CALEDONIA, Mich. (AP) -- A woman who took an unpaid leave of absence from work to see her husband off to war has been fired after failing to show up for her part-time receptionist job the day following his departure.
"It was a shock," said Suzette Boler, a 40-year-old mother of three and grandmother of three. "I was hurt. I felt abandoned by people I thought cared for me. I sat down on the floor and cried for probably two hours."
Officials at her former workplace, Benefit Management Administrators Inc., confirmed that Boler was dismissed when she didn't report to work the day after she said goodbye to her husband of 22 years.

If this is the sole reason she was fired, this outfit is despicable and deserves to lose business over this. The article goes on to say there were other factors involved in their decision. But companies always say that and the timing of this action was incredibly poor.
Benefit Management Administrators Inc. is the name of the company, got a contract with them? Don't renew it.

Attessa and ptg,
Thanks for visiting.
Gindy,
Who knows? If there were other issues, there would have been ample opportunities to fire her later. I think the timing was bad, more than anything.
It is a shame when employers forget that thier employees are human and have a personal life and that your family is supposed to come before your job.
