What If?
Here's the scenario:
You work in a secure office. The ONLY people who have access to the room during your shift are you and your coworker.
While you're getting your lunch out of the Fridge you look down and realize your coworker left his backpack open on the table and there's a handgun in it.
(I want this to be CLEAR NO ONE is authorized access to your office but you and your coworker. No one else even has a key. This isn't the same as randomly leaving the gun in the bathroom)
The guy also doesn't drive. He has no car to leave the gun in. So his only option is to leave in his backpack. It's (IMO) not an escalation like it would be if he COULD leave it in his car but chose not to.
Company policy is ZERO TOLERANCE automatic, immediate termination on the first offense. The coworker doesn't SEEM to be a fruitcake.
What do you do?
