SammySammy Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 A friend of mine works for a major corporation. She just texted me saying somebody at her job just stormed out. Flipping off everybody as they went. Double birds and everything. :laugh: I don't think I've ever been that mad at work. What about you guys? Any stories? 1
preraph Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Oh, I've been that mad, but I learned early on not to burn bridges like that. 1
Mrin Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Only story i have like this was I once had a woman (requirements analyst) in my reporting structure lose it at a meeting. Like totally lost it. Screaming. Cussing. Threw a dry erase eraser at a developer. Stormed out and pushed over a couple of potted trees in the workspace. Then went home. I missed all of this in person. But I had to fire her two days later. I did help find her another less stressful job though.
AMJ Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 One time my boss threw her cell phone at me. This was long time ago, I was the 5th assistant she'd had in like 6 months. The one before me ran out of the office crying on the 2nd day. She reminds me of Meryl Streep in the Devil Wears Prada. Just a complete b@#$$. One day I was tired of her crap so I stood up for myself, in front of other people, and she actually threw her phone at me. I went straight to HR and she was pushed out within two months. 1

One person was transferred but that was the only ramification I ever saw/heard about it.
Author SammySammy Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 Dang. I guess I've been lucky. It never got that serious at places I've worked.
Mind-Chants Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I work at a place where every week we have a meeting which is literally like a war zone but I have never seen anybody fly into rage and flip off others. The only instance I could remember is from a junior employee who took out his frustration on a printer. But he immediately apologized.
