And they want to be right right now. Violence is not that far behind their desire for validation. If the divorce is messy or if there s a restraining or vacate order, let airport security know so that they can set up a no-trespass order against that person s spouse. Stay current with the list of employees who have filed a grievance, who have been disciplined and who have been fired. Of course, not every employee with a reason to be disgruntled is likely to be violent, but these individuals are red flags.
Silence always colludes with the perpetrator, and management colludes by doing nothing about it.
You must make it clear that your workplace has zero tolerance for violence.
