It was around three o 'clock in the afternoon in our workplace and everybody had already taken their afternoon break when suddenly I heard some tumultuous noise 10 meters away from my desk. I could not distinguish immediately the source of that sound but I can conclude right away that there are employees who are fighting terribly as you can discern that the persons involved tried to knockdown each other as I heard shouting and poundings. In addition, I heard also the crashing and blasting of office tables and chairs, which possibly used on the brawl or just whacked by the two extremely …show more content…
I was the last one to get there as I phoned first our manager as well as the guards at the ground floor, which I had reported the incident happening in our department. When I arrived to the scene, I just saw bruises, broken noses, and swollen and bloody faces of the two of our co-workers. The two of them seems eager to kill one another. The fierce fighting was halt when the manager had arrived and with him was two of the company 's guard who had helped to mediate the clash. Later on cops came and brought the two employees to the police station with handcuffs.
Many had asked questions about the cause of the confrontations, which escalates the tension. What is the reason of the clash?

There are plenty of assumptions by fellow employees about the real cause of the problem. Some had assumed that it was because of professional rivalry, which end-up to untoward incident. Furthermore, there were other different versions came out which suggest variety of main causes of the incident. However, unknown to others, by using critical analysis we able to uncover the root cause of the problem of the two former best friends who happens to love to a same girl.
My counter-measure about the case: To prevent such incident like this, I think effective communication needed especially if both party are professionals. Do not let the emotions that will control individual decisions especially in choosing between good and bad. I believe that the confrontation, which resulted to using bare hands to mangle and disfigure their faces, could had prevented if employee A did not give his former friend the motive -- entrusting his former girlfriend to him in his absence. On other hand, if his girlfriend had a respect to him and to their relationship and if she truly loves him she will
