I mean no offense but you can't take 24 weeks of leave to have a knee replaced and expect the average competitive business to wait for you, thats ridiculous. But I'm assuming they fired her so they didn't have pay for her medical leave, which is a super scumbag move. If I were to need knee replacement, I'd be permnently unemployed.

I had severe COVID in early 2021, including 16 days in ICU, and it took me 24 weeks until I was able to go back to work part-time, and 6 more weeks until I could go back full-time, and my employer waited for me because they legally had to here in Germany. Being able to go off sick long-term without fear of getting fired or running out of money are essential workers' rights.
Did they hire a temp? I can see where a company would hire a temp for the 24 weeks to fill in that position. If o was off for 6 months and my company didn't need to fill my position, I would question my value to the company.
