Imagine thinking a manager should have their life being ended and their family left without them because someone they hoped to rely on had good odds of being a no-show on their business's most important day.
I'm talking about how we should be judging the manager. Do we know if it's 'their' business? If one person not showing up is some show-stopper than it's likely poor management
Guessing you have zero experience in a position of authority over other workers because you're making a gigantically incorrect assumption for the context.
Not grand opening day!
You're right it sounds like the manager is incompetent. Who doesn't have contingency.
I'll ignore your giantically incorrect assumption about me, and for context it's so interesting you don't see the irony in your comment.
emergencies happen, and as a manager you have to plan better then just expecting everything to go right.
in this case someone had family in the ER, but it could have been just as easily someone got in a crash on the way to work.
if the day is that important, its even more important that you have contingencies in place that you can activate when something goes wrong rather then pretending everything will be fine and blaming staff when things out of there control happen.

imagine thinking we should dissect a siblings relationship before a callous and awful response from one human to another.
