Much has been reported about the unfortunate young Hartford, Connecticut man whose arm was stuck in a furnace for three days . But no one apparently asked why someone from his work didn’t call pretty quickly to find out why he was no-call, no-show? In contrast, when Virginia’s tax commissioner failed to show up to work by 11 a.m. one day last week, her co-workers were calling and then drove over to her Richmond, Virginia, house, peering in windows. (Unfortunately, she had in fact, passed away.) Can the employer do that, you might ask?
