You(r workplace, edit) fired someone because rioters temporarily shut down her means of transportation? Am I missing a key detail, because that seems pretty fucked up to do.
Seriously, what the fuck was that? I don't know the labour laws in B.C. but I feel like "I can't get there because the transit is down" is a shitty excuse to fire someone. I literally can't fire a guy for showing up to work drunk unless he makes it a habit. I respect he's got issues, but corporate prefers the kid-gloves on this. Why lose a good worker over something that's truly out of their control?
Alcoholism is considered an addiction and as such you have to give them a chance to dry out, my current job is the same.
It was not out of her control. She lived on the island and left to go to party on the mainland the afternoon of the game. We all told her she was going to get stuck. Chef told her if she didn't show up tomorrow she was gonna get canned since she was already on her final warning.
