So full lack of professionalism is still a ground for termination. Nothing to see here. Headline is clickbait.

Spontaneous burst of anger is a small incident. Multiple small incidents can still establish a pattern of lacking professionalism.

My hopes were nearly up for a second.

The amount of choleric bosses i met, it depends .. if your boss regularly throws things after people insulting him is okay.
