Summary

“Going Postal”, in slang terms has become synonymous with an anger management problem or, in real minimization over the years, a version of “flying off the handle.” The REAL story has much more grim origins. The docs cover the first such case in depth, and then discuss a long history of increasing work pressures, toxic work sites and how pushing workers to the edge can have dire consequences, as well as the government and workplace safety responses to this tragic phenomenon.
