    Back in the 80's and 90's there became a phrase "Going postal". I'm sure ppl can remember those times with all of the shootings. Well it was found that some of these supervisors were constantly screwing over and trying to shaft workers. Well some of those employees were Vietnam veterans. And didn't take kindly to being F#$@€% with. Witch in turn they snapped on the super and others.

    Well here is an issue where an employee got tired of the B/S. I've had to go through workplace violence training. But it seems that lower and upper management never attend these classes. Because ppl tend to react when being F@#$€% with. Ppl don't just blow a head gasket for no reason in the work place.

    Maybe that’s why the operations staff are behind security glass at my company.

    Maybe it's a good thing when the boss is afraid of you for no reason.

    I've been ####ed with in the work place. Never assaulted anyone. Quit and went somewhere better. Throwing boiling water into someone's face due to a problem at work is nuts. Maybe that was the problem.

    Yea I've notice a lot of office staff at a trucking company either hide behind a keypad locked door. Or a window to where a driver can't get into the office. Maybe too many dispatchers got hurt in the past.

    It's been happening since the first caveman exchanged a bit of meat for a new loincloth.
    It will stop happening when the sun goes supernova...

    Not where I’m at.... all the office doors are open unless there is a private meeting going on with a driver. But I’ve been to a few other companies where you had to go through security before even talking face to face with dispatchers or not at all.(Transam used to be a company where you could just go in. After they built their new terminal/HQ in the late 90’s that changed and drivers were pretty much kept away).


    I’ve been driven out of a non-driving job once before many years ago. It was a place that built “bubble buildings”(ie, golf domes), and most of the workers were drug addicts. Since I was the only one that didn’t do drugs I got labeled as being a “narc”, so I was repeatedly asaulted, threatened, even had a gun pointed at me, even though management turned a blind eye. If OSHA were to walk in that place they would’ve shut it down instantly. (The workers were soaking rags in toulene and inhaling the fumes to get high, even the foreman) I finally had enough and just quit there. I did manage to get the low life gun-pointer a visit from the state cops but he weaseled his way out of it(ever notice scumbags always seem to get away with ####?) A few years later the owner of that place got into hot water with the IRS and wound up shutting down.
