.
391	low	The worker might have started picking up the pace and working harder and faster to get the job done. It may have riled up the employee.
392	high	I think nothing changed and the work was completed as fast it it could. This event only served to continue the toxic environment
393	low	The worker probably resented the manager, and lost respect for them.
394	high	I think the employee resents the manager and is less willing to work effectively. The worker may do the job, but they will complain about it internally and to coworkers.
395	high	Nothing likely happened to formally address the managers behavior at least. Possibly they received a trivial warning of upper management, but even that is doubtful.
396	high	The worker probably felt verbally abused and went immediately went back to work and wasn’t productive because of how they were treated.
397	high	he would be angry which made him secretly resent the manager
398	high	the worker got scared and immediately picked up the pace afraid of losing his job he will be more anxious and less effective
399	low	I think that the worker who was yelled at would have probably felt very upset and embarrassed by the interaction with their manager. I don’t think it’s every appropriate for a manager to yell at someone and I’d hope that there would have been consequences for that behavior.
400	low	the law of karma what you do will always come back to you good or bad
401	high	This managers behavior is very counterproductive. In order to facilitate a high production and emotionally stable workplace you have to value the work and mental health balance that comes with a high-pressure environment. This employee probably ended up way more strong and stressed than they would have if just allowed to take the break and breath.
402	high	I don’t think anything likely happened as a consequence for this manager. The business is probably glad to see results no matter what means are taken to achieve them.
403	high	The worker would feel humiliated and offended. Perhaps the lyrics of a song “I got to get out of this place…” came to mind.
404	high	I am sure the worker felt embarrassed number one, not to mention humiliated and probably upset and angry for their manager yelling at them like that. I would hope that the manager would have apologized for starters
405	low	The worker felt like the manager was singling him out, unfairly. The worker did not like being harshly reprimanded in front of others. The worker’s job satisfaction and confidence decreased as a result of the incident.
406	low	The employee would feel unsupported and under pressure. Hopefully the manager would calm down and discuss their behavior and emotions and check in with the employee’s progress. If the employee was not being productive and did not do good work, I would expect some consequences, but if the employee was taking a break and had made good progress, I would expect the manager to acknowledge that.
407	low	The manager went out of his/her way to work with the situation so the worker was happy with things.
408	high	The worker was probably given fewer tasks and eventually let go or snubbed at work by the manager. I would see if there were any way to get help from a coworker or I would possibly work later to make sure the project was done.
409	low	The worker probably felt stressed and demotivated, affecting productivity and team morale.
410	high	The worker perhaps returned to work and worked a bit faster in that moment, but likely felt significant resentment and possibly started looking around for other jobs where they would not be shouted at like this situation. It also depends on the industry in which this happened. This is expected/the norm in some industries and not in others. If it happened in an industry where this was the norm, the worker probably doubled down and worked harder. In other industries, the worker could have filed an HR complaint for unfair treatment.
411	low	It is likely that the worker gave him a dirty look and went back to what he was doing, continuing to be under stress. The moment this worker got the chance, he would speak to other workers secretly or after work to see if they were interested in unionizing. This worker who was likely underpaid to be under that amount of stress for only a small scrap of the benefit of upper management/ownership receives, will be in a very bad mood for a while, suffer the health effects of stress and feeling powerless while also loathing the conmpany and seek the very next opportunity to either quit or unionize.
412	high	The worker probably thought about quitting right there, if he didn’t already. I wouldn’t blame him - there is no excuse for a manager’s reaction like that.
413	high	They had an awful day, worked in awful conditions, hated being there, hated the manager, didn’t do any better, and questioned their life.
414	low	I think the worker probably internalized the stress and it probably affected the quality of his work. There is also a chance that the worker might consider looking for another job.
415	low	i think the manager act very scold the employee not to over use the break when the time is limit to the work
416	low	I would think that kind of behavior would bring down moral in the work place and i would think that other people working for them might now want to work as hard or put in the effort as much.
417	high	I would like to consider that as a consequence to the manager’s actions he was reprimanded. That kind of behavior is unacceptable. The worker’s reaction to it should be feeling of some kind of support in the workplace. In this workplace though, it doesn’t seem that this would happen.
418	high	The worker probably started to overwork as a result of the manager’s Behavior.
419	low	One or more of the other workers probably offered to help the chatised worker. The project would be completed on time.
420	low	If I were that worker, that would be a surprising reaction. I would feel bad, yet I would be angry because I was interrupted on my break, which is something that is a time. I am entitled to. Wow, I would not snap back to the supervisor or manager who confronted me in such an embrace manner, I would later let them know that I did not think it was appropriate, even though it appeared as though the manager was under some undue stress relating to the project. I would ask in the future the manager simply ask me because as an employee for this company or department, his attitude and his behavior does not align with the general atmosphere of my workplace.
421	high	I do not think anything negative happened to the manager, but the worker likely was upset and still worked hard to complete the tasks at hand.
422	low	I would imagine that productivity actually declined, not just in this specific worker but in the team as a whole. Seeing that sort of thing could really damage team morale and it doesn’t help anyone in the end, not even the manager or the manager’s superiors.
423	low	The worker was absolutely not inclined to work any more efficiently or effectively with that weak leadership approach. The manager should have asked if there was anything that they could have provided to that employee in order to help progress their work on that project.
424	low	The worker was totally shocked by such outburst of anger from the manager. Being shouted at in front of everyone, s/he definitely felt hurt and embarrassed of such treatment. S/he might also feel confused and a bit angry. Still, s/he rushed back to the workstation and picked up his/her work.
425	low	I believe the worker quickly went back to his work project and tried to get it done as soon as possible.
426	high	The reaction probably resented and did not like the manager after the interaction. The worker probably returned to work but did not put a lot of effort into the quality and performing efficiently.
427	low	As a consequence of th3 manager’s behavior, the targeted worker likely experienced feelings of stress and anxiety, feeling undervalued and demoralized in their role. This could have led to a decrease in their motivation and engagement at work, possibly causing them to withdraw from their responsibilities or become less willing to contribute ideas. The worker may have also begun to distrust their manager, which could result in reluctance to communicate openly, fearing further criticism or negative repercussions. Ultimately, this toxic interaction could create a rift in morale not just for the targeted individuals, but also among their colleagues, as they witness the negative treatment and may worry about their own job security.
428	high	The worker was most likely very frustrated and mad they were yelled out. Their work was most likely to suffer when being in this mood.
429	low	The worker likely held a grudge, the manager struggled to keep his composure and in result hurt his relationship with the worker. This likely will result poor communication from the worker there-forward.
430	low	I think that the employee finished the project and it got done without issue. The employee probably wasn’t thrilled about being yelled at, but dealt with it and worked through it.
431	low	It doesn’t sound like a place where that would be tolerated. Hard to say what the consequences would be. I sure the employee was shocked and upset.
432	high	He most likely finished the project then started looking for a new job.
433	high	The worker would have to respect the manager even if he or she was already so drained, for being on the manager’s bad side is bad for employees.
434	high	I imagine the worker’s reaction was that of fear and stress. In this environment, there were likely no repurcussions for the manager.
435	low	I don’t think that anything major happened. The manager already express the need to get the job done. He may should have said it in a nicer way.
436	high	I think the worker was likely very upset and frustrated by their manager’s awful behavior and threats, and probably wanted to quit because that’s a lot of pressure to put on someone. I think they probably ultimately ended their break, though, and began to work faster instead of risking repercussions or even their job over the incident.
437	low	One possibility is the worker got back to work and go this task done. Another possibility is that the worker told other managers about the issue and the original manager was spoken to.
