EWING, N.J. — A text exchange shows a New Jersey restaurant manager firing an employee after she asked for time off to attend a friend’s funeral. The student’s texts with her manager at Cafe 72 in Ewing showed her explaining that she wanted to take off for the funeral of Michael Sot, 20, a student at The College of New Jersey. The manager, identified only as Katie, responded by telling the unidentified employee “I have to let you go” amid a testy exchange. “This private conversation was not related in any way to the mourning of Michael,” the post said. The post then said there was nothing excusing the language used in the text exchange.
