'The price is about $2000': Employer tells Vet they can't claim their employee discount right after expensive pet surgery

We talk a lot about mutual respect in the workplace, and this doesn't only apply to coworkers; it also applies to managers/owners and their employees. If a worker shows you respect by giving you greater notice than necessary that they will be leaving due to outside circumstances, you will do well to repay that respect by not retaliating. You might get away with it in this instance, but rest assured, after seeing how you treated their teammate, your other employees will never give you notice again. Even if you have no morals and no care for ethical reasoning, from a logical standpoint, it makes good business sense to treat your workers well as a long-term strategy.
