Hi VNTVT, As per Mr. Radhakrishnan's suggestion, it is better to go with that. Additionally, in my view, your boss may not like something about you or your work. By analyzing that, you can develop it, which would help you continue your work.

Thank you.

I always have a question in my mind: why does he always scold me for the mistakes made by others?

Here's What I Think You Can Do:

• Rather than getting upset, I would not let him affect me. If you get upset, you are not doing anything good for yourself.

• Start giving him a different reaction when he scolds you. Start apologizing profusely, thank him for his guidance… just do something different than what you are doing right now.

• Ask him if you can talk to him during a coffee break. Can you do that? I don’t know if you are that assertive. Share your discomfort with him and see what he has to say.

• Discuss this with a senior member in your company.

• Discuss this with your HR SPOC.

• Write him a formal email… but make it very polite and diplomatic.

• See if there is any truth in what he is saying… Do you upset him with anything?

• Lastly, if everything fails, look out for a change…

With the limited information you have given, I can only suggest this. Maybe you can call me in case you want to discuss this further. All the best!