438	low	The worker was most likely stressed and demotivated after being yelled at by the manager in front of everyone. The worker is most likely to become angry and resentful instead of inspired.
439	high	The worker was surprised and upset. They didn’t like it.
440	low	Letting emotions guide a manager’s actions is never a good strategy. The worker probably was stressed, disappointed, and most likely started losing or lost trust in their manager.
441	high	I would imagine that the worker would do his best to work more quickly but I’m sure more resentment would build up towards the manager. The manager needs to be more appreciative of his staff.
442	high	I think the worker and the rest of the team would resent this manager and would not do their best work, nor would they care about the company or have any commitment to the job.
443	high	Nothing, managers like that never get what is coming to them because they are quick to deflect and throw their employees under the bus to protect themselves
444	low	The worker will feel afraid and then angry. They will hide their feelings but let them simmer. Morale is damaged. Other team members see this and wonder if they are next, maybe start updating their resume.
445	high	I don’t think the manager had any consequences. The worker probably listened to their manager and tried to work faster.
446	high	There was probably no consequence for the managers behavior. The worker probably would have reacted with either compliance or hostility.
447	low	I believe the worker told some coworkers about the incident, which left a bad taste in those coworkers’ mouths about the manager.
448	high	The worker was taken aback and very upset. Their confidence is now shattered.
449	high	The manager was reprimanded and he was either retrained or stepped down. The worker would feel like justice has been served.
450	high	The worker most likely doubled down and worked harder, though it probably had dire mental and physical consequences for the worker.
451	low	Why am I being singled out? Aren’t we a team? A lot of my time is going to helping other people, should I just stop helping other people with their projects?
452	low	This happened IRL one time on the other side of the wall the guy was shouting and yelling at the TOP OF HIS LUNGS , the other person didn’t say squant. I was afraid and I think I left on my on (temp job) because the place was toxic and creepy. did not like being there. and so this worker is probably lookin to get another job after this.
453	high	The employee probably received a strike on their record for not being on top of work and is closer to being fired now thanks to that said strike.
454	high	It depends on the disposition of the worker. They would either be defiant or me submissive most likely.
455	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager because, in this type of culture, upper management expects this from their line managers.
456	low	Too much pressure can lead to workers feeling overwhelmed and then under perform. I wouldn’t be surprised if the worker were at least distracted by the experience.
457	low	The manager would have been turned into HR as their rage was inapproiate for the workplace. It isn’t necessary to degrade people in front of others. If you have a problem with them then take it private and act civilized.
458	high	The worker would have felt angry for sure and probably humiliated. S/he probably did end the break, however I would be surprised if s/he tried very hard to do the best work they could. I imagine they did the minimum possible to comply and perhaps they underperformed going far in the future, either purposely or just from demoralization. Furthermore, I think this worker would be more inclined to mistreat his or her peers and other associates going forward, or more inclined to take revenge in other ways like pilfering supplies, sneaking out early, calling in sick when it is not necessary, etc.
459	high	They probably got back to work but may have been unhappy. It could have caused a poor work performance. Slower work or cause a the worker to look for another job.
460	low	They should be punished and be warned about it. If it keeps up, they will be demoted.
461	low	I believe that the worker no longer saw their manager as someone who cared about their well being. I think that this experience changed their view about the company as a whole.
462	high	I think the worker probably felt embarrassed and targeted. I don’t think this kind of treatment would actually make the worker more productive.
463	low	I feel that the worker felt even more demoralized by this interaction, and it served only to increase their level of stress and decrease their enjoyment of this environment.
464	high	The worker probably worked harder and got the task done but was probably humiliated and angry at being yelled at in front of everyone. Maybe the worker started looking for a new job.
465	low	If the manager meant what he said, and it showed, then the worker most likely did what he was told, to avoid repercussions.
466	low	It’s hard to say. I think that the coworker could have either been scared by the threat and gone back to work, or could have retaliated with their own anger and walked out on the job. The reaction depends on the individual.
467	high	I think the worker would feel motivated to complete the task only out of fear. I would expect the worker to either quit because of the manger’s actions or to complete the task out of fear.
468	low	I think the worker didn’t take this lightly. The worker probably was upset and thinks they deserve a break at times.
469	high	Writeup probably happened here likely I would think
470	low	The worker would be upset they were being yelled at for taking a break, maybe because he was allowed to have one and his manager is just freaking out about it.
471	high	The worker probably got mad at being yelled at and didn’t put much effort into his work after that.
472	low	The worker’s reaction will most likely be negative. Although they might work hard at the current task at hand, their reception towards their manager would be negative. They most likely respect their manager less from now on, and won’t feel safe to express their opnions or have control over their workflow.
473	low	I believe nothing happened as a consequence in the managers behavior. The reaction would be ensuring that they got the work done since they dont want to be fired or feel like they arent listening to upper management.
474	low	It probably decreased morale in the office and the worker was probably upset.
475	low	I think as a consequence in the short term the worker would get more done as the boss wanted. But I think this kind of interaction also damaged their working relationship and overall the workplace is worse off for it.
476	low	The person would likely feel that they are in a hostile environment.
477	low	I doubt there was any consequence to the manager’s behavior if they acted that way openly. I hope the worker took note that their manager was not a good leader.
478	high	I sincerely hope someone reported this manager. A manager should never reprimand (let alone yell) at anyone in a public setting.
479	high	Unless the worker went to HR to complain about aggressive or unpleasant behavior nothing happened. If someone report him, he was probably warned with a written notice.
480	low	I think the worker was shocked and didn’t take it too well, and saw the manager’s behavior as unnecessary
481	high	The worker likely felt a mix of frustration, resentment, and stress. In the short term, they might have picked up the pace out of fear, not wanting to face the “consequences” the manager threatened. But over time, this kind of treatment could lead to disengagement, lower morale, or even burnout. They might also start looking for ways to push back, either by doing the bare minimum, gossiping about the manager, or even finding a way to leave the company altogether.
482	low	I’m sure the worker was upset over being yelled at since this work environment is one of collaboration and cooperation. I don’t know if the manager suffered any consequences to acting this way. The workers feelings were likely hurt as they probably felt like they were singled out, having to hurry up on this project alone, when the manager should have gotten more employees to help out.
483	high	I believe that the manager would probably fire them. And I am sure that the working is a ball of nerves. And probably would quit if management kept up this kind of behavior.
484	high	worker was probably shocked and upset about the confrontation. Didn’t know why it happened the way it did
485	high	The worker picked up the pace in order to avoid getting yelled at even further. They also resented the manager a little bit more than they did before they got yelled at.
486	low	The worker wouldn’t like the manager’s behavior and would be upset. The worker might discuss with the other worker about the behavior of the manager. The worker would however focus more on finishing the project or giving the impression that the worker is being productive on the project
487	high	I think there was probably no consequences to the managers behavior - so long as the job got done on deadline. I don’t blame the worker for that reaction at all. No one should have to pay for a manager’s mismanagement of time.
488	low	The manager will forever be seen by his employees as being a bad, unsupportive leader. Taking a break and getting shouted at is an easy way to lost trust and effort from those under you.
489	low	The worker would have been surprised at the acrimony of the manager. The manager could have used a more cooperative approach, explaining the need for extra speed and encouraging the worker instead of denigrating the worker.
490	low	The worker most likely either got to work at a faster pace, or got cut. If they were just having a bad day, i can imagine them needing some encouragement to get the job done, even if that wasn’t an ideal way of doing it. If their speed of work is habitual, it would make sense for the manager to fire this employee.
491	low	I would imagine that worker stopped performing well, they probably became less productive because the manager had a stick up his ass. He has every right to work at whatever pace he can, yelling at someone to speed up does not work.
