I had an incident with a co-worker last night, he was making threats to “beat my a**” not his first time either hes threatened at least three other co-workers as well. So like any mature adult I didn't engagein the behavior and separated myself. I cooled off, gathered mythoughts and went back to have a conversation with my co-workerbut it ended just as well as the first interaction. At this point I called my boss and informed him that threats were being made again and he said he'd handle it. My co-worker ended up making ahuge mess and being that he was making threats and to the best of my knowledge nothing about the issue earlier in the night had been resolved I wasn't going to put myself in a position that could potentially end in a violent manner. Fast forward to this morning and
I'm getting fired for failure to perform work duties and my boss is claiming no knowledge of threats being made. Am I wrong for not putting myself in a situation that I didn't feel safe in?
