We just finished one of our anuual training requirements here at work and the topic was "Workplace Violence".  The program (computer based training) gave a bunch of early warning signs of workplace violence.  I'm reading through them, and get to one of the last warning signs on the list...

"Extreme interest in semi-automatic or automatic firearms and their ability to destroy people"[rolleyes]

So, should I report myself to the HR dept or go get counseling on my own now that I am beginning to show warning signs of workplace violence?[:D]

Just curious... Is this program specific to your company, or a generic topic from one of the training sites such as SmartForce?

no, there is no cure, no shrink can help. the only relief is continued use of the drug.

Your post count suggests a lukewarm interest at best.  You're safe.

One HR training manual I read stated that a person was considered high-risk if they had purchased a firearm within the past 90 days and should be monitored.

In that case, I'd better keep buying guns, or they might stop thinking I'm high-risk.[:P]

Ain't no joke, dude.  Some of the manuals simplify that to "Has an interest in firearms or weapons".
Ain't very funny either.

not joke=funny haha

i just started a new job and i get to carry concealed at my desk!!! [bounce][bounce][bounce]



now let's see those HR B#stards F#ck with Me!!!

generally you can stop most work related shooting by treating your employees like human beings and not disposable razor blades.  shoot, at several places i have worked the rental Xerox machine is treated better than the employees because the the boss had to put down a deposit on the Xerox.