492	low	I don’t think too much happened to the manager. If I were the worker, I would be upset that my manager spoke to me that way. But I would make sure that the work got done and then probably go talk with my co-workers about what happened.
493	high	The managers behavior lead to harsh consequences of firing of the worker if they didn’t get to work faster. The worker should be appalled with the managers reaction, especially if it is a break that is legally appropriate.
494	high	The worker probably just let the manager reprimand him and then put his head down and tried to get the work done after. Arguing or talking back to the manager most likely won’t accomplish anything and the worker was probably afraid to do that.
495	low	The manager was very stressed out. It is very likely that he meant what he said in the moment, but he may have regretted it afterwards.
496	high	I would hope the manager was reprimanded for his lash out, that is no way to properly energize or inspire someone, being so aggressive will only make your workers more aggressive towards you.
497	low	I would imagine that the worker was dismayed, hurt, and possibly somewhat surprised at the manager’s behavior (given that the participant described the workplace as supportive). The worker likely felt a significant increase in the pressure to perform quickly, above and beyond the existing pressure. I would imagine that they worked themselves quite hard in response to this.
498	low	I feel the worker getting reprimanded, in that manner, felt a great deal of embarrassment. I think it had a more negative effect than successful and hurt the team as a whole.
499	low	The worker was probably upset about the manager’s behavior. They most likely went back to finish their work but did not have a positive attitude about it.
500	high	Intimidation never works. My guess is the worker would pretend to work because they have no loyalty toward their manager because the manager doesn’t have respect nor loyalty to the employee.
501	high	The employee would likely be upset, this was not a professional way to act.
502	high	I think it was inappropriate. He was right in taking a break.
503	high	I think the worker was probably feeling like their job was on the line, which is not how they should feel if they are taking a legal break. Managers should be held accountable as well for their inappropriate behavior and actions.
504	high	I would think that the worker would be very on-edge and feel some negative repercussions professionally/personally.
505	high	I think the worker would do what is asked of him but probably look into finding another job.
506	low	I think the worker would be ashamed, embarrassed by the open treatment in front of others, not being called aside. Frustration is what I would imagine they feel.
507	high	The manager should suffer consequences for their actions. The employee should stand up for their rights.
508	high	A public shouting incident most likely caused the worker to experience humiliation and stress as well as feelings of resentment. Personalities as well as stress limits determined diverse responses from the worker such as quick performance acceleration from fear or mental withdrawal leading to demotivation and job search. Working within a harsh environment could have prompted the worker to devise strategies for self defense along with plans to weaken their manager and create alliances to stay out of future similar situations.
509	high	The worker probably felt rushed and if their manager was being unreasonable and putting too high of expectations on them. I would imagine that the worker would either defend themselves or take it up with HR because they are entitled to breaks during the work day, regardless of the workload.
510	high	Maybe humiliated and not motivated to really perform to the best of their ability due to being mildly threatened. They probably got the work done but under a negative mindset.
511	high	I imagine the worker felt angry and resentful. I think the worker would not work towards completing their task with any efficiency.
512	low	The worker likely felt bad and under accomplished, and felt they needed to do more to keep up with expectations.
513	low	I think the manager would get in trouble for shouting to someone. Understandably, the worker would be hurt and might even go to HR about it. This could result in a bad relationship between the management and the day to day employees.
514	low	He might of gotten fired because of the lack of leadership
515	high	I bet the employee was angry. They were probably working very hard and just needed a break before getting back at it.
516	low	The worker likely felt embarassed /demoralized after being shouted at especially in high-trust team environment. Instead of feeling motivated he/she probably felt stressed and less engaged, which affected the performance.
517	high	I think the worker would have been hurt by what happened. I also think that because he was worried about not completing the task and the manager’s reaction, the worker ended his break and worked as hard as possible to complete the task and avoid upsetting the manager again.
518	high	The worker definitely had more negative feelings towards the company and the workplace.
519	low	The worker reacted with hostility and shock. The consequences to the worker’s self-esteem was severe and lowered it significantly.
521	low	The worker most likely worked faster but this will effect future work performance.
522	low	I can imagine the coworker did not want to get the job done any faster. It most likely discouraged him from completing the project.
523	low	I think the employee was insulted and argued with the manager over their perception of the employee’s work ethic.
524	high	It seems like the manager is targeting this particular employee because they have high expectations of them. Its unfair that an employee is being called out for their mistakes.
525	low	Considering how the general atmosphere in the workplace was described previously, I would guess the employee was surprised, first of all. Then, depending on their personality, either embarassed or engry/upset or both (possibly at different times).
526	high	The worker might have put on the pretense of working faster but they also resented the manager more. They are less likely to do quality work because they might become mad and resentful. They also might look for another job.
527	high	The employee likely went to a higher ranking person to complain about what happened. I would think that the higher ranking person would then have been talked to about it and possibly a warning issued if this behavior wasn’t typical of his usual.
528	high	I think that the worker used the yelling as motivation to get the work done faster.
529	high	The worker felt demoralized I’m sure. It most likely slowed their ability to concentrate and do quality work.
530	low	I would HOPE that the MANAGER’S boss found out about this and reprimanded the manager for his behavior, as I’m not one who likes yelling in the work place.
531	high	The employee felt bad, embarassed, ashamed. This did not improve his work performance.
532	low	The worker probably felt more stressed out and didn’t work any faster. Maybe the manager could’ve even gotten in trouble for shouting at the worker.
533	high	I think the worker probably became angry and demoralized by the interaction. It probably created less motivation to complete the task or be a part of the work team because they may not feel valued.
534	low	I would imagine that the individual became upset, and then got angry. He may have even gone to HR. Losing your temper with the people under you , is never a good thing. You have to maintain a calm, cool, and professional demeaner no matter what happens.
535	high	The worker likely felt stressed, frustrated, or even demoralized after being yelled at. They might have tried to work faster out of fear but could also have felt resentment toward the manager. This kind of treatment could lead to lower motivation, reduced job satisfaction, or even a desire to leave the company.
536	high	The worker probably listened and complied, but it was probably detrimental to the relationship, trust, and overall culture of the company.
537	low	If I were a worker & saw this, it was really damage my look on the manager. If no actual consequences came about to the manager in that time, it would definitely impact their reputation with coworkers
538	high	he got docked in someway . taken off the project possibly
539	high	I think the worker that was being called out became fed up with management and feeling like they don’t really ‘get’ them. For most roles, taking breaks helps to provide a higher quality of work. I’m not sure if the worker would quit from this scenario, but I’m sure it made them consider it.
540	low	I think morale suffered. This person probably took it personally.
541	low	I think the worker would be upset and a bit surprised based on how the workplace atmosphere usually is. I think they would feel hurt and singled out. I think it would negatively impact how they view their work situation and position.
542	high	I think the employee possibly delivered below standard work on the project due to the manager’s behavior. I think the employee felt a large level of pressure and embarrassment.
543	low	I imagine it damaged that worker’s view of their manager. The worker probably did not put in as much effort as they normally would have.
544	high	The worker was just as angry at the manager for confronting him in an angry way while he was idle. He doesn’t feel the manager understands anything he is going through, and it just makes him unhappy even more than he was before. He feels even less like performing well at work to get back at this manager.
545	low	I think the worker was surprised by his manager’s behavior. I expect that coworkers offered to help him meet the deadline faster.
546	high	I believe the worker probably went right back to his workspace and started finishing the project. Either that or lost his cool and shouted back at the manager, which probably wouldn’t end well.
547	high	In this environment, there was unfortunately probably no consequences. Most likely it went unreported and everyone just had to deal with it.
