Does Cadre Control handle threats against other employees?
An employee in a branch office issues a thinly veiled threat to another employee over the company e-mail system. This employee is said to have made additional, verbal remarks that cause concern among co-workers. While the employee’s performance is adequate, the performance of co-workers is slipping, and tension within the department is perceived to be rising. Possible solution: An investigation of the employee’s background uncovers past problems which were not volunteered before employment was offered. The employee is offered a small settlement to leave voluntarily. Security in the department is increased for several months, and the employee’s manager and the co-worker who received the threatening note receive some protection at home as well.
