My wife has worked as a behavior therapist for a local school system for the last decade. Almost never takes a personal time or sick days (she doesn't get sick. Essential oils or some other witchcraft}
Pretty crap job too with having to deal with the worst of the kids in high school, spitting, hitting, throwing desks, ... and all the verbal stuff. She's trained in personal restraining and she can hold herself.
Every year she puts in for a week of vacation time so we can get a break from the long cold New England winter.
In October she put in her request for a week in Feb, same as every year. This time they asked her where she was going.
Jamaica. ... the school superintendent denied her request in a letter stating that Jamaica was too high risk for covid.
So we changed our vacation destination to St.Lucia.
2nd request denied stating covid risks due to travel. On that same day she was denied, she was bitten by a student and had to rip his head off of her. She was furious.
She took 4 personal days and we went anyway. We followed all Massachusetts travel guidelines getting our negative covid test results before leaving, and getting our covid test at the resort to have our negative results for returning home.
She went back to work for 2 weeks and then was given her termination letter stating "insubordination" due to the fact that she took time off / traveled.
She's so mad that he would do this to her. No consideration for her work ethic, reliability, and the stellar job she's done for the 10 years that she's worked there. Her co-workers are screwed. There is no one to fill her position (they've already been trying to hire another at that position) and they'll be left having to deal with the mess.
She was given 2 weeks notice and has already had a job offer for a private in-home company so money isn't the issue.
Just the fact that someone that doesn't know her .... or even knows what she does, can cut the cord like that because he was butt hurt she took a vacation after he said no.
My wife has to start over somewhere else, the kids that she serviced will suffer, the teachers and assistants will suffer, ... and the rest of the kids in the classroom when the troubled ones act up and no one is there to correct it ... not because we took a vacation ... but because we took a vacation during covid. Regardless of the fact we were returning with negative test results.
