        FYI - I have a business with one employee - an admin. Her son had medical issues at boot camp. She took a week off to deal with it. I hired a temp and also paid my admin’s salary for the week. Never considered any other option.

        Her son was on life support! Even if she was the worst employee ever, you don’t fire her when her son is on life support. What’s wrong with you??

        The manager shouldn’t have said it was drama and she didn’t need to miss work even with her son on life support. I’ve missed work and had to text my manager and say I couldn’t come in because I was hospitalized with no date of being released. All they asked me for was for proof

        If she was by her sons side, that may have been difficult. The manager shouldn’t have said in the other messages that the company doesn’t need drama and she does not have a reason to miss work. That’s very heartless. I can see why the manager is no longer with the company

        Still could have been handled that way. Manager was wrong as well but we are responsible for ourselves

        If that was me in that mothers position, that’s the last thing I would be thinking about if my son was on life support. If your child could die at ANY moment, why would she leave to get paper work filled out? Her texting her boss is better than not saying anything.

        It is better than nothing. The boss should have said she’d bring her the papers.
