Assault question

[G475]

We have a manager who is a big joker at my center, today I absent mindedly tapped his shoulder as he walked by. He kept walking, stopped and turned around and looked at me then after about 3 seconds he faked being hurt then kept walking. Nothing happened to me, I wasn't walked out or talked to and completed the day as normal and left.

I guess I came to my senses later on how petty UPS management can be and am wondering if they can pursue this for workplace violence or something dumb. I've survived here a few years already.

Next time kick him in the nuts.

 

[deeztier]

why you touching people during COVID?!

 

[542thruNthru]

Just tell HR he had a bee on him.

 

[DriverNerd]

Anyone can say they were assaulted for any physical contact. That's the world we live in. Keep your hands to yourself.

 

[oldngray]

Assault is just the threat. If he hits you its battery.

If he pursues an assault charge, beat the bricks off him before the cops get there. Youre gonna catch the charge anyway nahmsayin

Depends on your state.

You're fine. You can say anything to mgmt so long as there are no witnesses. This was just a tap on the shoulder, you are fine. He probably did what he did knowing you would be worried about it. em.

Ok. So, did you "hit" him? What does "absent mindedly" mean? And what does him being a "big joker" mean? Do you people go around punching each other, like in a football locker room? Serious question. I've been around for a long time. Many of the people I've seen terminated are for physical contact of some sort and of course the "sexual harassment" stuff(physical or not). NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.

Fine? Maybe. I've seen plenty of people terminated on the single word of a victim(allegedly). And a witness? Uh, cameras? This is very bad advice.

You can be terminated for anything. It sticks only if you dont challenge it.

 

[No1 Special]

That is why we are teamsters, we have people that can assault him. Capiche?

Really?

 

[EverybodyLovesMike]

Really?

Literally. They can fire you for not being in violation of anything. How well do you think that will hold up in arbitration? It won't. One of my shop stewards has been fired 5 times. My BA, before he became a BA, has been fired literally over 20 times. He was a steward and filed on everything so they targeted him. Dont back down. When you get fired, because it's always a matter of when and it happens to everyone including myself, ING FILE.

 

[Rack em]

My goal was to get fired 5 times and come back, but I don't think I can do 20 lol.

I slapped my female supervisor on the butt. Think I'll get in trouble?
