As I contemplated anger management in the workplace, I stumbled across a post shared last year about Anna and Paul, co-workers in an organisation. Anna, 22, joined the company for her first post-grad job in January and encountered Paul, 60, who has angry outbursts almost every day she is in the office.
“Usually, it is not directed toward me, but it makes me very uncomfortable as I have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Paul will start yelling and banging on the table, and even when the outward anger is over, he will still be visibly angry and seething. It has affected me deeply to the point where I am afraid to go to work. (I work from home 2/5 days a week, and I dread the three days I go in person because of Paul's outbursts),” she revealed.
