That's the absurdity of modern business in many places. Short term, stupid thinking.
I'm glad to work for an employer with more enlightened work rules. When I had my back surgery, I was out for nearly 6 months. We had about a weeks notice, and my #2 person was able to take things on and I was able to transition most projects to her. Everything went fine. Actually it was a great thing because my fill-in's talents became apparent in my absence, and she got promoted later as a result.
Any workplace that changes so quickly that an above average player is totally out of touch in <1 year, the place is a shitshow.
