My boss just did this, for a good reason as her partner unexpected and prematurely went into labour, but it did get me wondering in what other situation this is an acceptable thing to do

Honestly, it depends on your job.
Some jobs will fire you for taking too long in the restroom.
Those are not good jobs.
At other jobs, nobody will flinch if you send a quick note saying you gotta leave now for personal reasons and just take off.
It’s amazing how the conditions of a job scale with pay. The lowest paid jobs have the worst conditions, work environment, colleagues and management. One way of climbing this ladder is to acquire niche skills that are difficult to replace. Charisma is probably the top tier skill when seeking the best work conditions. If you add psychopathy to that, forget about it, you on the board of directors.
Over time, those jobs will lose all the good staff. It’s self-correcting.
it depends, people also need money to yk survive so they’ll often accept lots of abuse because they don’t have much other choice.
