Just curious, at what point does a person get fired for absenteeism?

Myself and another coworker has been here for 2 months. This coworker has been absent for a total of over 2 weeks in that span.

Said person just moved to this state as well.

Has been out for multiple reasons, including car problems, the death of a cousin
( I didn't know you could have 5 days of bereavement for a cousin).

Now said person is having problems with the new house, and hasn't been to work since Tuesday of last week.

If it were me, I'm sure I would have been fired.
How does said person still have a job?

Sadly these are strange times we are in right now. I can't believe the help at restaurants telling the owners when they will work and making them close on weekends. That behavior just made one of my favorite places close permanently. Now they don't have to worry about working weekends. They can have the whole week off. Personally I think your new person should be let go. If course in the meantime I am sure that means you are not only doing your work, but hers too. 😠
