An officer at the Tax Agency in southern Sweden has been fired after being violent and threatening on two occasions, reports the news agency Siren.
Among other things, she is said to have pushed her boss into the wall, shouted that she wished that he and his family became seriously ill and called him a Satanist.
The second incident ended with her having to be picked up by the police at the workplace.
A female caseworker at the Swedish Tax Agency has been dismissed after two violent and threatening incidents at the workplace, reports the Siren news agency.
The woman had applied for flexible leave in December last year, but was refused. When she was called to the manager’s office, the situation quickly escalated.
She is said to have then shouted that those who decided it “will be remembered as bad managers and that she wishes that the managers and their families suffer from diseases”, according to the home letter from the department.
When asked to calm down and leave the office, she refused. Instead, the manager left – but the woman followed. She tore a piece of paper from the manager’s hand, put part of it in her trouser pocket and shoved the manager in the chest.
Pushed the boss into the wall
“When the manager asked XX to return the parts, she moved closer to him and he perceived her as very aggressive. XX held her right fist up about 30 centimeters from the manager’s face and then pushed him in the chest with both hands so that he fell against the wall about a meters behind him”.
Six months later, the woman again behaved threateningly. She had previously been informed that her behavior was unacceptable and that there would be consequences if it was repeated.
Describes himself as a “calm person”
This time she was denied moving her leave. She claimed that she had already booked a plane ticket and believed that the authority would cover the cost. According to the managers, she must have become so upset that it was not possible to continue the meeting. Then she allegedly called them “Satanists and the devil”.
When the manager asked her to stop, she was told: “I could kill you”.
The woman was finally picked up by the police at the workplace and has now been dismissed.
The managers also believe that on several occasions she underperformed at work and misreported her working hours.
The woman describes herself as a “calm person” and claims that she was bullied by management.
