You’ve Got Some Nerve, Having A Death On Company Time

My mother died a couple of weeks ago. As her Durable Power of Attorney it was my responsibility to fly out, meet with her medical team, make end of life decisions, and make all funeral arrangements, close bank accounts, etc. This all happened suddenly, and Mom had the temerity to take her downward turn while I was at work. My boss required me to formally apply for a leave of absence (LOA) because otherwise “this will affect your attendance.” So while dealing with all of my mother's stuff and trying to help my sister through this I am now also trying to navigate the evils of HR and the LOA team. They want an 8 page document from her doctor with details of my mom's medical conditions. I don't even remember the name of the hospital she was at.

Boss glorifies 2 a.m. messages

So I automated my messages to be sent at 2 a.m. Context: Our boss always speaks so highly of a few individuals in our company who “send me updates at 2 a.m! That's the attitude I love! They are our super stars!” (as if sending messages past midnight is a key performance indicator of some kind.) pAnyways, every now and then I write up my updates during work hours but then automate the messages to be sent at 2 a.m. I got more praise than I ever did my entire time at the company 🤣