548	high	The worker must have felt ashamed and embarrassed to be yelled at. Also, the worker must be feeling extreme burnout and stress as well. If I was the worker, I would report to HR.
549	high	Initially, the worker probably did get back to work and worked harder. However, most people would be upset at being treated that way. They might eventually develop a bad attitude, finding ways to slack off, or they might start looking for a different job.
550	low	If the manager made the horrific mistake of vocalizing his displeasure in a place that was not private, the worker would feel humiliated. This type of behavior will only seed discontent within the worker and he will not work to his best potential for the benefit of the team. It is totally counter productive.
551	high	As a consequence to the manager’s behavior, I would assume the employee either felt less motivated to get the task done and/or received pushback from the employee due to feeling attacked. This could lead to issues such as the employee quitting or quality of work decreasing.
552	high	Since the atmosphere is competitive and cut throat, I think the employee would get right on the assignment
553	low	Hopefully he finished his break and went to finish the project the manager wanted done. The workers reaction should be do the job you’re paid to do.
554	low	Think the employee probably got back to work and picked up the pace. They probably were also mad about getting yelled at.
555	high	I would think that the employee went back to work but might have felt angry at the way he was yelled at.
556	high	I think the worker either complained to HR or resigned from the job. I think the employee thought the behavior was unprofessional and inappropriate, or that the culture is toxic.
557	low	The manager probably got what he was asking for in the short-term, but the worker may not have been as helpful in the future.
558	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager. I feel that it has become acceptable behavior in that workplace to act like that and to treat people poorly. Unfortunately that’s becoming more and more common nowadays. I feel the worker was probably upset and felt like they did something wrong and probably felt even more under pressure to get the work done.
559	high	I am sure the worker was upset, which would not be helpful for completing the task.
560	high	I am pretty sure that the manager’s leadership praised him for taking the initiative and for trying to make his workers work more, harder and faster than they were previously.
561	low	I would imagine in this scenario the worker likely would have been upset to have been treated with such disrespect. Had I been in this situation, I believe I would have immediately gone back to work on the project but asked my manager if they would be willing to provide assistance in getting the job completed earlier (either help from them or possibly a coworker).
562	low	I think the worker is more likely to pick up the pace, because he/she would probably not want make the manager angry
563	high	In this scenario, If I was the worker I would probably file a grievance against the manager. Unless we were told to work through breaks. Some states have where you must take a break for so many hours worked. The Manager should be written up or suspended.
564	low	I think the worker felt discouraged and pressured to work faster to meet the deadline. Being yelled at by the manager would be upsetting and stressful.
565	high	I;’m sure the worker was upset, and rightly so. If it was a sanctioned break, then the manager was way out of line. If the manager is feeling pressure, this could be communicated in a much more productive manner.
566	low	As a consequence to the manager’s behavior I hope he was, at the very least, reprimanded by his own leaders. I believe the workers reaction was likely one of disappointment and anger at the disrespect his manager had shown him. There is a difference between being stern and shouting at an employee.
567	low	The worker probably listened to the manager and returned to work even though the manager’s approach offended him and made him upset. Unfortunately with the worker being upset his quality of work might suffer
568	low	He/she was probably embarrassed at being berated by their manager in a public setting, a totally normal response. They were no doubt a bit angry as well. Whether or not they were on a legitimate break, the manager should have taken them aside to explain that they needed to get back to work to meet their deadline.
569	low	I think the employees felt like they could probably find a better place to work if the managers are going to act like that. I am sure there is a reason that the project isn’t likely to be finished on time, but it is doubtful the fault of that employee.
570	low	The worker most likely straightened up and picked up the pace.
571	low	Being that upper management was already upset, I’d say there were no consequences for the manager. As far as the interaction between the manager and worker; the task was most likely completed faster due to the managers insisting. What will most likely happen is the worker will not respect the manager as before due to negative communication.
572	low	I think the manager probably realized his behavior was uncalled for and he later apologized. He probably apologized to the rest of the staff, too, as this sort of thing can impact others and make them uncomfortable, too. Understanding the stress their usually respectful manager was under, I imagine they all understood and agreed on better ways to handle such situations in the future.
573	low	I would hope the manager was held accountable for their behavior. I hope the worker stood up for themself or at least reported this incident to HR.
574	high	the worker probably felt frustrated and under appreciated and possibly demotivated
575	low	I know that the manager was punished for his behavior. And he was probably terminated.
576	high	The worker should have stated clearly that shouting at him was not appropriate work behaviour and that if it continued they would take it up with HR.
577	high	The worker would be surprised but afraid for their job. The worker should apologize and explain that they did not know they could not take breaks. The employee should be given a break.
578	low	I think the worker would feel anger and embarrasement and would report the incedent to HR.
579	low	If I put myself in the workers shoes.. He probably went to anew job opportunity so he can quit.
580	high	As that worker, I would make a beeline for HR. However, it doesn’t sound like that’s really an option in this environment. Based on the information provided, my assumption is the employee went back to their grueling existence and buckled down.
581	low	I don’t think much of this. There’s really not enough information about the project or any precedents to rely upon from only hearing this one scenario.
582	low	The worker was probably upset and stressed out by the interaction. They probably tried to get the work done faster but likely did a worse job at the project.
583	low	I never think being yelled at is not helpful. I believe this worker was embarrassed and that will effect and add to already being stressed. I think that worker would feel less supported by the supervisor.
584	low	The coworker was not in the best of mood after and felt disrespected- the relationship between him and the manager was not the same.
585	low	The worker probably did what they were told but became resentful. They most likely will leave the job if the manager’s behavior continues that way.
586	low	Definitely the worker was very upset with the way the manager acted up which i believe even if the manager was under pressure and wanted to deliver results, had no right to be rude at the worker
587	high	Honestly probably nothing. Sometimes managers are able to get by and talk to workers like that as they are in higher positions.
588	high	I think that they could be reprimanded if it is reported. It will all depend on the person it happened to.
589	low	I think the consequence to the manager’s behavior was he was told that his response was not appropriate and it cant happen again. The worker was caught off guard and made embarrassed by the boss.
590	low	The worker became more stressed and under pressure. The worker also was not motivated to continue doing a good job. The worker also felt very upset and betrayed that he found no support in his own manager.
591	high	I think that in this kind of environment, probably nothing happened to the manager despite this behavior being inappropriate. The worker was probably really stressed out and anxious from this episode, and likely did work harder to avoid getting yelled at, but probably also started looking hard for another job, and felt less loyal to the company as a result of being yelled at. The worker also probably became less willing to help out the manager if something came up, and less willing to make any personal sacrifices for the company in general. I think the worker also felt really resentful, both of the company for letting the manager act like this and get away with this, and towards the manager for behaving in this way.
592	low	I am sure the worker felt belittled and targeted because of the hostile attittude of the manager. I am sure the worker was upset and also scared he might lose his job but angry to be yelled at, as that is never an appropriate response for a manager. As a consequence the worker would finish the project under duress and do sub par work and probably file a complaint with whoever oversees the manager, or the union if he has one.
593	low	The manager would probably get in trouble for yelling, as the worker probably wouldnt be ok just sitting there and getting yelled at
594	high	Not sure but if I was the worker I would quit right then and there. Managers like that are promoted with no training.
595	high	Most likely the work not only resented the shouting behavior, but as a consequence bad-mouthed the manager to other employees. This would only increase a toxic work environment that appears to be all stick and no carrot.
596	low	I think what would happen would be severe anxiety and pressure, as well as discomfort.
597	high	I imagine that the worker was also upset and, while they did get back to work, looked for another job in their free time. While some thrive and enjoy such environments, most would eventually seek someplace else to work.
598	high	The worker morre than likely complained to human Resoursed, who probably did nothing.
