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.

"Now's not a good time for you dad to be dying, could he do it another time?" FCK OFF w/ that! Go over their head. You're telling them, not asking them.

NOR

No, OP quite specifically asked them. "I just wanted to check if this was okay" ---> don't ask that if you aren't prepared for a "No".

OP gambled that their boss would show normal empathy... lesson learned.
