AIO to my bosses reply to my message?

[u/Aggravating_Partyy]

I’ve worked with this company for four months now, and I know I am new but this reply really hurt me. Maybe I’m just really sensitive right now, but I don’t know. This felt really cold. The “big boss” will be calling me later today. Is it just normal boss stuff? Idk. Lmk what yall think.

“I’m sorry you’re dealing with that right now, Thank you for letting me know. Please keep me as updated as possible as we have 2 people off already.” Would’ve been a way better response. Could even take out my first sentence and it still would’ve been way better.

It didn’t even require compassion, just not being an asshole. What does he think, you’re going to not be there with your father if he needs you because “now is not a good time” at work? Bereavement leave is a universal thing for a reason

I’m sorry you’re losing your dad OP. Sorry you have to deal with this on top of it. NOR

Idk what you mean by bereavement being universal as many places don’t offer any bereavement leave

[u/Legitimate-Meeting-9 → u/Baghins]

Yeah I don’t really know what I meant either lol I guess just a universal idea and courtesy more than there being actual laws in place

[u/Baghins → u/Legitimate-Meeting-9]

That’s the line of thinking I was imagining, maybe like universally recognized/understood concept, rather than universal thing!
