Given the circumstances, if he was disciplined for job abandonment that would have most likely gotten out to the media one way or another.

That extension letter is expired and may not have even been renewed for all we know. But let's assume it was, it still clearly indicates that the employee has the right to go after 12 hours. We don't know any of the details about what his motives were to leave so again I don't think it is fair to make a judgement on his actions, even if he just didn't want to work more than 12 hours, it's his choice and CT should be more than accommodating in allowing him to exercise that right.
