'Placed on the very public Wall of Shame': Employee calls out of work due to pet emergency, toxic bosses shame her to 'hold [her] accountable'

There are many heartless acts toxic bosses commit in order to keep a "well-oiled machine" running, but reprimanding employees for having family emergencies is about as bad as it gets. Shouldn't all employees operate with the understanding that things happen? And shouldn't all employees, bosses included, strive to be generous when these emergencies happen so that the same courtesy can be extended to them in return should something occur? You would think that level of equitable logic would cross the minds of folks in charge, but remember that "company people" rarely consider anything that does not directly benefit themselves or the company at large.
