Prob aren't getting severance nor unemployment if you get fired for 2 weeks of no-call-no-show.

Severance, you're right. Unemployment is likely still on the table depending on the state. In Texas, the person can file for unemployment. The company can challenge saying they were a no show but the employee can argue that it isn't true. It is just easier to allow unemployment to just cover it.

EDIT: I once had a guy work for two week as a 1099 and he still filed for unemployment. That got denied because he was never an actual employee, but had we not noticed the claim in the mail, he would have gotten paid.

I used to work in HR. Can confirm that some managers will just pay out bullshit claims because it would be expensive to litigate.

I know someone working in HR. Can confirm that other managers will litigate just to be petty because it's not their own money they're spending.

"Likely" is a huge stretch. "Possible" I could buy in some states.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

It isn't a stretch. I can't speak to other states but in Texas, it is almost guaranteed. I had added an edit to my previous comment. The fact that it was approved before we submitted our objection tells you enough.
