I'm sure it would be but I've never heard of that happening. I once went to my manager saying I was worried about burning out bc of pushing so hard on a project with a legal deadline. Asked him to consider/look into options for me to take a month off unpaid at the end of it. He said he'd talk to leadership about it and get back to me. I got fired the next day.

This is where I would have lawyered up. I don't know where this happened to you, but over in Europe I'm pretty sure this is illegal and I'd be gunning for some sweet, sweet money.

  Unless they're in a legally protected class or live in Montana, his or her employer can fire them for whatever reason they want (and the employee can leave for whatever reason they want as well).

    Do try to remember that there are other countries than the USA.

      I know that. But this happened in the US, if I remember, where getting let go for just about any reason is legal.
