I work with two individuals who have been known to have violent outbursts at work. One of the two is very unstable and we believe that he is schizophrenic (he is homeless so he doesn't have a doctor). This individual has recently started stashing his clothes in the lockers that we have in the back of the store. I alerted my manager to this practice when it became obvious that he is storing drugs in his locker and is using in the store. Furthermore it is likely a health code violation (we work in food service), as you you are able to smell whatever clothes of his may be in the locker at the time.
I opened the locker in front of my manager to alert him to what was going on, and the very next day I got sold out to my co-worker by the same manager. I saw him last night when I stopped into work and he immediately began screaming at me, threatening that he will break into my car, saying that I'll "be sorry" and that he's "coming for me". Unfortunately, if I call out to avoid the situation all together by calling out (what I consider to be the smartest and safest option), I'll likely be fired. With that information in mind, what would people do in this situation?
