Can you hold someone responsible for your failure if this happens?
Let's say that you're working in New York, and your Family and Home is in California. One day you receive a call from a loved one that a family member is dying. You immediately confront your boss and ask to take some time off but he declines your request.
A few days later, your family member passes away, and you miss their funeral as well. You then fall into a very deep depression and your productivity has sharply declined at both work and home. You arrive to work late on a daily basis, you constantly take time away to sit in your car and cry to yourself, you have a bad attitude with your peers and you're becoming very unorganized and unmotivated.Your boss then calls you in and makes the decision to let you go.
Can you hold someone responsible for your failure if they refuse to give you the chance to fix your problems? Or is it your fault because you had the power to leave but chose not to because you're afraid of jeopardizing your job?
