....way back when I was still employed, I had a (PA) consultant foisted on me (by those who should have known better). Frankly, he was less than useless, a real slacker, but rather full of himself.
One day, he started a buzzword laden monologue with one of the guys who was working for me, who was doing all the real work. He was relatively senior, very capable, quite large, and one of the most mild-mannered and self-controlled individuals I'd ever worked with.
Without uttering a word, he picked said consultant up by his tie, slammed him against the wall (feet off the ground) and then laid into him verbally like there was no tomorrow.
It was most unexpected, and almost as disturbing as it was amusing!
(I had great difficulty keeping a straight face when I told him off afterwards - and the consultant didn't last the week out).
