So my grandmother died a week ago. She lived several US states away from me so there was no way for me to make the funeral and I had to attend via zoom link while still clocked in at work Saturday. I emailed my boss saying effective immediately I was going to be taking my 3 paid days off. She texted me this morning and said that because it was such short notice, her boss was on PTO, and the other manager is taking the weekend off that said bereavement was denied.
I'm so frustrated with this stupid company but specifically my boss. She fucks over our schedules, fucks over out PTO, let's one specific associate do just whatever the hell while the rest of us are held to an entirely different standard and now this. My grandmother and I were extremely close and I haven't been taking her death well at all. Even so, it's my legal right to take bereavement and I'm angry she's being such a fucking tyrant during this really hard time for me.
Before anyone asks, yes I'm already looking for work elsewhere. While I love my job, none of this is worth it. I just needed a minute to be angry where folks would understand.
