From NPR comes the story of Eric Favetta, a New Jersey Petsmart worker who was required to work a double overnight shift.
He brought his pooch to the store, not wanting him to be alone all that time, and put him in the store's doggie daycare.
You guessed it, Favetta was fired for "theft of services."
He was eventually offered his job back, but come on. It's not as if he put the dog in daycare when he wasn't on the job.
The transcript makes the point that the daycare is a very popular offering at that store.
Well, daycare isn't overnight. Favetta was looking out for the welfare of his dog.
One would think a store whose clientele are pet lovers would be a little more understanding about their employees who have pets.
UPDATE: Favetta got a much better job while he was unemployed. Read the whole story here. Good for him, and bad for Petsmart for treating him that way.
