Was this a game of kabaddi by any chance?

They'll do it as an online course and nobody will do it because they keep getting emails to their personal emails every Sunday :Very Happy

I wish we were allowed to carry mace or maybe a mini tazer 😁

As someone points out on twit, why didn’t the person filming put down their phone and intervene? It’s such a weird phenomena that people will film and not act.

Your getting them too :chuckle :chuckle ive sent an email to head office to stop spamming my personal email address as it is causing distress and if they carry on persisting i will apply for an injunction on them,if they want to correspond with me they either speak to me personally or through a work email address, If they persist after you have asked them not too then you can ask them to remove your email address from their system and any more after that then they will be breaking the law. Im surprised the union haven't intervened on this ,but on saying that they haven't got a good track record seen as they had their own data breach which we never found out whose details were leaked which again breaks the law, so it seems these lot do what they want,or if you cant be bothered with all that just add them to your spam folder.

Yes I get one every Sunday. Not once has management mentioned it when I'm actually in work. So as I'm still untrained if I accidentally harass someone I'll be let off. (Possibly :evil/mad)

I guess that depends who was filming it, if it was a girl/woman or a young lad I'm not sure they'd be wise to approach that nutter? It looks like most people around just watched rather than intervened.
