The human resources director approaches the occupational health nurse about a situation he learned about from a manager in building 2. The manager reported that an employee has been acting out during the last 2 weeks, shouting at other employees. Additionally, the employee’s work product has not met quality standards on several occasions during the same time period. Another employee told the manager that she heard the employee say that he was “fed up with everyone” and was going to “put an end to it.”
