If anyone who has hiring abilities discriminate her due to this silly misfortune, they aren't worth working for.
There is no misfortune here. She didn't want the job and he relived her of the obligation that she despised. I certainly would never hire someone so rude, tactless, clueless and ungrateful. I guess I'm not worth working for. She demonstrated, far beyond any resume or interview could ever show, that she is unlikely to be a good employee. Honestly, anyone who hired her is pretty foolish. Based on what would you ever employ someone who had done this? What interview or resume feature would be so good that you would think "oh, she is a better candidate that all of the others that we have?"
Unless she is the very last option and there is no one else to hire, I don't see any logical reason why even the most desperate would hire her. Companies don't want to hire the bottom of the barrel. The definitely don't want to hire the publicly known bottom of the barrel. Everyone hires someone bad on accident and has to deal with the high cost that that entails. But doing it when it was obvious and everyone else knew how foolish it was makes your company look ridiculous on top of it.
Honestly, her boss was trapped here. He looked like a fool if he didn't cut her immediately. She backed him into a corner. She attacked his business publicly. Would you honestly hire people to represent you personally who said things like this about you?
This is how I would have handled it. I would have embarrassed her professionally, tell her her options, extend her probation period to 6mos and teach her.
All I'm saying Scott is what if that was your kid. You would be mad at your child at the same time you would hope that someone would give them a chance. To have an unforgiving attitude is disrespectful to life it self. It's always those who don't f'give are the first one to ask for f'giveness when they do something wrong. Due to the fact that we're not perfect, anyone can bank on messing up a some point in there life. I just think that if an employer take the chance with her, he/she needs to take the time to explain that they are willing to give her a chance, but she going to have to work hard to keep her spot.
That's just me.
