Aggression From Your Supervisor: Answer D
You are a quality inspector. After making your own
calculations, you disagree with your supervisor as to the
acceptable quality of the item you have been asked to pass
through. With a rolled-up newspaper in his hand, your
supervisor swings it in your direction, hitting the back of the
chair you are sitting in. What do you do?
Answer D: Since the boss says, 'I was only joking,' you
ignore the act.
Lockheed Martin's Comment: -5 points
Intimidation unchecked is intimidation encouraged. Lack of
response will encourage this sort of behavior to expand.
