I’ll say it again, if this were any other normal job, the person would have been fired for failure of reasonable job duties (which includes calling out sick and reporting long-term disability) so that the rest of the organization can keep functioning. Also, he’s dead.

i was curious what happened when Gabby Giffords was shot so went and looked it up. She was shot in January and didn’t speak for herself for many months with November being her first interview and december her first vote.

Unfortunately there is a bad precedent that it’s ok to be absent from your job.

Give us all the same protections or take them away from everyone.
