Hostile, Violent work environment - Anonymous employee Emerson Employee Review

Culture of violence and acceptance / enabling During a meeting with another employee, he got angry and hit a table, which then hit me leaving a bruise and swelling. I reported this to HR and another VP. Their solution was to provide coaching to me with the advice "if you ask more questions, he'll feel more needed and less likely to get violent". Terrible advice. No real leadership. Sexist, hostile culture that grows worse everyday.
