Have you experienced any specific incidents that make you feel unsafe?
There has been an incident off company property where one employee committed a violent act against another employee. I am the manager and concerned that the accused employee will retaliate against me if I personally deliver the termination letter. Since they know what car I drive and if I am in the building. There are concerns that the accused employee suffers from mental health instability
That sounds like a challenging situation. As a manager, your safety is important. Here are some general steps you might consider:
- Discuss your concerns with HR for alternative ways to deliver the letter.
- Consider having security present during the delivery.
- Document all incidents and communications regarding this situation.

I have considered speaking with HR, now that they have been involved in the case. And I'm hear speaking with you to see if my company can force me to choose between compromise my personal safety by delivering the termination letter or exit the company because they won't support my concerns. Thank you for providing the phone number

Yes, I have emails where I express my concerns and have documents a call I had with my supervisor where I was told having tough conversations is something I need to work on. Even though I have issued termination letters in the past with no issues. the difference here is I am concerned the accused employee will retaliate against me in a similar violent manner.