599	high	I think the worker picked up the pace. But I think his/her resentment level skyrocketed. There will probably be some searching for another job.
600	low	I wish my manager was more supportive and understanding of my situation.
601	high	I’m sure the worker felt upset and if they had screwed up. I’m sure they felt forced to continue and probably stressed themself out by working even harder because now they knew they were being watched. I would imagine this would impact someone’s confidence and even happiness at the job to be yelled at like that, likely in front of others.
602	high	The worker probably got discouraged and put off by the managers actions.
603	low	The worker felt shamed and frustrated to be yelled at in front of the others. The other workers would not trust the manager after this incident.
604	low	I would believe that the employee definitely went back to work and proved to be a productive worker
605	high	The worker likely got very anxious and felt annoyed that they were caught taking a break by the manager. They likely either gave it their all to meet the deadline or simply did not care and figured they would get fired regardless for having been caught not working.
606	low	The worker likely felt embarrassed and stressed after being yelled at publicly, which can be demoralizing. They probably became withdrawn and worked more quietly to avoid further attention.
607	low	I am not sure what happened as a consequence, but I would expect the worker to feel further pressured into finishing the project quickly.
608	low	I think the worker got really stressed and less invested in their job. I do think they got the work done tho.
609	low	The worker was overly stressed and might have rushed worked leading to a poorer performance
610	low	the worker probably froze up first, caught off guard by the managers outburst being weird and felt a mix of embarrassment and resentment since it happend in front of other people. I bet he iether pushed himself into overdrive to meet the deadline, fueled by stress more than motivation, or he shut down a bit, doing the bare minimum to avoid more heat while quietly plotting the whole thing
611	high	The employee did what they were told to do, but carried anger and resentment toward the manager and job all the time. This whole company needs to implement some thorough leadership training.
612	low	I would gather the worker filed a complaint to HR against the manager for his unecessary behavior as well as causing extra stress on the employee.
613	low	The worker could have felt embarrassed probably leading to broken trust and resentment towards the manager.
614	high	I don’t think there were any consequences. The worker probably felt like garbage and was very angry, but probably didn’t do anything like filing a complaint because of the general atmosphere being horrible.
615	low	I would assume that people would think more poorly of this particular manager and I doubt that the work got done any faster with a reaction like that. I think the manager may have been reported for this behavior as well.
616	low	Possibly nothing but you should not come at your employee’s like that. Even if there is a deadline you shouldn’t threaten your workers.
617	low	I feel as though the worker was probably not very happy getting yelled at on break and therefore mostly likely won’t be as productive as before
618	low	The worker probably had a right to feel upset! They felt unfairly targeted (which did seem to be the case) and the manager was not treating them like the self-responsible, yet collaborative, teammate that they were (if, in fact, that team member was those things. Even if not, that’s not an appropriate way for a manager to behave.)
619	high	The worker likely felt anxiety charging through his body and tried to stay focused.
620	low	This seems like a really mean and unprofessional way to behave. The worker must have been upset and hurt by this behavior.
621	high	The employee most likely stopped taking breaks. I’d imagine nothing happened to the manager as a consequence.
622	low	Probably nothing happened to the manager. I’ve worked places like that - that claim to be supportive, but really aren’t. The worker probably hurt a little, but maybe from then on avoided situations where they might get yelled at, or even started looking for another job.
623	low	I think the managers supervisor must have gotten on his case regarding the slow place at which an assignment was going. The worker was yelled at and I can only answer this by putting myself in the workers position. I would informmy manager that with all due respect I am entitled to a break. I would ask if we could go somewhere private to talk. I would give a status of my assignment. I would also state that I was hired to do a job, we are both adults, and we both should respect each other. Please do not yell at me like I am an animal or a child. Thank you.
624	high	The worker would only make sure to hide more from management. There would be even less open communication. This is a terrible way to manage people.
625	high	If the project would reflect negatively on the worker, then they cut their break early and began to work harder. However, if it reflected negatively on the manager, then the worker really began to drag their feet.
626	low	I think that the worker in this situation would have been appalled and probably wouldn’t have reacted quickly. I feel that he would have gone back to work and would have expected an apology from the manager for his atrocious behavior.
627	high	I think it made the worker more tense and unable to concentrate on the task that needed to be completed.
628	low	There were probably no consequences to the managers behavior. They most likely continued managing with that toxic behavior.
629	low	I have a feeling that no consequences came to the manager. But I believe that this worker would become anxious, frightened, or upset. I feel like they might get the project done quicker, but the work wouldn’t be as high quality. I’d also think that they would start considering moving to another team or employer.
630	low	I think that probably nothing happened. I think that the subordinate probably got his work done./
631	high	I think that this would be damaging to the reputation and the collaboration between these people. I think that the manager probably burned a bridge here.
632	high	Worker was pretty startled, worst case scenario might’ve snapped back. Best case scenario, they’ve apologized or silently gotten back to their station.
633	low	Either the worker apologized for the delay and immediately started back working or he reported the behavior of the manager to corporate of unprofessional and creating a hostile work environment.
634	high	The manager would probably give the employee an over time or deduct from the employees wage.
635	low	The manager mishandled the situation. He should have asked the worker what he as a manager can do to expedite the completion.
636	low	The worker was put under more stress, and therefore, didn’t preform as well. They were probably frustrated and angry with their manager as well
637	high	Most likely the worker’s performance suffered and the motivation reduces and the stress increased - nothing wrong with monitoring the workers - it’s kind of part of a managers job but as my wife would say you get more with honey than lemons - positive encouragement would likely work better than shouting and threats
638	low	I think the worker would have purposely started making mistakes on the project, intentionally trying to make the project fail.
639	low	The reaction was probably mostly negative, probably not encouraging for the employee to work faster or take fewer breaks. I cannot imagine the employee knew ahead of time how much of a time constraint there was. Probably would have been much better received if they were notified ahead of time that there was a time crunch.
640	low	I believe that, very likely, the worker could not continue to work in a normal and productive way because getting yelled at is distressing. Some people can recover quickly from stressful situations, but not everyone can. More likely than not, the work will be shaken up a little bit.
641	low	The worker would feel bad and be under high levels of stress and might end up delivering something that is beneath his or her regular standard.
642	low	I feel like this manager is also probably overworked or sees other members of the team working harder than the one who was yelled at and was just at the end of their fuse and broke. It is definitely inappropriate behavior and I would imagine that it really broke the team’s trust.
643	high	I think the manager would lose the faith and belief of their employees. Which would discourage them from being effective.
644	low	The manager was very likely not even reprimanded, much less punished.
645	high	the worker stressed to complete his work work faster
646	high	The worker probably went back to work, but had a decreased respect for both the manager and the company as a result. This no doubt impacted the employee’s efficiency in the long term because the employee was less invested in the company’s success.
647	high	The worker would end his break and get back to work, I would imagine, but harbor dislike for the manager.
648	low	I think it would be discouraging as the worker, and I don’t think it would have the motivating effect the manager wanted. I think the worker would be super frustrated and maybe even complain to HR.
649	high	I think the worker would be pretty peeved because the manager is not the only one under pressure.
650	high	That depends. If the manager’s upper management doesn’t care, then nothing was done to provide justice to the employee/employees. Otherwise, hopefully the manager’s bosses put them in their place. And I hope the employee went WELL over all upper management and authority’s heads to complain about this
651	low	Well the manger went about the situation wrong, it’s not good to command threats. The employee probably acted in a defensive manner and proceeded to fill the task while angry.
652	low	The manager likely knew of bigger issues. it could be a number of issues that were at stane.
