Fisticuffs at Work

[EternalOptimist]

Threre's a time and a place. IT is a place for keyboard shennanigins and placing fake dog turds in the sandwich carousel, and nailing a rotten kipper to the bottom of someones desk.

The business environment is not the place for sticking the 'ead in

Far too many keyboard warriors on the interweb

Apparently there were fisticuffs between a couple of senior (in age, not position) ladies in the UAT team last year.

One of them left immediately, the other is still there I think.

Not witness as such.

Can you be a witness if you're actually involved in the fight?

5 middle managers? Luxury.

At my place a sacked worker came back at lunchtime, took a plastic spoon from the canteen and scooped the eyeballs out of 10 senior managers before garotting them with their own shoelaces and pulling a security guards brain through his nostrils with a pair of tweezers as he left via the back door.

Leave that one off the CV

Some time ago I was dismissed from a permie job for violence

In my book it was nothing more than shouting in the face of a little gob tulipe trainee who thought he could pick and choose what he did rather than what I told him to do.

Trouble was I made him cry and his daddy was the CEO of the companies biggest client...got a phone call from his dad threatening me with his shotgun...and the rest as they say, is history

I was once taken aside and told to stop scaring people after going apetulip at my PC during a particularly annoying debug session once.

This reminds me of a chap I worked with once who used to go into a rage when trying to use MS Word. He would get completely stuck trying to put a border on a table or something and end up doing a Basil Fawlty, screaming at the screen and hitting the monitor. He wasn't acting up either, he really used to completely lose it. Of course, it was hilarious to watch, but you'd sometimes have to ask him to keep it down a bit if you were on the phone to a customer or something.

So a bully AND stupid? Your parents must be very proud.

You can talk. I heard you once got escorted off site for hitting someone with a hanky. Ooo take that.
