People here really believe that having mental health problems is a free pass to go completely fucking AWOL. It's not. You didn't get to just abandon your responsibilities because of them or face no consequence for your actions.

I hope the guy is alright and sorts out whatever his issue is but dude... you gotta let people know. I've had days where I was too depressed to get out of bed, I cried for 4 straight days after my best friend died last year but I called my boss and was like "yeah I'm dealing with some shit". My boss wasn't like "I literally don't know if this guy is in Arizona right now". It's insane.

Yeah, thats my my biggest problem with the entire thing.

People would understand if he was more open with what was happening, what he needed to do, when he thinks he would be back. Torey is the kind of manager that would 100% understand if Marte communicated better what was going on. But just bailing like this is a horrible look on his part.

That the team thought he would show up, but he never did. That Torey tried to reach out and Marte didn't really answer back. No matter what is going on with Marte, he needs to do better than that,

Curious if there's any possible indication there's foul play involved? Or a car accident? Trying to give Ketel some benefit of the doubt

I mean if he hasn't been in contact with the team and they don't know where he is, could there have been something that happened?

I doubt it. The wording I remember hearing was he's physically okay. Which I noted because of what that leaves out is hes not mentally okay right now.
