Gutsy GenZ employee requests time off from work for the most head-scratching reason. . .

" I recently had a breakup and haven't been able to focus on work, I need a short break.
I'm working from home today, so I'd like to take leave from the 28th to the 8th "

Below is the actual email sent by this employee to her boss.

This was in the news in New York. 

Would you fire this employee ?
OR
Would you show empathy, compassion, and kindness.

I'm sure of what I would do.
