[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask for a one on one with your supervisor, express that you were embarrassed and that in the future you will not tolerate being publicly counseled/ humiliated.  It is possible that they did not have realize what they were doing was wrong and will adjust their style.

Document this incident and subsequent conversation either with a memo to the file or an email to yourself to capture date/ time etc. If it happens a second time you formally complain to HR and your supervisor's supervisor. [/quote]

[b]I'm confused. What did the supervisor do wrong?[/b][/quote]

+1.  While it shows poor judgement on the part of the supervisor, this sort of thing happens all the time - and doesn't violate any laws.  It doesn't qualify as harassment or a hostile work environment.  There is no law that says you can't be told you are wrong in front of your peers.  If it were me I'd simply tell my boss in private that I didn't appreciate being called out like that in front of my peers, and would appreciate him not doing that in the future.  It may not stop him, but upon reflection he/she might think twice next time.[/quote]
