On 10-18-18, we were having a going away party for our AGM Danielle, and Melissa did not want to be a part of the team. She was up cleaning a room by herself. I went up to get her to be part of the group and she said that she wanted to get done as she had family in town. However, she did come down and stood in a corner on her texting on her phone. At the end of the break, she told MairaMaria that she was leaving and went to clock out. Maria stopped herMelissa and told Melissaher that she had to ask me before she could leave. Melissa disappearsdisappeared for a minute, then came back and told Maria that her family was too important and lockoutclocked out and left. I had not spoken with her and did not give her permission to leave at that time.
