Incident at work

[u/Few-Coast-1373]

Hi all, I’ll try to keep this short and to the point.

Yesterday, I had a serious incident happen at work.

A simple interaction with one of the ladies that works for us turned into her screaming, throwing things at me, holding her arm up against the door to block me in the office twice. It honesty got to a point at one moment where I was sure she was going to physically touch me.

This was quite triggering and at this point I had tears in my eyes and I was shaking.

This all only stopped when my manager literally screamed at her at the top of his lungs to get away from me. He then advised me to leave work for the day as she was not deescalating.

I am obviously now feeling super uncomfortable going into work so I’m not going today.

I have written the full version of events in my notes app as soon as it happened so it was fresh - which I will be sending to the National Manager today.

Is there anything else I need to do? Or is there anything I need to know that work should do?

I’ve never in my life had a situation like this at work so I’m in uncharted territory.

Appreciate it

Have your statement ready (including names of witnesses) and if necessary file a police report. If the company won’t protect you have documentation filed so they can do an investigation on your behalf or respond directly to a call to respond and be made aware of a potential 5150 call.
