I think you're misunderstanding my "4 days" comment.
She came in on a Thursday, and gave a notice saying she needed two weeks off starting on the Monday. Thursday and Monday are 4 days apart, it otherwise is not relevant to my point.
You think she was fired FOR her mental health issue, I don't. I theorised that maybe her needing time off (regardless of the reason) was a catalyst for the firing. That they had already intended to do so, and that her needing the time off would've been the push forward to make it happen then. It would no different to me if she called in, needed time off for surgery, to heal a broken bone, etc. My statement had literally nothing to do with the
reason for two weeks leave, but that the very requirement of
leave itself could have accelerated her firing.
The reason is irrelevant. I could simply see an employer look at an employee who they were going to fire anyway, get notice that they're going to be gone for two weeks (paid) and say "let's do it now." If I'm firing someone, I don't want them taking two paid weeks off so that they can come back and get another 3 weeks severance when I fire them.
