Sounds very american.

Yeah, it's not like that part of the story was condensed and might have left out a bunch of details that weren't important to the story. So let's give OP a hard time and make judgements about a situation for which we have not even the slightest bit of context.




Oh absolutely, you're right. I am saying that despite whatever may have happened, two weeks is very short. I feel like it would be at least a month here regardless.


It's not that the person didn't show up for two weeks, though; they showed up but refused to actually do any work.


For context, I was brought in with the knowledge he hadn't done anything meaningful since being hired some time before my arrival, and we did reach out and offer help or ask if he needed anything, which he refused, somewhat angrily.
