So it was close to the end of the day and the one manager (my “boss”) had a legitimate family emergency. Her kid was rushed to the emergency room for some health issues. This boss has always done a fantastic job, always been helpful, caring, and very reliable plus she always gets compliments from many of the customers.
And then this happened and she's fighting back tears insisting she has to make things look nice in the store and get the job done 110%.
I insisted that she leave things to me and call the boss boss because she needs to be leaving and be with her dying child.
Nope. Instead she's stressing over leaving things for the next shift to do, she doesn't want to be a burden, hates when things look messy, etc.
Even with me helping her she was more concerned for a company that doesn't give a darn than being there for her own child.
The boss boss could have easily come over as he lives nearby and finsihed things up for her, or allowed her to leave things for the next shift.
I'm so appalled that these companies have such a chokehold on us that making a store look pretty is more important than being with your own child when they need you, and I'm so disgusted the boss boss wouldn't come over to finish for her.
