Translation of "ukoren" into English

Pokušavajući izbjeći antimonopolske tužbe, Google je sustavno govorio zaposlenicima da uništavaju poruke, izbjegavaju određene riječi i kopiraju odvjetnike što je češće moguće. Ako su zaposlenici htjeli čuvati elektroničke zapise, bili su ukoreni.

Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google systematically told employees to destroy messages, avoid certain words and copy the lawyers as often as possible. If employees wanted to keep an electronic record, they were rebuked. (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/technology/google-antitrust-employee-messages.html)

Rekla sam da ga ukoriš, ali možeš ga i izgrditi.

Well, I said reprimanded, but scolded will do just fine.
