Interesting.

Whose sword ?
Perhaps Yokata was swinging it around Samurai style and accidentally slashed the Boss !
Simply, not enough information here.

Looks like his Christmas bonus is going to be slightly less than he expects.

Don’t use fingers against samarai swords. A chair and fast Nike shoes is much better!

That has all the halmarks of a Yak beef. I simply cannot fathom the average disgruntled goober having a Katana in this day and age.
In the early 90s when I was young and living in Kyushu, yes (and even then the guys with swords tended to be a bit "yak-ish").
Today, no how, no way.
