Prolly is! I had a manager that wrote me up for "abandoning my job" AND insubordination when I reported to a new job in the same agency (promotion) on my start date! He had 6 weeks notice but didn't want to let me go.... He was spot on about the insubordination

Definitely agree it was fake. Customer support usually has high turnover, and if the employee has been there 6 years I don't see how she could still have the least seniority. And the exception for the employee with concert tickets is the icing on the cake.
