Here’s What I did When An Employee Didn’t Show Up For Work! 

If a person was held at gun point or died you forgive them for missing day at work. Such a valuable insight.

Thanks for the reminder to slow down, ask questions, listen, and when applicable show grace…..just good advice for life!! 💙

I knew a very nice girl who lost her job to circumstances well beyond her control similar to this example. She was on vacation and flew to her home country in Africa. While she was their a revolution broke out and the rebels seized the airport for 4 weeks. By the time she was able to get back the company had already fired her and refused to take her back. It was a real shame too. She was a good employee. The company was not the best. To give some context, this company actually made a profit off their employee by hosting an employee Christmas party.

For me, it depends on a case-to-case basis. If it's a good employee and this is the first time happening, I would ask the employee what happened and probably let it slide. However, I would let them know that the next time it happens for whatever reason, they will get a warning, and the third time it happens, they will get fired.

I worked in a toxic environment and they hired someone that they fired and several years later they rehired them. I was let go and the little time away does give me perspective. I think if I had that break from work I would have realized a lot more.

People are so easy to jump to conclusions. In this case I’d be afraid that “Jenny” might not show up for work again because she might be dead- her crazy boyfriend.

Good.

It's not getting back to you. You got manipulated. You'll realize when she does it again with a different far fetched story. PS never been to a Sonic but your commercials make me want to try it!!
