Coworker constantly chastises colleague for minor mistakes, abandons night shift 2 hours in after blowing up: 'You better stop talking before it gets much worse, I don't even care if we have to call the police'

Nobody likes to be constantly criticized. It's our job as coworkers, bosses, and friends to keep our scolding to a minimum. We're not their parents, and there is always a nicer way to say something. This is especially true at work. Maybe you're training someone, or you're supervising, and it's your job to make sure they're doing their tasks correctly. There is a way to go about this to make sure everyone is on an even keel. This means being careful with your words and not blowing up at each other. It's pretty simple.

But that's not easy for some folks to do. Some people just can't keep their tempers under control, even at work. They will take out their insecurities and frustrations on innocent bystanders, and they will lose it if you ever try to confront them. That's what happened in this story, where a pair of coworkers got into an argument about something insignificant, and then it escalated to a point where one of them abandoned ship. This is something you should never do to your coworkers, but that didn't stop him.
