You shouldn't. Foul language and shouting betrays a lack of

So how do you give out a bollocking then?


It's possible to do it without swearing or shouting, and indeed can be
more menacing that way. The quick shout can be more appropriate
though.


There are other ways

A couple of weeks ago an apprentice who I had asked to drill some holes came
back to me about 15 minutes later to tell me the drill was not working. I
told him to make sure there was power to the drill (it was already in place
as I had used it earlier) and that the extension lead was plugged into a
transformer and that the transformer was plugged into a socket. 15 minutes
later he came back and announced the drill was broken. I warned him that if
I had to get down from the tower scaffold to plug the drill in I would punch
him in the ******** and he needed to go and recheck the extension lead and
transformer as I was busy. He went away and 15 minutes later he came back to
say they were fine so I climbed down the scaffold walked across to where I
had earlier plugged the extension lead into a transformer to find the
extension lead plug sat on the floor and not plugged in to a transformer.

Just as I pulled the van into the unit I punched him in the ********.



Oh well I assume his pay doesn't impact on the company too much.


The idiot must really be short of a few brain cells. I would have
screamed in agony, rolled on the floor till the ambulance arrived, had
a month off work [ Or at the very least four working days], and also
contacted the police and a solicitor.
