He was upset that my answer wasn't to his liking.
He blew up, and he has a history of treating me and my other coworkers poorly...he is the same level as we are.
I reported him to my management, his management and both his and my HR departments.
I have a big meeting with him and HR tommorrow....they asked me what I want to see done to this guy...I think anger management training would be sufficient, but my coworkers asked me to suggest he get let go.......what do you think?

It's not your decision to keep him or let him go -- and you will just sound bitter if you suggest it. Tell HR the facts and let them decide what to do. That's what they are there for, and they know the right way to handle it. You don't want to be responsible for some poor slob losing his job.

I agree with Good Starch, because given that he is the type that blows up easily, being let go could be the something that puts him over the edge. As we all know "going postal" has become an all too common thing. Anger management may or may not help him. Chances are, there is more going on with him than meets the eye.

First of all, I don't think that you should be the one to recommend to the company what "should be done to this guy." It is the company's decision. We may make fun of HR people, but they are the ones who know the company guidelines for different behaviors and supposedly, they are trained people. If you have to suggest something, you may want to suggest that he be transferred to a different department or even location. Do not put yourself in a judgemental position that may make continuing to have to work with him be difficult for yourself. Just get an apology. The HR department will put a note in his records and he may eventually be let go, according to company rules.

He won't get let go due to that. When you meet with the big wigs, suggest the anger management. You other coworkers don't need to know. If they ask, tell them you can't discuss it.

I'm sorry you got the brunt end of an angry person who can't control their rage. If he is a lose cannon, you don't want that rage backfiring, do you consider him a liability? Do you think he is capable of a lot of harm? We've all heard about the crazy guy let-go from his job tuned spiteful with ammo. Don't let it happen to you and your co-workers. Go with your true gut feeling, if he is dangerous, they need to let him go. Good luck.

They asked you what to do! First they are not going to fire him because you were embarrassed/scared. If he has a record of this something severe may happen. By record I mean has this behavior been reported and documented by mgmt. What will probably happen they will sit him down and talk to him, you tell mgmt you want a apology and to put this incident in his employee file.

I agree with you, anger management sounds very good, and you dont want it to seem as thought you just want him fired, it could back fire on you.

hey, if you insist to let him go, just make sure he is not the type of person who will come back with AK-47..
give him a chance such as put him in another group.

Pink slip time. No one needs to work with someone like that.
