OP, I'd like to add my condolences on the loss of your father. I know you are going through a hard time right now but it will get better - you have to take it a day at a time. I hope you have some sort of support system to help you through this.
I'm glad you are looking for another job. I wouldn't burn any bridges, why waste the time? If your manager is an insensitive clod, nothing you can say or do will probably matter to her anyway. Just go on with your life as positively as you can.
Hey i just wanted to say that i am sorry for your loss. You have handled this situation honestly way better than i would have. I wish you luck in finding a new position and my prayers go out to you and your loved ones.
I'm extremely sorry to hear your father passed away. I feel for you, as I was very close to my father and he passed on 16 years ago. AS for your boss, there's a special place in hell for people who don't let employees take the day to go to a parent's funeral. Hell has a special place for those who have no empathy for others and can't give condolences when a parent passes on. I would look at this incident with the boss as a very serious red flag that you need to find another place. What if someone else in your family passes away? What if you need surgery one day or some needed personal day? This boss is CRUEL.
So sorry for your loss. I hope you can somehow get some time off for yourself and family. Your boss sounds completely devoid of empathy or a connection to life beyond work. Even most workaholic supervisors know things in life happen, them being no exception.
This is very stressful for you. Be strong and hang on there and best to you and family!
Oh Jenny, I'm so sorry. I didn't comment on your last thread, but I read it.
Sometimes, it isn't a lack of compassion. Some people are just really uncomfortable with death. Some people just weren't raised right.
I hope you give her some constructional criticism when you leave. I mean, don't burn any bridges, but she should know this is a failing of hers.
Again, I'm really sorry for your loss.
I completely agree with this post. I'm also a firm believer in KARMA and a day of judgment, and on that day, I sure would not wish to be your present boss.
What a disgusting boss you have there. I would also say screw bridges at this point too. I'm very sorry for your loss as well. I lost my father suddenly in college and mother from cancer so I sympathize.
