This morning there was an incident in my office where a co-worker physically assaulted me. Granted, it was just a little hair pull, but it made me think. I do not know these people's breaking points. I do not know what will send someone over the edge and what exactly happens when they get over that edge.
Workplace violence should never be tolerated!
You may be thinking, "well how long have you been working in your office?" I'm a veteran. I have actually been in the office the longest. As of September I will have been here for 11 years. I have seen people come and go. I have seen how some people react to stress, but never to this point. And never for such a reason as it was this morning.
When I think of work place violence I think of the Edmond Post Office Massacre. I always think about the people in my office, who would be the one that would come in with the gun?
I believe office's with less than 10 employees are most susceptible to smaller scale workplace violence incidence, but how far do we let it go before it becomes out of hand?
