All of those things are inherently humiliating.   Everyone else is independently functioning.  One person gets pulled away for training.  Or if the entire team is called into training, it's obvious to narrow down who's the cause when the list is visible.

This is why everyone gets participation trophies in team sports.


Helping someone is not humiliating them, the person is ask for feedback in private by their manager on how they're finding it and can request it if they want, calling out names is humilating though.

This sounds dandy, until you run across the large amount of the population that internalizes constructive criticism as personal attacks.   Then everything becomes a form of humiliation.  

Let's move away from performance then.    

Someone starts a minor fire in the office kitchen.  The next day everyone is required to attend fire safety training and everyone knows why.  Humiliation?

This type of implied humiliation seems to fall into the same arena as the various implied discrimination cases and the courts go either way on them.
