From Associated Press:

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.

"We gave her sufficient time to get back to work," Clark Galloway, vice president of operations for Benefit Management, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story published Wednesday.

Can you blame Mr. Galloway? His company "sacrificed" by allowing her "sufficient time to get back to work." We should not ask him or his company to carry such a tremendous "burden."

What a crappy boss.

Poor woman.

That company is probably getting so much bad press. Good.

I think we should all e mail this guy telling him what a sorry loser he is for doing this to her.
