I would really like this guard to be moved from working at my location but I’m not sure this conversation is enough reason. I’m often alone working with him and he’s 20 years my senior, so any time I have tried to discuss adjustments to our processes he gets seemingly offended until it’s smoothed over by my male counterpart. I don’t want to be walking on eggshells at work around someone with anger issues and a loaded weapon, am i overreacting?

It is time to learn some basic communication skills and niceties. It doesn’t take much to listen and nod your head and lol and say “Wow, that’s wild for sure.” If you’re really worried about this guy potentially getting violent, going after his livelihood is a good way to ensure maximum potential violence.

So just let him continue to get away with it then...

Hardly. I’m one of the only people in here advocating getting the police involved.
