Why Can't People Let people Grieve!!

OMG how rude and careless this boss of hers. I think she really needs to quit that job of hers. That is horrible not to let his employee time to grieve especially the person she lose is her 9 year old daughter. I really think that she could find a much better and caring job there is out there. I hope this boss of her would not encounter the same problem as she has.

first, i am very sorry for the loss of your friend's daughter. i have had two loved ones die of cancer and i know it is a terrible thing to watch someone go through and suffer with. i can only imagine how it must feel, on top of that, to have it be your own child, and at such a young age when she still had so much ahead of her.:( that is truly tragic. now i have to say, what the heck is wrong with people? you are right- some people are only out for themselves and that is too bad. it's awful that your friend has to deal not only with the tragic loss of her young daughter, but on top of it deal with a jerk of a boss who obviously cares about no one but himself. she really should quit. can she? i would have a hard time not telling him off if it was me! i know it is probably not the right or the best thing to do, but some people just deserve it! honestly, though, it sounds like no matter what your friend did, it would not phase him one bit. i hope that he goes easier on her. tell her good luck!

I don't know about Canada, but here the states her boss would not be able to legally treat her like that. I wish I could remember the name of act that enables people to take time off for things like medical leave. I would think that grieving would go under it. I know some places of empolyment have a Leave of Absence. They don't necessarily get paid, but depending upon their position can have a week up to a year off without losing their job. Now, they might not have the same job when they get back, but they will still have employment.

I do agree with you though, if she really doesn't need that job, I wouldn't want her to go back to work there. The guy has no compassion.

You Should Have Called Her Boss And Told Him "Get A Life" Freak.
Leave The Whereas Report This To The Authorities.
Call 911.
He Should Be Punished For Using Abusing Language And Threatning.
He Gotta SIt Behind The Bars For A Long Time.
According to the law you may take a leave of a week For a family cause
Maybe her Boss For Got THe Law

Her boss has absolutely no feelings for people. I'd quit the job and find me another one. I think that you are supposed to be able to take off for deaths in the family with no problems. But my husband went through this when his Mother died. His boss made him come in and drive a GAS truck the next day! He drove it under distress and had to pull over and call in and have somebody come drive the truck back into the terminal. He said, had he had it to do over again, he'd just have taken a day off without pay! There were other men though, that the boss let off and never said a thing!

Firstly, I am very sorry for the loss of your niece. It is a tragedy when a child is lost. Your poor sister. What sort of heartless monster is her boss? I can not understand how someone can be so cold-hearted and unfeeling over the loss of a child. In your sister's shoes, I could not work for such a horrible person. How DARE he yell at her like that or expect her to work when she has just lost a child! It is obvious he doesn't care about anyone except himself. I don't believe in violence but, if anyone ever deserved a smack around the head, it is him.

hi Bluebell. am sorry to hear what you shared. i feel for you and your sister. i hope she's all better now. she's lucky to have you by her side. grieve with her. it's not easy losing a family.

whoever her boss is, i hope this doesn't happen to him. so that he won't feel how difficult it is to wake from grief.

just to share, from where i work, employees are given bereavement leave. it's a human right. plus it's part of the the right an employee or a laborer. it's even stated in most labor codes.

in the first place, work is second priority to life.

God! how insensitive. what a selfish little world.

just to sympathize, your sister doesn't need the yelling and definitely doesn't deserve that kind of a company. if such management can't respect what is due to a person, then they don't need her services. the least thing they can do is treat her that way.

hopefully your sister carries on with life in the time that is perfect for her. for now, let her weep. as a sign of love for her child.

Most companies have some sort of bereavement time they allow employees.
I'd say this boss is a cold hearted human being and report him to a labor
board or ethics committee in your area.
It's like you said, some people just don't care.
Please let your sister know that some of us understand what
she is going through. My thoughts and prayers are with her.
Losing a child is very hard to do.

omg i would be livid! she needs to go over his head and make a report and find out for sure how much time she has available to her!
personally i would have chew him a new a$$hole and quit on the spot. but then ive never lost a child so i dont know what would happen. i certainly wouldnt be running back in to him though!my express condolences on the loss of your niece bluebell! 9 years old is just too young!

Hello bluebell, sorry to hear about your niece and for your sister too. I lost my mom to cancer just last March.

Your sister's boss is very rude and he's definitely got an attitude problem. could she report that case to Labor? One's entitled to emergency vacations and threatening her is a ground for reporting the boss. She can quit too but quitting without giving a fight will make the boss much more mr. all high and mighty.

I know it's bad to wish somebody ill but I hope someone will grieve for him when it's his time to depart.

Wish you and your sister well.
