Hmm... not exactly.

Had an issue at work a little bit ago where a group of staff members were deliberating excluding/bullying one of their peers. Eventually this lead to a rather heated confrontation on the floor with the staff member who had been allegedly bullied flipping out and causing a commotion on the floor.

The investigation showed that the group would often make fun of the staff member's weight, would move/hide their belongings, had a chat on work computers that said obscene things about him and deliberately made his life difficult. Ultimately, two were terminated and the others received final warnings.

Isn't the false equivalence not apparent?

Nah, this one was more in response to the statement that someone who goes to work and is involved in fights every time should be fired. Sometimes things arent as they appear.

Not necessarily comparing CM Punk/Elite. I'm sure people who have had/heard of similar things playing out in their own professions.

That's a fair assessment.

Yeah, anyone who has seen bullying or harassment in the workplace knows it’s not as simple as firing the target to rid the problem. You’re still left with the ugly instigators, and guess what? They’ll find a new target.

All anyone has to do is look back at around the time after the media scrum venting where that one article came out where just about any of the folks that went on the record with "I was wary about CM Punk because I had heard about his reputation... but then I actually talked to the guy and it wasn't as bad as all that, and he even gave me some sound career advice" or some complimentary variations thereof all ended up getting fucked with in some kind of way. Or the more recent thing where Okada said something to the effect of "I'd tell you about what I think about the guy, but The Bucks are my friends." Why should it matter if you want to say something nice about someone if that would make people who are supposedly your friends act different towards you?
