Yeah, driver walked out and the center manager carried out.
The punk center manager is a lucky person.
center manager said the most atrocious thing.

To me, that's not the point.
Degrading an employee by using their sister's murder by hit and run is getting into the realm of wilful and aggravated intimidation and I don't know many people that could turn their cheek on that.

We had a driver years ago call out sick one morning. His father was very ill and was probably going to die that day. The OCS and I quote said "I'm running a business here" I would have got in my car, drove down there and decked him.
My parents are getting up there in age, but healthy thank god. I can't imagine the day when I'm dealing with my mother or father passing. I don't even want to think about it. I come from a small family with no real extended family and I've never had to deal with death other then the family pet. I don't think 3 days bereavement will do it for me. I couldn't imagine one of these vile supervisors or CMs mouthing off to me. I'll lose it

Lies and intimidation are just tools in the center managers toolbox. Just about the only tools he has left.

They never have figured out when the straw that breaks the camel's back will occur.
Some management folks tread on thin ice and don't understand what the repercussions may be for the things they do.
One of our drivers was raised by his grandparents and when he got a call telling him his grandmother was about to die the freak supe told him to keep driving until they get a replacement.
His grandmother died before he got home.
Hate is a strong word but it becomes applicable when the employee is treated this way.

I'll let you know what happens tomorrow. As for decking him I don't know how he kept his composure.

He did! Just reading that made me want to punch that center manager and I'm not all hopped up on testosterone.
I just want to point out not all management respond the same way when a family member passes.
When my father died, they told me to bring in whatever I had left (I did finish my p/us). They also told me to take as much time off as I needed. We started EDD that very week, so not one driver could make it to the wake as the routes had been all screwed up. My center manager did come.

Well, that would explain the pictures he took of me beside the deceased....

We had a former center manager who died as a result of a freak construction accident.
The sea of brown at his wake was a testament of how much he meant to us.

My father (not my Dad) passed away shortly before Peak several years ago. Since he was being cremated there was no rush to schedule the services. I worked through Peak and my center manager returned the favor by giving me the whole week after Christmas off.
Things may have been different had there been a closer relationship between my father and I.

It definitely depends on the individual(s).
I have never seen anyone refused additional time off. (within reason)
Especially, if you are the executor of the estate.
But, I have had the unpleasant experience of having to hear grievances, when the
company "forgot" to pay the appropriate funeral pay.
Forgetting once is a mistake.
The Labor Dept having to fork over "penalty pay" on a grievance for it....
Will get a management person reassigned, real quick.

I was refused extra time off after my brothers funeral. Management told me that they didn't have coverage. Is that excuse within reason for the company? @BigUnionGuy

Extra time as in beyond that provided for in the contract? Yes, they have the right to deny, based on staffing
They do have a business to run.
