So, I’m new here so please bare with. First time posting anywhere! 


I work for a big company and it’s a pretty chilled out office environment. We have big open spaces, loads of areas to play games etc but we all kinda sit near each other. So it’s a relaxed environment and we’re all pretty close. The other day my coworker got the shit end of the stick and had to deal with a couple of annoying calls. One was a customer of mine calling to clarify something with me (he was annoyed he had to deal with it and they came through to his phone. It happens sometimes, we all have to transfer calls. So not normally an issue) So after finishing the call, I go back over to my other friends desk who sits next to this guy. He started being really passive aggressive, I asked him to stop and then he threatened to hit me. 

So I went and reported him to my boss. Since then a few people he’s close with have all been ignoring me. My boss was pushing for me to go to HR but I decided not to, as I know he wouldn’t actually hit me. But it’s beyond unprofessional to threaten someone at work. 

So AITA?
