I'm paranoid my coworker might kill or harm me and our other coworkers.
I will come out and say that I do have mild ocd so this could be it making me spiral.
Story is, this guy got reported to HR. I won't spill the details, but it was pretty bad (violation of company policy, terminable levels). And it's pretty much his fault, he has repeatedly disregarded it, but he is the kind of person who is delusional. He won't ever own up to his mistakes, actually I think he thinks he never did anything wrong. Just denial of reality.
I just got sucked into this mess (I just want to clarify I never planned on reporting it to HR) because in one part of the report, it was pretty obvious the information came from me. He violated a policy in our shift together and the only reason why somebody else knew was because I was just asking for clarification so that I won't be the one to take blame for it, so I just explained the situation to them. Next thing I knew after I returned from my day off SOMEBODY ELSE reported it, they didn't say my name or anything, but the situation itself already points to me.
Now this guy is pretty wacko, he said weird things behind out backs. Saying stuff like: he knows people, it would be so easy to find out where we all live, stuff like that. And a before I got hired I heard he said that he would have stabbed and killed all of them before. But people who knew him wayyy back keep reassuring me that he has always said stuff like that but never has done anything. That he was just a coward and would never have the guts to do something like that.
And I do see their point. With what I've gathered from the guy, he's pretty pathetic. He keeps on making lies (everyone else knows he's lying) to better himself, or to save his ass from his own mistakes. Never admits fault. I think he's just insecure and wants everyone to look up to him but he has no good qualities at all because every single one of his coworkers actively dislike him.
BUT STILL, even if they try to reassure me that he has always said that stuff before, who wouldn't be stressed out hearing about that stuff? Ugh, this is all so annoying!
And to clarify about the report, it's not just my incident. There were more incidences that were included and they were all combined into one report. I was the only one whose incident made it obvious who it came from.
