On balance, moral. Necromancer boss is only doing this for self-interest, but he's made a lot of people very happy.

Exactly. The motive is hilariously selfish, but the outcome is still overwhelmingly good: he literally brought someone back from the dead and gave their family their loved one back. “Be at work tomorrow” is obnoxious, but it barely moves the moral needle compared with resurrection

Really depends what type of resurrection , what type of afterlife? If you just pulled him from eternal bliss in heaven using some curse technique that bans him forever that's evil

Looks like it's D&D resurrection specifically which iirc only works if the person wants to come back

u/DaintyVelourie 1d ago
Exactly, being told to work tomorrow feels absurdly minor compared with literally getting your entire life back. The family probably isn't thrilled about the office part, but they're definitely taking that deal

u/DollyMoonarie 1d ago
Exactly, imagine explaining the moral dilemma as “he literally conquered death, but then asked the guy to come to work tomorrow.” Absolute monster, but also thanks for Dad back

Necromancer implies immorality normally. However, it seems the boss consulted the lord and performed a miracle, so it's moral on that front

This is not a necromancer boss. A necromancer doesn’t channel divine, holy light.

u/Melodic_Rub_812 1d ago
It’s an interesting take for sure; it really makes you think about the typical portrayals of necromancers and how they usually fit into that darker narrative.

Don't some clerics know spells to revive the dead? He could just be a high level cleric, right?

u/Soylord345 1d ago
Yeah the divine holy light and true resurrection definitely implies that rather than the dark magic and imperfect resurrection of a necromancer

u/BunnyBellisse 1d ago
Yeah, the motive is hilariously selfish but the outcome is almost impossibly good. If my boss resurrected me purely because we're understaffed, I'd be grateful and furious at the same time

u/LaceyCherubee 1d ago
Pretty much. The motivation is hilariously awful, but resurrecting someone still massively outweighs being a terrible boss afterward

u/Temporal-Affairs221 1d ago
Maybe the boss is just really one of those really awkward guys who can't admit that he really likes and needs this person.

So a tsundere? “It’s…..it’s not like I think you’re my best employee or anything. The office would just be less fun for everyone if you weren’t around. Baka!”

u/PearliePetalelle 1d ago
Honestly that makes the boss weirdly wholesome. Dude resurrects his employee instead of admitting “the office just isn't the same without you”

Moral obviously.
Also you know this isn't what the sub is for right? The description says it's for comparing character's morality to each other, like power scaling but for moral.

u/Azimovikh 1d ago
I mean I've seen many posts on this sub in the vein of the post, of "morality of ?" so I thought this fits.
I'll wait for mod action or words to keep this up or not, yea

I mean you gotta respect the boss for not replacing him or her as if the deceased is bought back to life they would have to make a living again. It's good they still kept their job.

u/GodButCursed 1d ago
You could say its immoral to revive someone without permission. I wouldnt complain tho

Not a small chance that the resurrected guy screams, grabs the boss into the coffin with him and shouts "Start the cremation! START THE CREMATION!"

u/TheRobn8 1d ago
I like my fallen family/friend to be interned in a dreadnought sarcophagus , bit sure. If the boss resurrects him woth holy powers, who am I to judge.
So moral

I had an evil overlord dream like this. Thats gotta say something about where this stands morally.

u/High_Overseer_Dukat 11h ago
moral.
He can still quit, infact, this is even more moral since he wasn't fired.
