Going Postal

From time to time cases of people going berserk in the workplace surface. Sometimes these people go into their workplace with a gun and indiscriminately shoot a load of people before turning the gun on themselves. The official explanation is they went nuts. However, if you dig a little deeper, you often find that the shootings aren't that indiscriminate and that the person who has gone on the spree has been harassed and mobbed to breaking point.

This is quite well documented but not very well known. Now just think, if someone calls you into an office and tells you about evil things a person is said to have done and you are given the instructions to harass the target by giving stares etc. you, yourself are putting yourself at risk from possible retaliation from the target. The people asking you to do this harassment know this very well but they have no qualms about putting you in the firing line whilst they observe amused from a safe distance. And if the worst does happen and the target does lose it, you get shot and everyone else keeps sh tum and those that orchestrated it deny everything hiding behind their lawyers. Because you have been instructed not to tell a soul (not even your spouse) no one outside the circle asks questions because they all believe the official version of events.

So what I'm saying is, think carefully about the motives of someone that tries to persuade you to go along with something like this. Are they telling you because they like and trust you and want you to be in their little gang? Or are they USING you to do their dirty work. Knowing that if it goes belly up you will be the one that cops it.
