'You just suspended me!': Employee quits when blundering manager suspends them and then expects them to show up for a shift

Giving someone a punishment that prohibits them from doing something and then subsequently expecting them to still do that thing is downright insane. The entire point of suspending an employee from the workplace is that they have committed or exhibited some type of behavior that the employer has deemed unacceptable for the workplace. Hence, it's a way of having them temporarily not be there to either cool off or so the employer can figure out the next steps. Expecting the employee to show up when they have received a suspension might be a sure sign that they shouldn't have been suspended in the first place and the manager is just abusing their power.
