Until they discovered that he was stealing from the company.

And from then on, I often offered to empty his ashtray and get his coffee.

And not once, NOT ONCE, were any of these people reprimanded or demoted as a result of their abusive actions.

In fact, one the most abusive bosses I ever worked for was promoted repeatedly despite complaints from staff she supervised and other staff who were at her same level.

And I've never worked at Fox News.

I am a former Fox News intern, I used to work in the newsroom and I am now a current active duty member of the military, I resent you calling the culture Roger Ailes fosters as "militaristic"

"Next time I'll rip your fucking head off...!?" That kind of shit would never slide in the military under similar circumstances - and I have worked with soldiers, marines, and sailors in stressful situations. If a supervisor yelled at a subordinate like that, there would be major career-changing repercussions for the supervisor in question. Further more, it was in the middle of the crowded newsroom, and Broderick only got a slap on the wrist? What kind of message does that send to the staff of Fox News? In the military, as a unit commander, you would never want to foster such a culture of disunity.

Of course, it would be a different story if the worker in question was say, working on a flight deck of a carrier with her head up her ass putting people's lives in danger, yep, an ass chewing would be called for...

We have a "zero tolerance" policy toward violence in the workplace. That means you behave violently once, and you're fired. It's that way at a lot of companies.

I'm rather stunned this guy could behave that way and keep his job at a major co. like Fox.
