[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH basically demoted somebody for not reporting to work for about 100+ days this year.  The disgruntled employee calls the office FRIDAY evening and tells a manager he's going to blow my DH's head off.  HR wouldn't go in to the office over the weekend to pull the shithole's address to give officers so they could pay the psycho a visit.  By Monday, the officer assigned to the case is off until Wednesday, and my guess is HR never bothered to ask that a new officer be dispatched so they are content to just wait until Wednesday for the police to pay the shithole a visit.  Apparently they did contact the shithole to tell him he is fired though.

DH went to work on Saturday, Monday, and today.  nobody has followed up with him from HR.  apparently no officer has been dispatched.  no officer is at his office either.  This is a multi-billion $$ company.

I can only imagine how scary it would be to receive a threat like that and feel as though no one is willing to help you. OP, what have the police said when your husband has called them directly? Since he was the one who had the threat made against him, he has every right and should contact the police directly. If HR is not provoding the employee's contact information, too bad, the police should have other ways to find the individual. They could also show up at the office and get the information from HR. Also, if this is a billion dollar company has your husband looked to see if they have a Security office? I used to work in HR at a multi-billion dollar company and HR was not allowed to handle workplace violence issues. Our Security department was run by retired police officers and they dealt with all threats and incidents. Security should be much more responsive. (As an HR professional - it is DEPLORABLE that HR has not acted quickly and that your husband is still reporting to work while they are figuring this out).[/quote]
