    I met almost all of the indicators above when I worked for Sprint. I even talked to corporate security about it. They said they knew that female coworkers were deliberately undermining me with the director I reported directly to.. Yet they kept it quiet and did nothing.ni complained to HR and that is when trouble really started. HR lied to me and when I proved they were lying they didn’t blink an eye and continued to attack me. I never once thought of bringing weapon to work. I thought they were sensible people who would see the truth in what I said. Never happened. Harassment got worse until I went out on disability for major depression. They never returned my personal belongings and wouldn’t allow me to get them. I was laid off within six weeks and never heard from them until three months later when I was called by HR to tell me I was not eligible for a pension because I had not worked there long enough. I used my math and found I was vested in the retirement program. I told them and they had to reluctantly agreed to reinstate me. It wasbobviously an attempt to cheat me out of a pension. They jeaprodized my future. And not once did I threaten anyone.
    I do now understand why some people do kill at work. Corporations will circle the wagons when an employee charges illegal acts have been committed against them. They won’t be honest about it and the frustration builds to the boiling point. Why aren’t they charged as accessories to the crime? Nobody ever addresses who drove the person to commit a violent crime! They should ne held accountable fo it and pay compensation and somebody in HR should go o prison for allowing it to happen.
