Smith. Smith has been on edge the last few months. He is a loner, does not get
along with his peers or supervisor, and his performance is lacking. There are
rumors that Smith has had a history of violent behavior but none appeared on
his background investigation for employment with ABC. He is also known to have
firearms. Management is considering terminating Smith for performance
deficiencies and that, along with the pressures of the business unit closing,

from me”. Security escorts him from the building and deactivates his access
control badge.What does your team do with the information concerning
