MY CO-WORKER ASSUALTED ME! IS MY CALIFORNIA EMPLOYER RESPONSIBLE?
In the California workplace, violence against coworkers can occur. But this does not make it right. Are you being harassed at work by a boss or coworker? Have you reported these signs of instability by your co-worker but did not receive any help? The law is on your side. If you are being harassed at work by a co-worker, make sure you report it to your boss. In addition, look out for these warning signs, which indicate an employee might be more likely to engage in some sort of violence at work:
- Confrontational Attitude
- Threatening Coworkers
- Threatening Bosses
- Showing guns or bragging about guns to coworkers
- Substance Abuse
- Aggressive Behavior
- Bullying Others
- Outbursts of Anger
Warning signs are important for employers to not ignore because they signal that the employee may be on the verge of “losing it” and if the employer were to step in and help they might be able to avoid an instance of violence in their workplace. The efforts that employers put in to avoiding workplace violence can go a long way to protecting you and making your workplace a safe one.
