      My employee kept trying to take time off to attend his brothers wedding. Mom and I were distraught for months. We were his family now, and our only work son would betray us like this?

            That won’t do. Everyone knows gods protect fools, and madness is practically a subset of traditional divinity. Lumping these people in with insane idiots is very disrespectful.

            I think it’s already called a Straw Man.

            Someone fake that people will attack and ridicule. And then, when pointed out that it’s fake, people will backtrack and say silly things like “there are people actually this stupid and crazy” without an oz of awareness that nearly all their examples of others acting like that are, also, straw men.

              Idk that may work for retail, or corporate if you’re unemployed. Otherwise I’d suspect something is off with the company/job if they’re asking me to stay in Monday. Even if you’re not giving a two week notice, it’s usually easier for everyone to set a date, and the 1st day or the 15th works better for payroll.

          Generally yes. There are some financial remedies possible in this sort of case if the employee did anything reasonable for the new job. Like, if they quit an old job they wouldn’t otherwise have or moved, they would have a potential case, since there was no actual reason they were immediately fired. If they didn’t already have a job and didn’t move, they’d probably be SOL unless they live in like California.

          No this is what he DID. What you said is what he DIDN’T do. If a judge asked what did the employee do. He would have to confess that the guy showed up early for work. He didn’t actively DO anything to get fired.That’s my point.

      Because if they came early it means that they not busy enough in their own life.

        Not that this actually happened of course, but if somebody genuinely worked like that, you wouldn’t want to work for them.
