What has made you Angry Today???????

Apart from it being unacceptable behavior it appears 'acceptable ' in the eyes of your boss. I would head to the doctor and get a certificate and assessment for delayed concussion, lodge it with Workcover as a claim for injury. Not possible to ignore it then, understanding the potential for retaliation of course, so would need to be handled delicately and diplomatically.

I had a physical altercation with a work colleague yesterday where I was had butted in an attempt to get a physical response from me. I reported it to my manager but it seems it has been swept under the rug and business as usual.

I'm very frustrated that nothing has been done and I have to keep working with this clown without so much as an apology.

I agree and I will probably be doing this this afternoon. The problem is I love my job, I like most of the people I work with and I have alot riding in this job (ie the ability to service a home loan)

I want to give my manager some time to start doing something about this. It's a real shit situation to be in tbh.

That is shit mate, Your Boss has a legal responsibility to act and intervene. It is not unreasonable that you approach your Boss a day later and ask him what he intends to do. You are well within your rights to ask him his strategy. If he doesnt have a Conflict Resolution policy, he should. You can certainly rely on the one published by Workcover.

You dont need to have suffered a physical Injury to engage workcover mate. Your Boss really does need to deal with it. If you wait too long he is just as likely to say "Seriously! that was days ago! have you not got over it yet?"

I understand you have a good relationship wiht your boss, tell him you need this sorted out. Your job is not on the line but the other guy's should be.

That's terrible mate.

Along with what others have said, you may even be able to see your Doctor and see if you can get some time off for stress / mental health reasons which can also be used in your favour with Workcover etc. I don't know alot about this stuff, but I do understand that there are others you can go to if your Boss isn't interested in handling it.

Sounds like workplace bullying and abuse.

Good luck mate

So I ended up going to the docs this Arvo, she told me I should definitely go to the police and make a statement. She also gave me the rest of the week off.

I went to the police and spoke to a Constable on duty. She told me if I made a statement he would be charged. I was reluctant to do this as everyone makes mistakes and I wanted to believe that my colleague would move past his grudge and see reason. So no statement made.

This evening i spoke to a another work mate who was also witness to the assault. He told me the guy that attacked me had rung him, asking him not to make an incident report, that I was gunning for his job and that he would just deal with after work one day...

I'll be off the the police to make that statement in the morning. This guy is a fucking moron.

Thanks for the support guys, it's much appreciated.

Mate go your boss and yes do a police report let workcover bend your boss over the office desk for the rest , don't ever think your boss will look after you if you did nothing wrong it doesn't work that way in reality.
Think restraining order and complaint for assault your boss will need three nappies .
