Feeling uncomfortable at work [View all]
I've talked before about the freeper gun nuts that I have to share a set of cubicles with at work, so there is no privacy and you can overhear EVERYTHING. These guys aren't the quickest on the draw when it comes to helping contrary or demanding users. Matter of fact, they try to put it off as long as they can. One of them was talking to someone on the phone about a help request and he made the comment that he'd "fix the problem by putting a bullet in her head".
For the record, I have been acquainted with this person as a coworker for quite a few years and I think he was just spouting off steam. But the ass should not have made such a comment. "Think" before you open your mouth. I'm sure he would not like it if someone got ticked at one of his sons and made the same comment.
What would you do? Would you ignore that comment or report it to someone? I felt very uncomfortable with it being said, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who heard him say it.
Edited to add: I thought this was particularly callous since one of our coworkers committed suicide this past week.
