Employee snaps when boss breaks organizer before client meeting, tells him to shut up: 'I couldn't hold back'
Work stress can bring the worst out of any employee, no matter how professional they usually are.
When an important meeting or deadline needs to go to plan, it can be difficult to hold it together in the workplace when you are trying to prioritize this. Teamwork is not considered an essential skill in most jobs for nothing, and it can be one of the first things to be cast aside when things get serious.
While it is understandable that sometimes colleagues get into disagreements, these can escalate to a level that causes real trouble in the workplace. This is especially true when an employee has an altercation with management, as this is the most likely to put their job on the line. Everybody loses their temper from time to time, but it can have some serious ramifications when it happens at work, no matter how justified it may be.
