lol there's no way the poster actually fired anyone. If there's one thing I've learned its that most business don't like to fire people, its too expensive. They just talk a big game, do write-ups and generally try to use passive-aggression to present an air of "you're on thin ice!" Odds are, if your employer needs you THAT badly to work your shifts, they're not gonna want to train an all new person to replace you.
The company I work for decided one day that we absolutely had to use a script when talking to customers. I don't, I just ignored them because we didn't used to have to have a script so why is it suddenly requirement now.
Every time they hear you not using the script they write you up, which essentially just amounts to them writing down this person is not doing what I want. Signing it and making you sign it as if that's some kind of contract you've entered into and then nothing happens.
He didn't have to "fire" him, if they were scheduled and didn't show up repeatedly, it would be considered voluntary quitting.
In right to work states 3 consecutive days of no show no call is legally considered job abandonment and therefore you "quit" without notice. So in the case of a workplace choosing to ignore someone's clearly communicated vacation it makes it very easy to book them as having "quit"
