Yes. Exactly.
The lack of compassion and logic here sometimes is stunning.
No matter the family situation, the fact is that a woman was in crisis, with symptoms that are associated with a baby dying. That was the only thing that mattered at that moment in time.
I really do wish the boss would be charged with something big that would see him in Graybar Hotel for a few years.
The miscarriage was probably going to happen in any case. The boss not letting her leave when she wanted to was probably not helpful as stress never is but she did leave shortly after, without permission, when her doctor confirmed that she should to do so.
What the suing was about was that reasonable accommodations were not being made for her condition and they fired her for leaving.
The boss was a she, besides that your post is spot on.
