Ex-Workers Who Kill Those Who Have Treated Them Unfairly

Over the last few years it has become more common to hear about an employee who gets fired. The worker feels strongly that he or she has been treated improperly. So the terminated employee returns with one or more loaded firearms and proceeds to kill those individuals that she/he feels treated them badly.

Many times these individuals are long term employees, and when they return they are very specific in who they target and kill. Specific owners, managers, supervisors, and sometimes even their ex-colleagues.

The company always has a great story to tell about how well they treat their workers. But there is always a strong nagging suspicion that there are two sides to this story, and that there probably is something to the aggrieved employee's story about ill treatment. Sometimes this involves continued racial discrimination, other times it is a case where the company has made specific promises to the employee but then does not fulfill its commitment.

Either way, which ever side of the story seems most believable to you, one or more of the owners, managers, or supervisors typically has now been shot dead.

I worked as a supervisor and then as a manager for twenty five years. Based upon my personal experience it is crystal clear to me that if one treats workers like children, they will behave like children. But if the bosses are truly honest with the workers, and if they respect them and take the time to listen to them, these sorts of terrible situations should never occur.
