I could not believe it when my company where I work (a law office) fired one of the other assistants the day before administrative assistants’ day! But when I found out what happened, I couldn’t totally blame them. See, the assistant (“Katie”) had taken a lot of sick days lately, and we all assumed she was faking because they were always on Fridays, but nobody could prove that she was faking, and besides what assistant has never lied and said they were sick when they needed a mental health day? Well, turned out the bosses were suspicious too. They looked at her calendar and the last couple of Fridays she had blocked off the whole day and written “Go to DC to visit boyfriend.” How could she be that stupid?! If you really need a calendar reminder to go visit your boyfriend, then what kind of relationship do you guys have anyway? Plus, the really stupid part was that it wasn’t even her computer calendar – it was the paper one on her desk. Duh.
