Imagine showing up late once, and getting fired for it over a week later

I didn't think I would find myself defending a story on LinkedIn, but that's not at all what is in the story.

I didn't think I'd find myself walking through my interpretation of a story on LinkedIn, but here we are

She told me the week before that I had no empathy

We know the employee has worked there for at least a week.

I knew from the first day she wasn't right.

She turned up late. No message. No apology. That tiny red flag that I tried to overlook because I wanted to give her a chance.

It's possible Nicky means the first day after being told she has no empathy, but the talk about wanting to give the employee a chance tells me that it's referring to that employee's first day on the job, which we know was over a week ago.

Given a lack of any other details about the employee's various wrongdoings, I'm led to believe that being late was the most egregious thing she did. Ergo, fired for being late over a week ago.

You are free to engage in a discussion if you disagree with my interpretation

The OP is stating that she knew from the employee's first day, they were not right for the job, because the employee was late on their first day without any notice or head's up.

There is nothing in the post to indicate how long the employee has been working there, nor what incident led to the being fired.

Again, "she told me the week before that I had no empathy." I suppose it's possible that this employee said that before they were hired, but it really seems to indicate to me that she's worked that for at least a week. Maybe as little as 4 days, if she said it Friday and was sacked Monday.

I'm confused what you're confused about. Why are the only options in mind: "the fired employee said this on the first day they arrived a week ago," or "they said it before they were hired"?

Instead of the much more likely: "they said it a week ago and were hired multiple weeks/months/years ago"?

Those aren't the only options I'm considering??? I said "over a week later" and "at least a week" in my comments, which covers weeks/months/years
