bc I swear every day im being hit or slapped or groped or pinched and its not just one coworker doing this, its like half of them. Just today I was slapped by a coworker in front of a customer for throwing a bottle of water at his face 😒. Curious how much this goes on at your workplaces. and no Im not being abused im just being a shit ass at work

    Wtf never. Not only would it get someone fired, it’s a cause for a lawsuit or possibly a crime where I live.

    Got slapped for throwing a bottle of water at his face

    Sounds like you may be part of the problem, especially if it happens to you as often as you describe Sometimes, when everything is shit, try checking under your shoes

    Never. Getting physical with a coworker would be a crime where I live.

    Last month I got stomped on by a coworker. My foot isn’t 100% yet. I still brushed their hair at the end of the day. Some of my coworkers are horses.

    I didn’t know your situation but you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect at your job. It sounds like the environment isn’t great? You’re throwing stuff at coworkers and they’re slapping you back? Your customers can’t be very happy to see that behavior.

    To answer your question, that’s never happened at a job I’ve worked at and I wouldn’t tolerate it.

    OP do you work in a physical job? Warehouse, construction, military, something like that? These are the only types of environments where I remember this being weirdly normal.

    Everywhere else it’s an easy way to lose your job and/or catch a charge.

    Absoluetly zero, it has litterarly never happened to me or anyone I know, I know it has happend at a place of work I worked at earlier, but it was dealt with swiftly and correctly.

    Why did you throw a water bottle at a coworker?

    Never, I never got slapped at work, and I also never threw a bottle of water at anyone’s face at work, violence begets violence. Either of these sounds like something I would go to HR to complain about.
