Spotting the crazy
Determining who is going to go crazy at work and start shooting people is almost impossible. And policies are unlikely to stop them.
Via Sebastian, who notes: I’m glad workplace consultants are recognizing this.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

An old Asimov or Bradbury (IIRC) story about nuclear power had a plot wherein the stress of manning the controls for the nuke pile was so intense that all operators were constantly monitored by a psychiatrist/supervisor.
