Why did I get fired for hurting someone who was damaging productivity?

[FýrdracaDócincel]

College-boy type tried stealing the work materials I was using for something important because he was having a tantrum and I punched him in the neck as hard as I could.

The only possible explanation I can think of as to why I was let go is because I handled the situation in an efficient manner (which I've noticed the vast majority of people tend to not like for some fucking reason).

What I do know is that kid is gonna be thinking twice before trying that crap with the next guy he's paired with. That place will be better off because I did this supposedly "unacceptable" thing.

This happened months ago but it still boggles the mind how ridiculously ungrateful people in charge tend to be
Wouldn't know what's good for them if they were living in paradise.

You are 24 years old and you cannot punch people.

You are no longer a kid.

You better be grateful the cops weren't called and sent you to prison on a 1 year assault charge.

If you don't like your coworkers, tell your boss or quit.

I sometimes feel like breaking people's necks, but I understand I will go to jail if I do.

You need self control as an adult.

And the neck?

That is very dangerous area to punch someone. You can kill someone by punching the neck. It can sever the wind pipe.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

What I'm wondering is why my former superiors didn't cover it up lol.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Yeah I'm actually pretty glad all it did was cause him serious pain.

[Stupidsigninpage]

Well consider yourself lucky.

[ohshee]

You did this for what reason. Because he was beating up your grandmother he was kicking your dog what did you do this for I'm confused you hit somebody as hard as you can in the neck knowing you could have killed him for doing what

[purplepoppy]

I wouldn't have fired you and reported you to the police for attempted murder. Not doing so would leave me open to prosecution.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Pesky pesky

[whereismyjohnny]

Because of physical violence?

I'd be surprised if you didn't get fired.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

See.. I feel like people go on about "violence bad" when they really just don't like efficiency.

[Guy13]

Because they would be condoning Violence if they did not fire you. And likely, get sued. They can’t even touch that guy because of your Actions. He’s good for life..

[Soteris]

Stealing work materials is a lot less problematic than violence even if justified. You were simply the bigger liability in that situation.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

You have a point.

[OddBeMe]

Umm, assault has a zero tolerance policy. If they didn’t fire your ass the tantrum guy could've sued.

[Dargil]

Because you committed a felony.

[Redstang88]

You’re kidding, right?

[omnivert]

Ohw, you broke the rule of the office environment.
