[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 116111, member: 1991"] Sounds like a bloke like that, probably upsets a lot of people and in turn gets rejected in many more places than just this job. I wouldn't be losing sleep over him; if anyone is in the firing line, it's the ASM. But I suspect if this guy wants to 'get even', there are a lot of people ahead of ASM on his list. Seriously, he was just trying to be a jerk. A bloke trying to bully women in the workplace. As if you would hear those threats and say to him, "I'm sorry - in that case, here is your job back, so I can go to Mexico after all and feel safe." He's a dreamer, a time-waster and in general not-nice-person. What would he gain from actually carrying out any of those threats? Absolutely nothing. He certainly wouldn't get his job back! It does sound to me like your PTSD has been ramped up a notch, but if he succeeds in making you anxious (which is his aim) then he has won. Not good. I doubt very much he would ever do anything. The world is full of psychopaths. Most of them are smart enough to not break the law because they don't want their freedom curtailed. You only ever hear about the ones who get caught for some spectacularly nasty crime. They are very much the minority. Sounds like your workplace is well off without him. I'm glad you told the cops, though. Making threats is a stupid thing to do, because if anything goes wrong he is going to be the first person they talk to. Marg [/QUOTE]
