[QUOTE="Ghost in the Darkness, post: 4599719, member: 13611"] I agree... its about the principal and healing time not the money. The death and the funeral are emotional times and it bothers me that management will do what they can to help themselves and not the employee who is mourning. I was part time when my paternal grandfather passed and I didn't take any time because back then I thought I was causing work a problem by missing time. When my maternal grandfather passed a few years later I was a FT driver and it was during peak. I found out after I arrived at work and decided to stay since I was already there and there was nothing I could do. Probably the hardest day ever. I told them that evening I wouldn't be there Thursday and Friday and the funeral was Saturday (we didn't work 6th punches back then). Sup and manager had me come into the office trying to intimidate me to not miss the next 2 days. I didn't back down because I felt I did them a favor by finishing the day I started when I found out. After that experience I learned they don't care about you or your feelings.. you have to fight back and stand up for yourself. You are just a number to them. [/QUOTE]
