Yelling is rarely the most effective way to communicate.<p>I would say that it depends on the people involved. I for one would not tolerate being yelled at. I have been yelled at in the past and promptly made it known that if it happened again, I would not longer work for that person (or company).<p>However, other people (usually yellers themselves) may not have as big an issue with it.
I've only been yelled at by a boss once, and I immediately filed a complaint with HR. When they did nothing to follow up, even after there were numerous complaints (one employee even quit), I resigned a week later.
