It is so sad in the workplace anymore, that people are so easily offened or just like to stir up trouble against a fellow employee. Now for a truly violent person who actually invokes fear, then I guess it is a necessary rule. I have never seen these people last at UPS and thats a good thing. And it was usually a group complaint, and repetitive complaints of the smae nature with witnesses. But to have someone lose their cool, when all would be fine the next time you saw them it is ludicrous. And sets people up for problems, on a he said or she said basis, is wrong. With no witnesses you are guilty without a trial.
Same with sexual harrassment. You cannot even compliment someone or you could be sexually harrassing them. What a crock, how did we all survive, before all these rules were in place? As if life isnt stressful enough. No wonder people dont communicate anymore, and seem standoff(ish). Around any corner could be the next <font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font> trying to screw up your day.
