Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New Jersey

Re: Physical abuse in the workplace

You may have recourse against your boss. We should schedule a time to talk to both you and your co-worker who witnessed the event. What you need to do first is to complain IN WRITING to human resources, and KEEP A COPY of whatever you write to them (like an e-mail that you print a copy out of--don't just save it on the computer either).

Re: Physical abuse in the workplace

Quit, stay, file criminal charges, file civil lawsuit. Now, if you're serious about doing something, I'd suggest you promptly hire counsel to bring civil claims, starting with a threat of suit and offer to settle that includes you getting a severance package to leave the company. You said nothing about being injured, other than your ego, so your damages are for that, and the principle of the wrong. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
