This is what most places I've been at did even when I was the newbie in the OP

"Oh, you helped us with some basic IT knowledge and can do even more for us later if we keep you and don't treat you like shit? How about I get 6in or less from your face and scream so loudly that your ears ring a little when I'm done?"

That's assault. Record that next time and get yourself a settlement.

So I actually reached out to a lawyer with a couple other employees over this guy and his wife (they also illegally evicted a couple of people and did some other shit) and the guy worked with us for like a month before disappearing from the face of the earth

If I wasn't so busy going to job interviews that never call me back I might have time to find a new lawyer for this but as for now it's on the backburner

I would punch that person in the face, justifiably.

I'm 6'4" and this dude was taller and bigger than me + ex-hockey and still regularly coached and taught said sport

As much as he would have deserved it, I'm 100% certain I'd have lost that fight

I instead quit on the spot and reported that place to corporate (who straight up told me I was the one in the wrong) as well as OSHA and a few others for various reasons like not having ladders on their docks despite 3 different people falling in and nearly drowning in 1 month

I see, I see. Weird, the biggest guys are often gentle. Understandable to not retaliate, but totally right to report them.
