Background
A reputed manufacturing firm with over 150 employees faced an escalating internal crisis caused by an aggressive, confrontational employee who had a history of threatening remarks and intimidating behavior toward supervisors and colleagues.
The tipping point came when the employee made direct verbal threats toward their immediate supervisor after being challenged over frequent late arrivals and incorrect timekeeping records. The matter was so serious that the supervisor filed a police complaint and expressed reluctance to continue managing this individual.
The employer’s HR infrastructure was almost non-existent, with no formal disciplinary policy, grievance redressal process, or documentation framework to support objective handling of such incidents. Previous instances of misconduct had been handled informally, leaving no proper records that could support dismissal if challenged legally.
