I haven't seen this mentioned in comments before: we really need the other guy's POV in this. The most common scenarios in which you'd fire somebody for failing to show up at work is if: - you want to fire them anyways and are just looking for an excuse - there are recurring issues and this is just the last drop in a bucket - in which case the firing incident could very well be relatively trivial > I am the single mother who was the top of my class in training for you Jeremy It does not make financial sense for a company to fire a top employee for missing a day, evil or not.
