Former Crosby Street Hotel Chef Says He Was Fired While Caring For Dying Wife

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A Manhattan chef is suing his former employer, claiming he was not allowed adequate time off while his wife was dying.

As CBS 2?s John Slattery reported, Robert Esselborn says he was fired from his chef’s job when he wanted to take time off to care for his dying wife.

“It’s horrible. I wouldn’t want anyone to have to do that, have to go through that,” he said.

Esselborn was married to his wife Barbara for 16 years before she died on Dec. 24, 2013 — the day after he lost his job.

wrong with some people. There are thousands of unemployed chefs in NY, they could have gotten a temp to fill in for him while he was with his wife.
