I couldn't agree more, Stumpy. Well put.

How can your T expect you to be more accountable at your place of employment, than she at hers? If you didn't show up to ring up those "crappy toys" -- and then didn't answer Toys R Us' calls for 10 days-- would you expect to still have a job when you got back?

As Skyblue asks, did she have something else substantial going on for those 1o days? Perhaps not a coma per se, but something close? If there is a more reasonable excuse (which she obviously did not share in her e-mail) and she chooses to take full responsibility for her actions in your next conversation, perhaps you will choose to work through it. But, from what was shared in this thread so far... she just doesn't seem very responsible or trustworthy. I'd be concerned that she would go missing for another 10 days and think it was "no big deal." Oops, just a little mistake! No need to call! After all, if there are no consequences for one's actions, what is to stop one from repeating them? Don't they teach that in therapy, too?

Whatever you decide, we're here to support you! (and we don't collectively disappear for 10 days at a time!)
