If you live near Caledonia, Michigan and have a job available, please consider offering it to Ms. Suzette Boler, who just got royally screwed by her coldhearted employer.
Suzette Boler, of Caledonia, returned home that Sunday night and prepared the next day to return to her receptionist job at a small Caledonia employee benefits firm. She had taken four unpaid days off to see her husband of 22 years off to war.
Late Monday afternoon, Boler, 40, answered the phone. She was told to come in the next day and pick up her things.
She was fired.
So the coldhearted employer had this to say in it’s defense:
“We gave her sufficient time to get back to work,” said Clark Galloway, vice president of operations for Benefit Management.
“We are totally supportive of our troops and anything that is necessary to equip them and to encourage them as a company.”
Yes, this is a private matter, and yes, we don’t know the whole story. The employer says it won’t reveal Ms. Boler’s personnel file even though she has authorized its release in writing. Ms. Boler’s prior employment was in truck stop management, where she worked her way up from wait staff; she was well regarded there prior to her departure to Benefit Management Administrators Inc. She was fired from her $9 an hour, part time job to say goodbye to her husband who very well may not return from Iraq. This is really unbelievable treatment, this person who has a right to be out of sorts, faced with the endangerment and potential loss of her spouse. Read the whole article, make up your own mind, are these guys assholes or what?
