I just read this else where.
A discussion about anger management .
I just wanted to share my reflection to you about people getting angry and how they deal with it.
Here is the my reflection.
Reminds myself of a situation in one of my first factory jobs.
I ( 20 yrs old ) was one of 3 new junior machine operators. Blow - molding plastic bottles.
The factory was full of line workers, operators, electricians etc roughly 50-60 people per shift...
About 6-8 months later, one of the senior operators, ( lets call him John) was doing a change over to a new set up with the help of a junior operator ( lets call him Bruce ).
Things were not going so well , John was know for his temper and tossing his tools.
I was working on my machine adjustments a few stations away and the shift was going well for me.
A few hours go by with a lot of cussing and some Drama. The foreman spoke with John about the attitude. This made things worse.
After the foreman's "meeting" with John, John was sent to work in another department for the remainder of the shift.
Bruce continued to work on the set-up with another operator.
Suddenly every one heard a long series of curse words with a loud bang. Then a ladies Scream
Bruce had learned the wrong way to "express his frustrations " weather it was directly from John or some where else in his life.
Bruce had threw a 3 ft pry bar across the plant . The ladies scream, was from when she was impaled in the back by said pry bar.
By the end of that shift,
with the police , fire and ambulance in the plant.
John was terminated,
Bruce was terminated, charged with assault
The lady was in emergency surgery,
I learned a lesson.
The lady happened to be an innocent bystander just doing her job.
She survived and returned to work in a year.
I continued to work there for 13 years.
