A brief spoken exchange from a YouTube video (uploaded by Mike Andes) in which Mike Andes and another speaker discuss how an employee returned to work shortly after multiple personal tragedies (house fire, pet euthanasia, uncle's death). The speakers debate whether returning so quickly indicates exceptional commitment or whether people should take more time away to recover.

This employee's house burnt down and literally two days later, he came back to work.
I have had a year from hell. Put my dog down in, like, March. My uncle died early May. My house burnt down in August.
The question is, is this considered a great team member that was committed to business, or should people take more time when personal things happen in their life? Stay away from work and make sure they come back refreshed.