653	high	The worker would feel stressed and resentful towards the manager. He would also feel scared
654	high	The worker most likely filed a complaint about the manager’s aggression to HR.
655	high	The worker was most likely worried and anxious about the manager’s reaction. However, there’s also a good chance the worker felt insulted and angry. Rather than be encouraged to actually work faster, they might choose to go above the manager’s head to their own supervisor to discuss their inappropriate behavior toward employees.
656	low	I think what could happen as a consequence to the manager’s behavior would be a fall out of the team and a loss of respect and teamwork.
657	low	That created a hostile environment that the worker felt like they didn’t have a say or couldn’t take a break. That would ruin the whole culture that was created prior
658	low	I imagine that the worker apologized, and got back to work. Usually people put under a lot of stress in this way at a work place comply with their managers wishes, in order to not affect their job performance.
659	high	As a consequence, the worker likely wanted to quit or possibly spite the manager rather than working harder.
660	high	The worker probably went back to work because the manager yelled at them to. They also probably felt humiliated and upset
661	low	The worker would likely have been taken aback and surprised at how the manager was treating him. The manager may face consequences from those above him for not upholding the company culture.
662	high	I imagine the worker just took it. There really isn’t the option to fight back or stick up for yourself in that situation.
663	low	I bet the employee was upset. Ultimately I suspect nothing would happen unless the employee complained.
664	low	The worker was probably pretty upset because it doesn’t seem like this type of behavior is typical in the workplace. They might have even reported the manager.
665	low	I think the worker probably started looking for a new job or maybe even escalated the issue to Human Resources.
666	high	I imagine the worker did complete the job faster but ruined their morale and motivation for future work.
667	low	I think that the managers behavior is horrible and he should try talking and explaining the situation rather than screaming and making everything worse,
668	high	If there is a need to yell at employee’s there isn’t a good reason t do. The emotional instability of the manager would then need to be checked by the district manager on duty to reprimanded.
669	high	I’d expect him to either get sent home early, lose hours, or even get fired. However, wrongful termination just as this is the foundation of a lawsuit.
670	high	I assume the work done by the worker after this incident would be of a much lower quality than if they were never targeted. Additionally, even the amount of time it would take them to finish the task would take longer, as stress tends to dampen focus.
671	high	The worker probably got scared and went bad to work unwillingly. But they might not perform their work as well because they are bothered by their manager’s behavior.
672	high	Either the employee quit or the manager was reprimanded as a result of his unjustifiable actions.
673	high	The worker was most likely stressed and anxious about the encounter which just made him work more sloppy and rushed in order to target the managers deadline.
674	low	The worker felt anxious and may have not been able to work as well since he was scared of the consequences
675	low	I would say that the worker was negatively impacted by the interaction, and was probably a little upset considering that they were on their break at the time.
676	low	The worker probably felt betrayed and mistreated by the manager. No one like to be yelled at or spoken down to so the worker probably was not encouraged by this interaction.
677	high	I think this demotivated the worker and made the worker not want to do anything else at the job.
678	low	They were likely rather shaken and not expecting it, I am not sure it would motivate them more if they were already working really hard.
679	low	The worker would feel bad about taking a break and would not take breaks ever again.
680	low	The workers reaction must have been anxious and afraid, they must have put in 110% effort in finishing the task that was assigned to them. The managers behavior has stoked fear into the worker.
681	low	I doubt that anything happened to the manager. There are lots of people in management who definitely shouldn’t be. If I was the worker, I would have no respect for the manager and wouldn’t care about the deadline.
682	low	I would assume the employee continued on with his break and was upset with the manager. They were both under pressure and it’s still important to take a break from time to time to stay focused.
683	high	The worker was probably down and felt disrespected and threatened He will definitely do the job as fast as he can but any chance he gets to climb over the manager and backbiting him will be taken without a second thought
684	high	If I were the worker, I would be angry and rightfully so. The manager should be reported for lack of professionalism.
685	low	I have a coworker who had a tendency to do as little work as possible. My manager has told him several times to improve his work quality but he has yet to do so.
686	low	Most likely a reprimand. The worker is upset, confused, and possibly angry. Working for a manager who lacks self control isn’t the best.
687	high	I thin absolutely nothing happened to the manager simply because of his role.
688	high	The worker most likely panicked and hurried to finish the work, while hating the manager the entire time. The work probably suffered as a result of him being in an emotional state and not having had a break.
689	high	The worker was probably too mad that they were yelled at for taking a break and probably didn’t work to their full potential
690	high	Definitely the worker will get upset but he has no choice to do what the manager asked him. Because he needs the paycheck to pay the bills.
691	high	The worker will not be happy with the manager hence making it very hard to work with the manager again.
692	high	As a worker they can go to hr because it is not professional to yell at employees. The manager should have gave support to them and legally you get your breaks. The manager can possible get fired or reprimanded their self because they should not have been so late in the project to begin with. It’s their job as a manager to ensure this.
693	low	If there weren’t any consequences from management higher up than that manager, then there would definitely be consequences from the employees. The manager’s outburst would erode morale and trust in the manager. The work environment would be one where employees walked on egg-shells and possibly even resented the manager.
694	low	It is never ok to just yell at your subordinate like that, so I am sure that the manager was reported to HR and reprimanded. As for the worker, it really depends on their core personality. They could either be submissive and just take the abuse but be completely demoralized and embarrassed from it, or they could be assertive, and a real altercation could have broken out over the disrespect.
695	high	I think that the workers may have quit, talked to others about his manager or looked for another job.
696	high	I’m guessing the worker got back to work, but likely started to look for another job. I can’t imagine that this manager keeps employees for long.
697	high	The worker probally started trying to meet his expectations reluctantly and probally bears a grudge against and will try to avoid him as much as possiable.
698	high	Nothing. This seems like an environment that, that’s kind of stuff will go unnoticed. I work somewhere where if you are a “somebody” you can do what you want. So he probably didn’t receive any consequences for his actions.
699	low	I think the worker started to isolate from the manager as a result of the manager’s behavior. I don’t think anyone reported the manager, so nothing happened to them, but I think the worker quit a few weeks later.
700	high	I would think the worker would probably have done what the manager asked. He wouldn’t have liked the attitude from the manager but he would feel that he didn’t have a choice in the matter.
701	low	The manager was probably under stress, which was what why the manager acted that way. The worker was probably not motivated by this interaction.
702	low	The worker might have shouted back, done what was asked, or reported the manager to the manager’s higher up.
703	low	I would guess that the worker was surprised and shocked, probably didn’t know what to say. The worker probably got straight to work.
704	low	The worker was likely upset and embarrassed. I think he/she pushed themselves and finished the project, then promptly quit. However, the more likely scenario is the worker responded negatively to the manager’s public humiliation and verbal assault and shouted back angrily and quit on the spot.
705	low	I feel the worker was unjustly talked down to. This behavior should not be present in a work environment.
706	low	The worker probably felt singled out, along with being overly stressed. They may have gone to HR to report the manager’s behavior as they should not have yelled at or singled out one employee no matter the situation unless it was specifically that employees task. If it was that employee’s task an individual private discussion should be had instead of in front of others.
707	low	If it was an escalating anger, it might lead to HR being involved.
708	low	I imagine the worker was upset by the managers outburst. The manager could have approached the worker in a different way. I hope they worked out their differences and got the project done.
709	low	The worker either got it together or could have quit. I don’t know the personality of the worker to be able to tell what to expect.
710	low	Im sure they talked to him regarding how to talk to employees in a positive manner.
711	low	The worker probably did as told and tried to work harder at his job.
712	low	The employees may have sped up his workflow, but secretly began making plans on leaving the company.
