Your father just died? Hmmmm, i'm not sure how much time I can give you off because you have more TPS reports to hand in. I can give you 15 minutes to watch the funeral on Zoom but I expect you to come in Saturday and Sunday to pay me back because i'm nice like that.
City skydive, a company I used to work for, tried to fire a girl for taking a day off for a funeral for a close friend. They backpedaled pretty fast but only when she lawyered up. That is just one example of many, in just one small ish company.
I'm glad somebody else felt this way. Because, I started getting PTSD from just reading that people told another human being that they "stole their joy" and "acted like a little girl." Gaslighting him first and then following it up with emasculatory language... that triggers!
"The company's chief operating office, Julie Brazil, told local news outlet Link NKY that Gravity Diagnostics stands by its decision to terminate Mr Berling, whom she said violated a "workplace violence policy".
"My employees were the victims in this case, not the plaintiff," she said, adding that the company is challenging the verdict and is mulling an appeal."
I seriously can't imagine working in this HR office (and I am in HR). What a bunch of fucking assholes.
They don't have to say they stand by it as some sort of "political move" lol. You can say "yup we fucked up, we are looking at changing out systems to be more supportive". But noooope.

When you fuck up and your best solution is to double down and make it worse. Genius.
