Reply #18: The time for them to clarify [View All]

[jbnow]

was when she said she'd try to be back the 17th, not that she would.

Boler recalled being asked, not ordered, to start back at her job Oct. 17, the day after her husband left. She told her bosses that she would try to return that day but if she could not, she would definitely be back Oct. 18, she said.

If that is what happened and she thought she had that permission perhaps it is scummy to call her scum.

For myself if I had that week and saw my husband off to war and then drove home, I'd want another day to get myself together. (Crying at work can be frowned on.)
She wasn't paid for the time off, thought she had their permission.

We don't know what the "other issues" were...no one here knows enough to call her "opportunist scum" or accuse her of "egotistical idiocy"
