North Salem Court Clerk Battling Cancer Fired By Email

On December 22, after serving 10 years as a court clerk in North Salem, Trish Rubino, with 5 months to go before retirement and battling a cancer called multiple myeloma, was informed that her services were no longer needed. Her health insurance benefits also disappeared.  
According to the North Salem Daily Voice, Rubino was not kept on by North Salem's new town judges who were taking office on January 1. The new judges didn't even have the common decency to inform her in person. Instead they chose to terminate her by sending her an email three days before Christmas.

Rubino told the Daily Voice she had tried to reach out to the newly elected judges but they refused her request for a meeting. 

An anonymous source said that the judges, prior to being elected, did not have sufficient opportunity to see Rubino perform at her job and that she was absent from many justice court nights.

The facts are that the decision to terminate Rubino was made without the full understanding of her health and retirement situation. How could the authorities at North Salem Town Hall have any understanding of her unique circumstances when she'd only been employed for close to 10 years? For the individuals who were responsible for her termination, they must have forgotten the definition of "Compassion" which is "a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken with misfortune and accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering."
