How to deal with workplace violence.

Violence in the workplace can be unpleasant, overwhelming, and frightening. I remember last year, I was on Facebook messenger and was trying to speak to a former employee i knew from work and he wasn't in a good mood at all. He planned on coming to his former workplace and was about to do physical violence towards me. But sure enough, he never did. Afterwards, I felt relieved.
