Problem 1: An argument broke out between a manager and one of his employees; HR was asked to investigate. After interviewing both the employee and the manager, the HR director overheard the employee saying, "I wish this were the olden days. I'd take this argument out in the street and solve it without anyone's help." Because Clearwater Electronics has a zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence, with prominent signage in a number of visible locations in the plant, the employee was immediately terminated. Why did this incident of workplace violence occur?

Option 1: The incident came from the manager imposing an unsolvable problem on the employee.
Option 2: The incident happened due to a lack of legal authority to enforce workplace violence policies.
Option 3: The incident stemmed from ineffective problem-solving on the part of the employee.
Option 4: The incident occurred due to ineffective monitoring of the workplace environment by HR.
