Call in sick. In a related story


On Dec 15, one of my employees came into my office first thing in the morning to announce she had gotten some paperwork she'd been waiting for from the Social Security office. Based on what she got, she was going to go ahead and retire at the end of 2020. OK.

The plant is shut down from Dec 24 - Jan 3.

She already had in a preapproved vacation for the 17th - 23rd.

So basically, she was telling me she was retiring the next day.

Except the next day, it snowed and she called out. Never saw her again.

On the one hand, seems kinda rude. On the other, I've never been a matter of hours away from retiring before. So maybe one has a slightly different attitude about the world when that time comes.
