The criminal should not have done those illegal and harmful things.  But the business was stupid as Hell to mention her being fired right in front of her teen daughter, and as second-hand info, too.  Also, it's really, really rude as well as risky to fire people, lay them off or cut hours in the weeks leading up to Christmas.  Obviously this woman had attendance issues, but we are not hearing the whole story.  Perhaps she also has a rare blood disease requiring frequent hospitalizations which may have used up her FMLA.  Maybe her house burned down & she is staying in a shelter which has a curfew.  We don't know.  It would have been way more prudent to let her go after the New Year.  People are just stupid in the unnecessary risks they take, the risk of aggravated retaliation.  As for the criminal, well I can't imagine anyone but an addict doing stuff like that.  But I really don't know.

The Hall of Fame has one where Senda is called Falkie.  Does that mean "Falkie" is Senda's nickname?

He uses the handle Falkie or Falkenberg on message boards - often with a year appended as a suffix. On Bellgab he is Falkie2013

@Sofia, if that employee had attendance issues because of a rare medical condition or housing problem, etc, it is that person's responsibility to at least notify the employer so that other staff can be brought in to cover the shift. Let's face it, she didn't do that. Calling in and being responsible wouldn't have gotten that result.

OK, look past the horrible article writing. The guy may have a beard but he writes like he's in fifth grade, tops.

There's more to the story and she has been arrested. Not the first time, surprised?

”In an attempt to get what she wanted, Christmas grabbed the manager by the neck and began slamming her head into the wall while shouting, "You're not going to ruin my Christmas," as witnesses looked on in horror…”

There’s nothing like “the Christmas spirit.” Am I right, homie? Don’t ruin Christmas for Christmas!  :o ::) ;D  Eh, Christmas be cray cray!

One of my almost 10-year-old cats has a regular routine that involves daily doses of numerous medicines. Usually, he's very good about things. There is one dosage that he isn't comfortable with, but he makes himself available for. He actually jumps up onto a counter for that dosage...

Today he changed up his routine and walked away from the medicine that's mixed in with his food. Then he went to begging for another medicine. Since that last medicine is something he begs for many times a day, He needs to eat his other medicine first. It's cute to see this little mind try to figure out why I'm not giving him the treat he so courteously asks for.

I know his little brain is pretty much maxed out, him trying to figure out what's going on it's just so incredibly cute/fun/adorable. I am trying to reassure him without giving in to his breaking of routine.

Let's face it, she didn't do that. Calling in and being responsible wouldn't have gotten that result.
  I say that until evidence is provided, there were no attendance issues.  They just didn't like her.  Also, if evidence of attendance issues becomes available, I still say she called ahead of time responsibly unless there is evidence to the contrary.  I almost always believe in "innocent until proven guilty" even for shitheads like this horrible person.  They should not have fired her or anyone at Christmas time except for egregiousness, let alone someone whose name sake is "Christmas".  They should have given her a severance as a basic security precaution, too, especially if they knew she had bad character, as she does.  It's far better to lose 2 weeks' of payroll money than to face the wrath or retaliation.  If the severance included jewelry, it would have also been free advertising for them every time the dismissed employee wore it & received a compliment.

Oof
For the record, not all multi-cultural feminists believe in those vaccines.

People gotta be really careful with girls named Christmas, Devine, Heaven, Madonna, etc...  You're potentially dealing with seriously narcissistic children.

Yes, she has bad character.  However, I like the guy's matter-of-fact writing style.  But post-pandemic I am seeing more typos than ever, that's true.

Okay, so I've been trying to get at the bottom of this for years because, um, "Falkie" died.    .....right?
