      Blame whoever you want. In reality they teach you not to be a hero. Security is there for that. They are the people responsible. If they ask you to do something, do it. If they don’t, then don’t try anything that may make the situation worse.

      Product is replaceable and insured. Your life, or the life of anyone else there isn’t. The fact is that it most likely impacted other people working there since “manager got punched in the face, I don’t feel safe here anymore” is a reasonable reaction.

      He probably shouldn’t have gotten fired for it, but still - OP isn’t entirely blameless.

      injuries cost more than most stolen goods. This is one of the realities we face between insurance companies and lack of welfare.

      Here’s a doozy for ya: in Canada, a person can smash your window to break into your house, and if they cut themselves on the broken glass, they have every legal right to sue you and win.

        I am aware of that. Didn’t a guy try to break in via skylight window and fall on a cutting board & knife?
