Q
does IIPP apply to remote workers? telecommuters?
No. Just employees who work out of an employer controlled facility.
Q
My manager often uses violent language. For example, he'll say that people who don't do as he asks will be "beaten". Worse, he'll say that certain customers are "raping" us. While he clearly does not mean these words literally, the language is certainly offensive. Is it also illegal?
It's generally not illegal to use curse words or language that people could find aggressive - if it's not based on a legally protected characteristic. The exception to that general guideline would be if the person is causing people to fear workplace violence.
Whether legal or illegal - it's still a problem and someone should tell the person their language is making the workplace culture unhealthy and selecting their words more carefully would benefit the team energy and morale.
Hope that helps (and good luck)....
Q
While I agree that Dale's actions where unacceptable (throwing a bottle), I feel everyone else got a free ride making fun of Dale's baldness, especially when they already know he is under pressure. Other's people's jokes should have also constituted as bullying and verbal abuse, shouldn't they have? Just feels Dale took the fall for everything here, and then humiliated by being locked out of the building.
And yes, you're correct that the co-workers' actions contributed to the volatile situation but even so, Dale lost control of himself which is simply not acceptable.
