If he can't be a professional then the company is better off without him. Each person is responsible for their own actions. That included swinging at someone regardless of the excuse.

Your test infrastructure is crap. Also it sounds like you don't do proper version control. It should be easy to reverse a change to the website. The only good news is that at least the abusive bully was fired. No one will miss him and you can hire someone nicer.

That guy's anger issues got him fired. Punching a supervisor, or anybody, at work is a really stupid idea. That's not your fault.

It's not your fault that he can't act like a mature, professional adult. He deserved getting fired.

He definitely deserved that one, he brought it on himself. It's wasn't your fault.

Someone who uses violence in the workplace (or anywhere) should definitely get fired. That was not your fault!

Holy crap

Dont think about it like that. Not your fault. Either that guy cant control his temper = His fault. Or the company is pushing the admin team to work without enough resources, which might lead to such meltdown. Still not your fault, but company's. Its completely ******* normal that we make mistakes. And to avoid mistakes hitting production your company should provide development and staging environments where you test everything before they are actually pushed to the production site showed to public... this of course means all datasources etc need to have dev and/or stage envs too.

I don't think that's your fault. You screwed up, to er is human. It's his fault for acting so irrationally and unprofessionally, regardless of his personal situation.

He shouldn't of went to punch anyone
