5 Reasons Why You Should Not Take A Swing At The Boss – A Risk Management Perspective

In a tongue in cheek post in Above The Law, I provided “5 Reasons Why You Should Not Take A Swing At The Boss – A Risk Management Perspective.”

However, there was a real takeaway: “Take a walk around the block, go to a yoga class, or, kvetch to your spouse.  Just don’t, DON’T, don’t resort to violence.”

“There are a lot of good reasons why it is not a good idea to punch the boss, not least of which is that it is illegal.  … There is probably a nice cozy jail cell waiting for you where you can meditate (or, better still, read a blog) while waiting for your arraignment hearing. …

“Not only might you end up in the hospital once your boss picks his jaw off the floor — because, hey, you sure can throw a punch, Rocky! — and I’m just guessing here, but there’s a sporting chance that the boss will haul off and deck you!

“Oh, one more thing — it is unlikely that you’ll receive a positive letter of recommendation or a favorable reference from the boss when you try to obtain your next job.”
