Getting your teeth into the job

Is it possible to stay in employment after a biting incident ?

There are precedents for Luis Suarez.  Former BBC DG Mark Thompson, for example.

Here's an extract from Antony Massey's version of the event.

"It was late summer or early autumn of 1988 when he [Thompson] was the newly appointed editor of the Nine O'Clock News, and I was a Home News Organiser. It was 9.15 in the morning, in the middle of the old sixth floor newsroom. 

"I went up to his desk to talk about some story after the 9.00 meeting we used to have then. I was standing next to him on his right, and he was sitting reading his horoscope in the Daily Star (I always remember that detail). 

"Before I could say a word he suddenly turned, snarled, and sank his teeth into my left upper arm (leaving marks through the shirt, but not drawing blood). It hurt. I pulled my arm out of his jaws, like a stick out of the jaws of a labrador."

I wonder if anyone forwarded the story to the Respect At Work review ?
