I was working at a restaurant connected and owned by a hotel at the time when a coworker died from a long battle with cancer. He was loved by everyone, including me and it was horribly sad. Our bosses announce that they will hold a memorial for him at one of our venues but to my surprise schedule it while still keeping both the hotel and restaurant open. I was scheduled to work during it and I was very sad that I would miss it. I didn't even bother to ask if I could have the day of or change my schedule because that would mean one of my other coworkers would have to cover for me, and in turn they wouldn't be able to attend the memorial.
So shitty as it is I sucked it up and tried to keep my mind off it. So the day or the memorial I am working and trying to think about anything other than my dead coworker. Then all of a sudden all of higher ups (owner, CEO, top managers) walk in having just been at the memorial, still dressed in all black and sit down to have a drink while loudly talking about how lovely the memorial was and how amazing of a person our coworker was.
I tried so hard to just do my job. I was so angry at them and so sad that my friend was dead and then for them to come and rub it in my face. I would have loved for the opportunity to have been there and properly mourn.
