Today, at my workplace, I saw a system crashing. I mean literally, my manager was throwing my colleague's laptop at him while shouting around the office. This is only my second day. FML

That sounds like an episode of the Office. I can totally see Michael Scott doing that to somebody...

If you are sharp in those moments, you can get a raise: just go help the manager and side with anything he says. It worked twice for me.

hey i moderated this one!! :D

Anger never comes out of nowhere. The manager probably had a good reason for his actions.

That's not necessarily true... Especially if said boss is a bipolar lady on her period. O.o Of course, my knowledge of women is very limited so I'm basing myself on what my cat does.

why would ladies not have the right to be respected managers just like men? You are from the dark ages dude...

If you don't like your situation, try become a manager yourself. He worked hard to get there, he deserves the benefits of his position. He earned it.

The benefit of being a manager does not include physically terrorizing the employees.

It's very hard being in charge of a group of employees. You must keep them scared of you while you dodge the legal issues they try to throw at you because they are jealous of you being the manager.

I agree. Everyone tries to make the managers look like the bad guys. If they don't like their job, maybe a communist country would be better for them?

I'm a restaurant manager, and I'd fire any of my employees on the spot if they ever threw anything at a co-worker. And my bosses would do the same to me. Because honestly, if I were eating at a restaurant and saw a manager pitch a laptop or a glass or anything else at an employee, I'd never eat there again. It's about professionality. Being a manager entails behaving like an adult, not a four-year-old throwing a tantrum.

Kudos on not booking your ass out of there, like I would have done.

I mean literally. nothing is worth getting that upset over. literally I say.

what about getting 3 members of your family raped?

Well 54 I'm glad you asked. How about we discuss this over a Nice, warm, cup of SHUT THE **** UP?

Find a new job. It's only a matter of time until this happens to you. But beforehand, report what you saw to HR and convince your coworker to do the same. Good luck OP

Don't do that! That's probably why your ex-coworker got in trouble in the first place. Love and respect your elders.

What office is this? Michael Scott must be proud.

I recommend full body armor, preferably of the medieval persuasion. Either that or something more akin to Iron Man. Just as long as it can save you from taking a laptop to the skull or any other tender area, I guess. Or practice ducking ;-)
