Should I report him to HR?

When a conflict arises in the workplace, employees are often unsure of how to address the situation and to whom to turn for help. Each company typically has a reporting structure in place for internally dealing with employee relations issues. While this will vary by company, the reporting structure generally requires employees to speak with their direct supervisors or managers to attempt to resolve the issue prior to involving human resources.

How old are you anyway? HR will not care about such little thing.

I would likely address it with him directly since he may not be aware that you were so affected by his tone. Given that this was a first time event, I doubt that your HR person will get actively involved (and will most likely ask you if you talked to your manager about that episode). If, however, he yells on a constant basis, I would pursue it further.

Pathetic. That's part of life. No one likes a whiner.
