Any Advice On This?

So my roommate and previous best friend just got arrested. He trashed my house in a temper tantrum last night. He flew off the handle and just lost it. We called the cops and now he's seeing the judge, possibly getting charged with domestic violence. My question is, what do I do? Have any of you had experience with this? I now want no contact with this dick because of all the shit he's caused. One of the problems is that he is under me at work so seeing him is kind of my job. I'm seriously at a loss for what to do. Any advice would be nice. EDIT: I have spoken with my manager and am currently emailing HR. They're looking into the options.

  • Ok - so there's a lot going on here... I'm assuming you are in the United States... 1. Face the fact that you may have to work with him. Companies typically won't do anything unless A) it happened at work B) he is convicted of a crime C) the act outside of work is so disruptive to work that it creates a hostile work environment [kind of the hardest to prove] 2. HR may say "nothing we can do". So if you are uncomfortable - suck it up. If you are truly concerned for your safety or the safety of others, bring it up again, but characterize it as "Hostile Work Environment". HR has an obligation to investigate 3. Don't tell him he needs to quit. As his immediate supervisor, that'll get you in hot water. Even if you think you can discuss like adults, don't do it. Bad idea 4. Find another job. Kind of the nuclear option - but given the likelihood that you'll have to suck it up - it is an option. Good luck
