What I'm saying isn't a question of security system malfunctioning, but there was no security system at all. It's not that the alarm was disabled or broken, there was no alarm at all. In your example not only could your employer be liable under OSHA for not protecting you from workplace violence, but the building owner could be liable as well for premises liability, like if other people had been mugged (or other crime) in the same building but neither your employer nor the building owner did anything to protect the employees from [workplace] violence that was known to happen there. Employees - like Missy or anyone else - are not supposed to be subjected to workplace violence. BTW employers also do things like falsely labeling employees as "independent contractors" to illegally lower their expenses and to discourage them from bringing legitimate lawsuits, which you may have been falsely labeled that and had to pay taxes that should instead have been paid by your employer where you got effectively cheated out of your pay by forcing more taxes on you.
