A guy I work with was sacked yesterday

He was an angry man who would always scream and shout when things were not done his way. But he would only do this to workers who would not stand up for themselves. Two in particular.
Wednesday he was particularly bad and I had had enough of watching him screaming at this one particular worker. So I went to my boss and told him it was time to get rid of him.
The guy had been doing this on and off for a year and the bosses knew it. They would speak to him and he would calm down for a week or so.
My boss listened, got HR involved, took a statement from me and the three other employees.
After the statements were collated, the worker was called into the boardroom and was sacked.
Not something I like to do, but to watch fellow workers being constantly berated really riles me.

I hate to see people getting bullied when they are doing their jobs

@cherokeepatti Management was tardy, knowing what was going on and only warning him.
By continuing to bully, the worker was effectively saying - you need me and will never sack me.
Well, you got that wrong 😠
He was probably on their radar already, and this was the last straw. A lot of times these asshats are underperformers. I inherited an employee like that. Everytime he failed, he'd scream and yell, then blame someone else. Never took responsibility. It was the only time I enjoyed canning someone.

@BizSuitStacy He had been warned several times. Then he had a final, final warning.
The guy thumbed his nose, pushed his luck, then was gone.
Slow learner? Or simply arrogant.

Sometimes people like that have mental health issues, and it's not even safe to keep working with them. I am glad you spoke up.

@4meAndyou I am sorry I took so long to ask for his removal. Gone now 🙂

Good for you 👏👏❤️
You ask everyone for negative stuff on the guy, you make a huge stack -. Done! Unemployment won't read the stuff -. You attack in a group and fire this guy,! and come out just fine.
