Since we’re all conditioned by our own biases of what is “normal,” misunderstandings can easily arise between colleagues.

In September, New York enacted a law designed to protect retail workers from violence on the job. The Retail Worker Safety Act requires companies with 10 or more employees to adopt a clear workplace violence prevention policy, as well as a training program and even a panic button system in large workplaces.

However, after a federal judge blocked Spirit’s acquisition by JetBlue in January , those reassurances began to unravel, sending the low-cost carrier into a steady downward spiral. Had the deal gone through, JetBlue would have become the fifth-largest airline in the U.S. and could have jump-started Spirit’s recovery from its massive debt much sooner.
