Is it? Because then you just go home, get paid for the last day, and don't have to drive in tomorrow.

It is. Obviously, this guy is a worthless sperg, but that doesn't justify bad treatment that they give out to absolutely everyone. The fact that he has a white beard and is working for a postal company at that advanced age suggests that he is not terribly well-off, so losing his livelihood at the spur of the moment isn't great news - and now he has even less time to deal with it.

How companies are allowed to treat employees in America is wild.

I had to drive all the way back to turn in my ID so I got an extra days worth of commute for nothing.

You know my address, come pick it up if you want it.
