does fighting lead to something good?

Do fighting really lead to something good?

Sometimes I do think it does.  Last monday, me and my supervisor ended up into a heated arguement with our clients chargehand.  It was so intense that my supervisor cursed and challenged this chargehand to a fight. Well, I being their senior, tried to calm things down.  But instead of the two fighting, what transpired was I was the one who threw the punch. Against the chargehand ofcourse.

This chargehand was trying to meddle with our work and was trying to be the boss in the area.  This attitude I did not like at all.  That's why, instead of me being the middleman, I ended up to be the fighter.

After the incident, I thought that would be it for me.  I was already thinking what to do once they sent me home. It was lunch time when our client's planning engineer called me up to explain what happened.  And after I narrated my side of the story, he then sent me to the construction manager, a Palestine.

There he again asked what happened and how was our work going to.  So I again explained to him that the trouble was with their people.  I was just surprised because, instead of me getting fired, I was given full control of the work.  He even called his people and said that they should not interfere with my work.

It's been 2 days now and still no word about any report on that incident.  Well I guess everybody hated that chargehand anyways that's why no one even cared to file any report. I guess I must have been very lucky.
