So we had our Christmas night out last night. And it was going well, usual fun and drunkenness. Until......boy A kissed girl A and boy B waded in and punched boy A. Boys A and B and girl A all work in the same team. Boy B then left the pub and Boy A followed him and may have retaliated at this point. This was all witnessed by the boss of the team. Turns out girl A and boy B have been seeing each other for a few months, which no-one in the team knew about. Boy B is a bit of a volatile character.
The police were called and spoke to them both separately and they were told to behave themselves, so from the police point of view there are no problems. But.....Monday morning is going to be interesting. We don't have HR staff in our office and I will be prodding the bosses to contact the right people in our head office to ask for advice. What can work do about it? Boy B was the one at fault. Can he be sacked? I think at least a couple of us are hoping he quits so no formal procedures have to be gone through.
Aargh. At least another member of staff who got very drunk (which meant I missed the kissing/punching as I was trying to manhandle her into a cab with another girl helping) won't be getting teased on Monday quite as much as she would have been otherwise.
