Should an organization accommodate an employee's personal situation so that he/she can continue to do work? Or personal life shouldn't mix with business totally?
A lot has got to do with the personnel selection process. The rest is a chance and future cannot be predicted.employee's personal situation
It is best to keep both separate, and keep both good and healthy. Else they begin to mix without ones knowledge.personal life shouldn't mix with business totally?

Problems happen to most of us at some time or other. The lack of a policy to allow emergency time off to deal with urgent issues can result in conflicts like this one, where specific actions are called into question as though he is a defendant in a trial.My officemate notified his supervisor that he will be taking emergency leave of absence without pay and try to find some sort of way to get some money because his mother was sent for an emergency treatment of an ailment. The COO told the CEO that he (officemate) didn't show up for work.. he said he didn't have enough money. The COO said however he did show up for his paycheck and bought some smokes even though the COO knew that he was a smoker (COO is a smoker too, they usually see each other at the smoking area) so not surprising if he bought some smokes. But it doesn't erase the fact that there was an emergency, and therefore, he shoudn't be penalized for taking personal emergency leave. There was a conflict between the COO and my officemate. Unfortunately, instead of just try to get over it my officemate is resigning.
What should I advise him?
