I found out on March 1st that I lost my father in the middle of my shift. My manager informed me I had 3 days bereavement leave, which I used to lay in bed and sub like a messy baby. I took another 3 days(unpaid) to travel to my home state to bury him, and tried to return to work. Three emotional breakdowns later, my HR rep told me to call this hot line to apply for extended leave. They told me I didn't qualify, because I haven't been at my job for a full year yet. I sincerely hate capitalism.
