oh, we need the gun details.
Surprisingly I cant recall being called any names to my face. I did get kicked by an employee, and fired a guy who refused to come down off a roof to get his check...I left it on the ladder.
I was recently told I was the worst employee and not committed at all because I wanted to take a week off for shoulder surgery. He also called me a liar and said I didn't inform him of this surgery months ago when I applied for the job even though the other interviewer remembers me telling them both about it.
One fucking week when I need at least two, and I'm the worst employee. I told him I would choose the surgery over the job if he didn't give me the time off and that shut him up real fast. Now I plan on keeping it only until I find something else, even if it's lower pay.

It was my 1st week on the job, and was fixing a problem with Microsoft Outlook for a shipping supervisor. He was talking to another guy in his office, and I guess I was taking too long. He ends up saying to me "Do you want me to pack you a fucking lunch?" I didn't really respond to him. He was most likely joking though as I got to know him better.

Once, about 20 years ago, back in the bad old days of GM, a friend of mine comes up to me , white as a ghost, and says that this black guy just pulled out the biggest knife he ever saw and threatened him that he was going to kill him if he couldn't fix the problem they were having. I drove the guy back to the die room and he quit die repair right there and then.
I still laugh about it today. btw-I went out to the press in question and fixed the problem. Those guys that ran that press used to be able to take the rest of the day off after they made a certain piece count. They got kinda ornery when things didn't run right.

Hand guns, small caliber down to .22's, k? When I got one in my stomach, I kept my eyes on the guy's eyes, and tried to relax the situation, you know?
I don't think I've ever been called anything really derogatory, maybe "kid" or something like that. Where I work I don't think they would want you using curse words and stuff because the clients management are always around and we are trying to always be acting professional and shit.
A "jew". There's nothing wrong with being Jewish, I know, but the emotion and hate behind it was palpable. He was convinced I was trying to screw him out of money, when it was actually his own error that caused a billing anomaly.

Don't hate people for thinking the better of you.
"you know less than people who know less than one percent of what there is to know
about Finite Element Analysis."
that's what i was told by my boss & mentor. the program i was using (Aries) only
had wedge-shaped elements for a pressure vessel analysis. (Aries was a solid
modeller to use for pre & post-processing for analysis. pre-processing means
you build a mesh; post-processing refers to the pretty multi-colored output.
in that case, Aries used ANSYS to do the analysis.)
as it turned out, in ANSYS, the analysis would have been done using planar elements,
which represent wedge-shaped elements. i used a "pie-shape", like a 15% wedge,
with boundary conditions applied to suit a vacuum pressure vessel. it was for one of
Applied Materials' plasma etch quartz pressure vessels in 1989.
anyway, when my boss saw me doing the analysis the wrong way, he got a little
upset. the next day he delivered the "you know less ..." speech.
as it turned out, there was no way to do a pressure vessel analysis using planar
elements.
i just sat there and thought, "you're paying me $X a day to listen to this. i can handle that".
