Some people are really stupid.
Why would you still be standing there right in the way when this bloke was going nuts? After he practically smashed the woman round the face with a monitor, you'd have thought they'd have all realised this was serious and either got the **** out of there, or tried to restrain him ASAP. Seriously - they all just stood there and watched, WTF???

I know, you see it often in these sorts of videos where something is going on in a crowd, nobody does anything. I know for a fact that had that been my office I'd have at least TRIED to stop him and I am not brave nor strong, I would have attempted to restrain him nonetheless. I wonder what set it off, bad day at work combined with that guy knocking something over? There must have been something else wrong.

It's easy to call the shots on an internet forum.
A couple of guys did finally tackle the man. As it all kicked off, they had no way of knowing if he was immediately going to calm down or storm off. Generally he was damaging property, and if he'd have been attacking someone I'd imagine more people would have got stuck in.
One thing that does surprise me is that when the first guy tried to tackle him (the one who took the pole implement off him, whatever that was) everyone else didn't pile on.
However, who knows, he could be a total gun nut who might seek revenge. Hard to comment unless you're there really.

I totally agree with what you said there, except for:

... because imo, he'd already started hurting people (ie, the woman who got hit with the monitor? (or appeared to, anyways) -------------------- [Signature]

A few things come to mind:
I'd have let him destroy the whole office because it forces my employer to get a new, prettier one.
These office-boxes are **** and the job surely sucks aswell. No wonder he's freaking out.
I'd taunt him and see if he's up for a fight. Since most stuff in there is broken anyway one could grab all kinds of items and hit eachother with them. A man's dream. (Unless you're a ***** and think talking him out of his rampage would work ).
I'd have stepped in as soon as he tries to hit female person. I've gotten in trouble because of similar situations in the past but can't control my primary instincts. :<
The CCP offices are nice by the way. I don't have a screenshot or video at hand but there is one with lots of smiling GMs sitting on extremely comfy chairs (Eris said that once) with a big table in front of them on which the PCs rest - in a light and bright room, happily chatting and writing lots of "our logs show nothing" replies. The only downside is that one of them had more screens than the others. I guess it's one of the Elders. Err, I mean Senior GMs.
If I ever had the choice (and not the employer ) I'd want to work in a similar place.
Happy worky-worky,

Is that CCP Ginger in the video?
Yea - those people were idiots for sure. They must be the kind that pass by a accident on the highway and go from 50mph to 5mph to see it. Hope those fu*kers burn. ____________________

No, we do not have cubicles. Most of the floors in our building are open-plan, and even when there are walls they tend to be glass ones to let light through, so it's all very nice and open.
The picture Neonetic is referring to was a mislabelled one and actually shows the QA department, which has grown considerably since then and gotten a lot more room to spread out, so it is not as cramped as it looks. The GM's are one floor down and have a similar setup. As for the monitors...well some of us have as many as four once you count laptop screens. QA usually have two per machine, as do the GM's. In Art you see a lot of those wonderful cintiq's. Plus there's the usual paraphernalia of weird stuff, stereos, bean bags, stuffed toys, nerf guns, gumball machines and other assorted gadgetry scattered throughout. It's a cool office.
As for the video and the crowd's reaction...it's a pretty normal one tbh. People tend to just freeze and watch when stuff like this happens, not just in offices. No idea why it happens. Perhaps the animal part of our brain thinks staying still and quiet will make the loud aggressive person ignore you?

You guys have nerf guns? It suits you
I've heard about CCP office being such a awesome workplace - you guy's have got to be one of the best companys to work in.
What kind of pay/healthcare or w/e does CCP give though? ____________________

We're paid enough () and there's a company doctor who comes in every two weeks. CCP has a reputation for looking after its employees. Given that in some departments 60 to 70 hour weeks and weekend work are not uncommon, especially during crunch times (Hello QA department!) it helps to have an environment you actually want to work in.

Screw that for giggles, pick up a monitor and whack him in the back of the head (partly because after throwing one at someone he deserves it but meh).
Strangly enough it's probably one of the best things to do for him (as long as you don't him him too hard), knock in out, shove him in a quiet corner in the recovery position and tell everyone else to **** off. When people get there to help and he wakes up he'll be alot more sedate then if you'd been pinning him down for the past 10mins with everyone staring at him. The recovery position is actually quite a nice relaxing thing to wake up into.