713	low	I would imagine that the worker was caught off guard and felt attacked. They probably also felt ashamed and were reluctant to take breaks afterwards.
714	low	I would think the worker would be less likely to get the project done by the deadline, as the manager overreacted and pushed the employee too hard.
715	high	I would be upset about it. Feeling singled out. It’ sno fair.
716	low	I think a worker would be embarrassed, frustrated, and angry by this behavior. They may get back to work in the moment but this would create lasting damage.
717	low	I would be upset and contemplate if this is the team for me. I likely would have quit within a few weeks
718	high	I believe the workers were stunned into silence and obedience. No one felt comfortable working for this manager for a while.
719	high	I don’t think anything happened. I think that is part of their work culture and situations like that probably go on a lot without repercussions. The manager’s actions were hostile and unacceptable in my opinion, but moist likely nothing happened to him.
720	low	While the worker may have sped up to appease their manager, my suspicion is the work produced would be subpar, and the worker anxious, nervous, and frankly feeling poorly. Additionally, any coworkers who witnessed the episode would feel the same, resulting in a bad morale working situation for everyone - productivity will drop.
721	low	I think that the employer either maliciously complied or the employee who was being targeted by the manager has had enough and stood up for himself and quit.
722	high	I bet the worker returned to work instead of slacking off. He should not have been taking a break when there is a big deadline coming up. This is an example of the declining work ethic in America. No one wants to work anymore.
723	low	The worker would have been very upset with this interaction. It was unprofessional and uncalled for. The worker would have filed a complaint.
724	low	I’m sure the worker was embarrassed and possibly angry at the manager’s outburst. Deadline or not, workers are entitled to take a periodic break, and as long as the worker was not outside of the company’s guidelines, the manager should have been reprimanded for his behavior, and should have apologized to the worker.
725	low	I feel that the person felt signaled out and intimidated. I also think they felt bad but still tried to complete the work as to not feel like a disappointment.
726	high	I bet the worker reported the manager to upper management. Depending on the people who work in upper management, either nothing was done, or someone addressed the manager’s behavior. It could also have ruined the relationship between the worker and manager.
727	high	He was demotivated to work harder because he felt like he was working very hard and it was never good enough.
728	high	If the worker is used to that behavior, he/she would just have to take it. Otherwise if I were the worker I would be looking for another job because shouting at the workplace and threats of that kind are unacceptable.
729	high	The worker was probably mortified and extremely stressed, but quickly went back to work and got the work done… probably cursing at the manager under his/her breath.
730	high	Nothing. I imagine the manager had no consequences to treating the worker that way. I would think the worker reacted by hunkering down to get whatever work done that they needed to, but this interaction would leave a long-term stain on the manager’s reputation and rapport with the worker.
731	high	I think the worker would no longer trust or respect the manager. He also probably wouldn’t care as much about the project that needed to be done either.
732	high	The worker looked shocked and embarrassed, especially in front of others. After that, he kept his head down and worked faster, but he also seemed withdrawn and tense, like he was just trying to avoid more conflict instead of being motivated.
733	low	I’m sure the worker was upset to be treated so ugly by their boss and probably wanted to walk off the job . I don’t blame them.
734	high	The worker probably would default to: I am taking my authorized break, and you may not speak to me in that tome of voice. It is abusive.
735	low	I think a possibility is that he got reprimanded. I also think one possibility is the employee was fed up and just walked out and quit.
736	low	He may have temporarily increased his work effort. But the overall result was probably detrimental, as it lowered self esteem, lowered trust with his manager, and just overall made his attitude towards the company more negative. The long term effects are not worth the short term benefits in this case.
737	high	I think the worker probably felt extreme stress and pressure to get the job done. Perhaps he got the job done faster, or perhaps he cracked under pressure and lost or quit his job.
738	high	The worker was likely written up and may have missed out on a bonus and/or promotional opportunity.
739	high	The worker probably worked harder in the moment, but in the long run, I bet the worker became less satisfied with their job and maybe started searching for other jobs. It probably made the worker less likely to volunteer for assignments or go above and beyond on projects.
740	high	I think he would of been taken off the project. Or there might of been a pay cut. I think the worker woild have definetly been upset but hid his emotions while at work and picked up the pace.
741	high	The manager is probably not looked upon as approachable, and is creating an atmosphere of fear. The worker probably was taken by surprise, and considered immediately putting in a two week notice. He probably browsed the internet for a new job on his break.
742	high	Hopefully the worker went to HR to have the manager reprimanded
743	high	I would imagine this employee became more stressed as a result of this and likely rushed to complete the task and did a less thorough job than if the manager had respected the break he was taking.
744	low	As the worker, I would immediately enter malicious compliance, consider going to HR or a supervisor about the behavior, and even keep an eye out for a job.
745	low	I think there was no consequence for the employee. But maybe an incentive related consequence for the manager. I think the employee reacted as the manager overreacting.
746	low	In this situation I would be unlikely to disagree or engage with the manager but it also wouldn’t mean I got the work done any faster. I’d likely talk with my coworkers about the situation to find a way to escalate the issue either to the manager or above them, a rushed work environment is not a healthy one
747	low	The worker was probably angry to be treated like that. If that has happened more than once, I bet the employee would start looking for another job.
748	low	The worker was probably taken aback by being spoken to in such a disrespectful manner. They may even consider finding another job.
749	high	I’m going to assume he got right to work, but I don’t agree with yelling at an employee.
750	high	I think the worker probably completed the task faster in order to avoid being fired, and apologized, but was anxious and distraught, or even angry, as a result.
751	low	The worker probably did as the manager requested. However, the worker probably felt like the work environment was not as egalitarian as they had believed it to be before this incident.
752	high	It depends on the type of worker. If they need the job desperately, they would say yes, sir, and go back to work to finish the project. If this was a constant thing, it could push the worker to a breaking point and they quit their job.
753	high	I’d imagine the worker was probably very angry, but to suppress their reaction to the altercation, leading to a poorer work performance overall than if he had not been yelled at.
754	low	I would think the worker felt embarrassed. Employees need breaks in the workday in order for them to more efficiently get their jobs done. I think the manager should be reprimanded for their behavior.
755	high	The worker probably felt even more pressure. The worker probably did work faster. The stress and fast pace might’ve cost their work to take a dive in quality.
756	high	I would guess that with the way things are done in this environment that nothing was done about the managers behavior. It seems that this kind of behavior is most likely looked over by the upper management because of the cutthroat environment. The worker seems to be describing it as something that happens often and is seen to be normal in this workplace.
757	low	I would imagine the worker was a bit shocked and upset. That would likely reflect in their work as they would have some resentment towards the manager now and likely would not give their best effort anymore.
758	high	I expect that in an adversarial workplace, the worker would have responded, “or what?” Because being let go would be a blessing. Perhaps the worker was able to remain calm and tell the manager that breaks are necessary for peak performance.
759	high	depending on whether the employee was fearful or not it couldve made the employee feel scared and frightening to complete the work or more pressured to complete it in general.
760	high	I am sure the worker was very upset and felt he was being treated unfairly. In addition, the worker probably felt justifiably humiliated to be treated like an inhuman robot.
761	low	The worker probably felt demoralized and embarrassed, especially if other workers overheard the manager berate the worker. The worker most likely focused on their work to meet the deadline, or face the consequences the manager threatened.
762	low	As the worker, I would have been startled and angry. However, if the manager was having a bad moment, recognized it and apologized I would have called it water under the bridge, shaken his hand and thanked him for apologizing. If he docked my pay or took disciplinary action against me for being on break, I would have written HR a letter.
763	low	the worker probably shut down emotionally and didn’t do his best work
764	high	I don’t think anything happened to the manager. The worker probably just sat there and took it. I think the manager could’ve handled it better but there are two sides to every story.
