Some people believe that a certain amount of conflict on the job is normal. But too often, arguments can escalate into insults, challenges and threats. Sometimes these conflicts can even become physical, and lead to serious injuries, even death. All of these situations are examples of workplace violence, and they can happen in any work environment.
