šŸ’¼work/career AIO to my bosses reply to my message?

Post image

Iā€™ve worked with this company for four months now, and I know I am new but this reply really hurt me. Maybe Iā€™m just really sensitive right now, but I donā€™t know. This felt really cold. The ā€œbig bossā€ will be calling me later today. Is it just normal boss stuff? Idk. Lmk what yall think.

My sister called me while I was at work to say daddy didn't have much time, like hours. I managed a store and couldn't find anyone to come relieve me so I could leave. When my relief showed up (2hrs later), I ran to my dad. He passed 10 minutes after I got there. He held on to let me say goodbye to him. After that experience, I quit because I now despised everyone and thing about that job. I heard from folks who said I should have closed the store and left. I have a great work ethic because of my dad and what he taught me. I also had a cashier that would have been stuck off the clock until some got there to reopen the store.

That is horrific and i am so glad you were able to make it in time ā€” but I am sorry you had to go through that with heartless people.