765	low	I think the manager betrayed the trust and confidence workers had towards him. In the future they would trust the manager less.
766	low	The worker probably felt emberrassed, stressed or upset. Instead of feeling motivated, they might have lost trust in the manager and felt less willing to collaborate or help others.
767	high	The Consequence Would Be A Write Up and A Lecture from Human Resources aka HR and The Worker’s Reaction Would Be Stress, Worried and Having So Much Built Up Anxiety.
768	high	The worker is a hard worker and very productive when given able time and resources to complete task. Pressuring the worker to work faster and threatening consequences will led to added stress which will likely end in errors being made. Also, if this happens often enough this will result in illness and time off on the part of the worker due to mental stress. This is what the worker is thinking and will react in a way that they will do their best to do the work but fatigue and misery is more powerful.
769	high	The worker probably felt bad and while he probably did work harder I think there was an equally likely chance that the worker worked less hard. They also probably started looking for other jobs since they felt upset.
770	low	The worker probably felt intimidated or even angry at the manager. The worker would probably bring this concern to higher management or HR.
771	high	The person likely skipped breaks and worked at an unsustainable pace. They also likely faced serious mental distress and burnout.
772	high	The worker probably ended their break sooner than the time allotted to them and went back to working on the project. They probably also did something passive aggressive against the manager that they couldn’t be caught for, and started looking for a new job.
773	high	The worker got upset, but nothing happened to the manager
774	low	The worker probably felt threatened by it or scared. They maybe felt they were being targeted unfairly possibly. It probably sent them panicking a bit and trying to work a little faster. Maybe quantity over quality became something for the worker in that moment.
775	high	I think the worker became nervous and frightened and quickly went back to work without a word.
776	low	I doubt there were any consequences to that manager, because usually people claiming to be in a supportive environment at a workplace, it oftentimes isn’t as good as it seems. I think if the pressure was already there, the bosses would support what the manager did. The guy wasn’t being a ‘team player’ for taking a break, I assume, and thus many would think the manager was in the right.
777	low	They would likely get a warning or reprimanded to the higher ups. The worker would probably feel drawn back and upset at the manager. They would likely not be as sociable and their work would suffer as a result.
778	high	I think the the manger was riight because it one person takes a break the other employees have to pick up the salck.
779	high	He would feel frustrated instead of appreciated. The manager should apologize and explain himself.
780	high	I think the worker got back to work. The worker had a scowl on his face while he went back to work. The worker probably talked behind the manager’s back after the manager left the room.
781	high	I think the worker might have cut their break short and gone back to work. But they are probably very resentful of the manager and​won’t be and easy employee to deal with.
782	low	I would imagine the worker realized the manager was under a great of pressure from his superiors and probably thought it might have been the wrong time to take a break. After the project is finished everyone will get back to normal.
783	high	I’d imagine nothing punitive would happen to the manager if the culture is as previously described, and I’d also imagine that the worker’s quality of work would be poorer.
784	low	The worker likely got upset, given that yelling is never professional. Deadlines don’t only secure that the work will be done, but it also gives a worker flexibility to provide their best work during that timeframe - and breaks are an essential part of that process (especially if the work is repetitive).
785	high	I as a worker would have been greatly frustrated and gutted and would have hoped for an apology for the manager. At the very least, the manager should have been reprimanded big time.
786	low	The worker probably felt insulted and belittled and would retaliate by not completing the project or at least not rushing to do so.
787	high	I think that it would be dangerous of making the worker really made because of the way the manager tackled the problem he/she faced with that worker. I think the worker got up to do his/her job but maybe held a deep resentment to that manager and might make this future work environment ugly for the manager.
788	high	The worker is likely to feel resentful, particularly if the worker had been diligently working on the project. The worker may have needed the break for any number of legitimate reasons. Particularly in an environment where considerable back-stabbing is happening, the manager might need to be worried that the worker would sabotage the project out of resentment.
789	low	I think that the consequence was probably being reported to the HR department for this behavior.
790	high	It’s possible the manger needed every hand on this project and that the one worker was not really putting effort in their performance.
791	high	They might have worked harder and more smarter to finish the job or ask someone for advice if they are a strong worker. If they aren’t a strong worker that might have led them to be more afraid or stressed possibly and it might not have helped them at all
792	low	I think the worker was upset, but worked harder to appease the manager.
793	low	I assume the worker was upset at being yelled at, but probably understood the situation and that the manager was under a different sort of pressure themselves. There was probably some resentment, but in hindsight the worker most likely didn’t take it personally.
794	high	The worker looks like they were humiliated and stressed because of what happened.
795	high	This is the antithesis of good leadership. While management and leadership are not exactly the same thing, if a manager hopes to get the willing support of their subordinates, this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and likely will alienate (or further alienate) the workers. Not just during the outburst, but the fallout of this spreading to other employees will foment even more discontent in the organization.
796	low	I would assume the worker felt a little less of themselves and also embarrassed for probably the entire rest of the work week. I would also imagine they made a complaint about the way they were yelled at.
797	low	The worker probably picked up the pace - momentarily - but with an eye roll and the intention to go right back to the previous pace as soon as the boss walked away.
798	high	The worker probably no longer liked or respected the manager. By showing up an employee like this the manager put that employee in a really bad spot. If I was treated like that I would leave the job.
799	low	The manager yelling at the employee did not reflect positively on either. It was a counteractive measure that could be detrimental to the team moral.
800	high	The worker probably felt completely demoralized, angry, and upset. They’d likely either shut down and do the bare minimum, or seriously consider looking for employment elsewhere. Either way, trust in that manager and the company as a whole suffered a huge slip in morale.
801	high	A manager faced undue pressure to complete unnecessary tasks ahead of schedule. Subsequently, the manager misled the team regarding a deadline and promised bonuses, which were ultimately awarded to senior management.
802	low	I would assume considering the work environment that the worker was startled and surprised. In my personal experience I had a manager once that me and my team loved in my first job. We got shouted at for something similar and had this reaction I wrote about above. But since we liked the manager, we personally felt that we screwed up and we went above and beyond finishing work much earlier than usual to make up for it. And at the end he apologized to us and praised us for our response. So I think this worker may have reacted similarly.
803	low	i believe the worker was shocked and started doing what the manager wanted.
804	low	I would focus on supporting my own team by providing clear expectations and providing consisten communication
805	low	the worker probably has less respect for the manager. Becoming more resistant to listening to the manager after the incident.
806	low	The worker was probably flustered and defensive by the unprofessional behavior of the manager. Then the worker most likely cut their break short and begrudgingly went back to work to complete the project.
807	high	I don’t think there was any consequence to the behavior. I hope the worker said something to vouch for themselves.
808	high	I imagine that the worker who was taking a break which was probably a deserved break because you need them every now and then ended up being either angry at the Manager and return perhaps yell yelling at him or perhaps a controlling sobs and/or crying. Ask for the manager if nobody reported him he probably got away with screaming and yelling at his employees Scott free.
809	high	I think the worker who was targeted by the manager simply took the threat seriously and made sure to get the job done.
810	high	I would say the worker would be extremely angry and/or upset and be wanting to quit or leave work early to get away from the toxic work environment.
811	high	The worker was probably fearful and tried to accomplish the work but he made a lot of mistakes because he was rushing.
812	high	i think the worker might be shocked, especially if they were just doing something quick like getting a drink of water or using the bathroom, or even just quickly returning a personal call. But i would guess they would go back to work afterwards and keep their head down and push through it. Given the environment presented, I doubt the manager would face any serious consequences.
813	low	I hope he went to jail For every action there is a consequence
