Case Study $2$: Death Becomes You

You have been the human resource manager for Gods Will Limited for two years. You never thought you would work in an organization with such interesting, creative and sometimes strange people. However, you like the fast$-$paced energy that permeates through the organization. The employee at issue, Eddie Gabel, works in the technical department. Department members there are known for their artistry and creativity, in addition to their technical and mechanical expertise. They are considered to be some of the best in their field. The culture of the department is quite informal, and workers there are known for their playful banter and pranks. However, Eddies pranks and statements begin to escalate beyond acceptable. Today, Eddie ran into his immediate supervisors office with a fake gun, pushed him down and put the gun to his head. As he ran out the door, Eddie said that next time it would be a real gun. You were contacted immediately after the incident. Your organization has a zero tolerance policy concerning workplace violence: All threats and other acts of violence result in immediate termination. Thus, the decision is made to terminate Eddie.
