Reply to comment by awaythrowbosk in Mount Sinai investigating newborn’s death during NYC nurses' strike by CasinoMagic

So if you quit your job, give two weeks notice, and then something bad happens weeks after you quit, you think you should be held criminally liable?

No because I quit and am no longer responsible for what happens the second I walk out the door on my last day. But assuming I didn’t come in one day because I practiced my right to strike or I just wasn’t feeling it cause I was hungover, and for whatever reason my company couldn’t find a replacement, I would have a sense of guilt and to a certain extent feel responsible for bad things that happened which I would’ve been able to prevent had I been there.

Ie If I’m a security guard in the Louvre and we all didn’t show up to work on Monday for whatever reason and a bunch of thieves decide to steal the Mona Lisa on that day, then I’d feel directly responsible for why that very famous art work is lost and will probably be sitting in the house if whatever shady billionaire buys it from the dark web

management had 10 days notice for the strike. as well as months notice that the contract expired at the end of the year and if they didn’t come to an agreement with the union/nurses, a strike was a possibility.

so if you gave two weeks notice and your boss didn’t replace you; and then something bad happened after you left, are you still liable? no and neither are the nurses.

How about if you scheduled vacation & something happened while you were away?
