Description
Dying on the Job is the first book on workplace violence to focus exclusively on workplace murder. While some perpetrators are certainly mentally impaired, many workplace murders are committed by people considered to be "normal." Brown explores the various motives and drives that spark workplace murder, and answers hundreds of questions that are usually asked only after a workplace murder rampage has already occurred. Why do men fired from their jobs, take between 7 to 8 weeks to return to the job site to kill their boss in revenge? Why do women come to this decision in less than an hour? What common, everyday object have women used to murder and maim male coworkers and bosses, but which has never been used to harm another woman on the job? How can people more easily spot those likely to commit workplace murder? What are some of the warning signs? The answers to these questions and more are based on more than 350 actual cases of workplace murder, and the answers are often surprising. Brown also addresses different areas of prevention, counseling, and rehabilitation, and analyzes different approaches to gun control for both management and employees to make their job a safer place to work.
