Everything was fine until cooperate basically sent an email to him stating that if he wasn’t back after x amount of time he would be terminated. Well, that day came he got fired. All of my co workers were understandably upset including me. I don’t understand how he was just supposed to be up and ready to work by said time? Like his ankle would magically just heal itself by the time the deadline rolled around. This situation took place almost a month ago but I still think about how ridiculous it all was.
