One of my operators hasn't showed up to work for the past couple days.
Sick leave for child, sick leave for self, car trouble, then NC/NS.
After three times, my boss wanted to term him.
I've walked in to someone dead, I don't want that shit happening to anyone else. My boss is pretty red blooded “these kids don't want to work, they're all soft” etc, but I harped and asked him to do it.
He actually relented and texted his gf, then asked HR to do a more formal investigation.
Hopefully he's fine, I haven't heard one way or the other yet, but in my small locus of control, where I do NOT affect anyone's life for the better, I genuinely felt good about this one, for better or for worse.
At the very least, I tried.
Also sorry for posting erroneously, I don't post often so I didn't see anywhere to put the text originally. Forgive me.
