I can imagine that anyone with anxiety issues would like to work alongside Vince. He can only make their issues worse.

"...DID YOU SEE ANYTHING?"
"No sir! I didn't see you playing with your Hasbros again."
"GOOD!"

imagine if he would've sneezed

[Zombie Mod]

it's almost like Vince is crazy

Too right. He could have been banging anyone in there.

Well, given what we now know about what Vince was doing behind closed doors, I can see him being touchy about people knocking.

[msc]

Vince running a poisonous work atmosphere is not news.

But in general, I knock on doors in this home before opening, just out of common courtesy!

[Magnus the Magnificent]

If the door is closed, you f***ing knock and is given a 'Come in' before entering.
I don't care who you are, just barging in is disrespectful.
Now, threating to fire someone over it is too much, but still.
You knock first.

[Final Countdown Jones]

According to the story, Vince told the writer to fix up a promo and come back to him. Knocking is good, but I can also see when you've been told to come back how someone might think "Oh yeah I'll just go in, I've been asked to come back".

This might be the least crazy Vince story. Of course, firing someone over it is a bit crazy, but getting upset over someone walking in without knocking is pretty typical behavior.

It literally takes an extra second to knock and maybe 2-3 seconds for someone to say “come in”

Oh I agree about knocking but firing someone is extreme.

[Natural Born Farmer]

Firing would be an extreme measure, but entering someone's office without knocking is pretty unprofessional.

When I was in middle management at a rental car company, if I had the door to my office closed it usually meant I was on a call or in a meeting.  If someone had walked in in the middle of that I'd be pissed too.

[Banjo Is Broken]

To be fair, Vince was furiously masturbating to old pictures of the WBF he has on his laptop.

Yeah, always knock. My boss has basically one full wall of glass in his office so I can see if he’s busy or not and I still knock every time I have to enter. It’s just proper manners

[BorneAgain]

They say one employee forgot to knock, sneezed, and grabbed Vince's arm over the course of a single day.

They are now missing and presumed dead.

[Push R Truth]

I've almost fired somebody for coming into my office without knocking. I was in a meeting where we were discussing a work comp issue with a lawyer. The door was closed for a god damn reason. An employee that doesn't understand the importance of private work conversations is it's own hazard.

I'm sorry this is a non issue. Besides, we've all "almost done" a lot of shit in the heat of a moment. Human's are impulsive. The key word is "almost". I didn't fire the employee. I'm a believer of the Spiderman Method of management (everybody gets one). Believe it or not, there isn't always sex/drugs/Arby's behind every bosses' closed door at all times. It's normally just shit you don't or shouldn't need to hear.

[IgnahtaSempria]

The more stories I hear about Vince, the more I start to believe that he has some undiagnosed form of OCD.
