Re: Should An Employer Give An Employee Time Off After A ...
Ok I clicked yes but really I need another option here. I think yes if you have the personal days (or comp time) coming to you - what you do with them is your business. However I can also say I have worked with some that have had emotional breakdowns after a relationship went sour - they were not only worthless at work but they were a distraction.
So I say if you have personal days - fine go home and get paid. If you don't have personal days then still go home (don't get paid) deal with your emotions there. So I say go home and hug your bottle of prozac and send Dr. Phil your sob story emails, have a boo fest party.

i voted yes. but i agree with smartmom i think if you have the time to take well by all means take it. i do think certain people need time off to refresh and recuperate after a break up it can be good for you, plus like smartmom says it can be nonproductive for the work environment if someone is not focusing on their work and they can then be more of a hindrance.

I voted "No" cause I'm a jerk, but I agree that if you have the personal time coming, you could take it for whatever reason. Except most employers want a 2 week notice and generally a bad break-up may be more of a surprise...
Re: Should An Employer Give An Employee Time Off After A ...
This one is really hard to say a straight yes or no. I guess it depends on what all the circumstances are that would make work impossible that time needed to be given. Court appearances, financial matters or worse case scenario your own mental or emotional collapse perhaps. But, then you always have someone who would abuse with every break up year in and year out. Can't say which way I'd go since each persons situation is probably very different. I didn't vote on any of the three choices since none seemed to fit my opinion on this subject.

can you imagine the loser that would attempt this? If you're having a bad break up year in year out you'd be used to break ups by then so no time off would be needed. I suppose every situation would have to be looked at individually. If it's someone that you've been with for a few years and you took them to office parties and the like, they knew your boss, co-workers etc it would be legitimate, however if it's someone you've only been with a couple of months, not so much.
