• basing that decision on the fact that the workers’ compensation statute did not bar claims of mental distress independent of physical injury
• noting precedent from this district predating Perodeau holding that a “claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress arises only in the context of a termination”
• “A defendant does not owe a duty of care to protect a plaintiff from another employee’s tortious acts un less the defendant knew or reasonably should have known of the employee’s propensity to engage in that type of tortious conduct.”
