Had a boss years ago here in the US that told me I had used up all of my PTO during a time of mourning and funeral preparation. My dad was dying/died during that time and the boss was telling me this because I had to take 2 weeks off to spend time with my dying father who was in Hospice with cancer, as well as arrange the funeral and care for my mom.
When my father was in a motorcycle accident in a different state, I was fully prepared to quit on the spot if they tried to tell me my absence “couldn’t be excused.” I had no savings, no prospects, and no plan, but I had a burning belief that family comes first.
Luckily my boss was an actual human, and wanted to help.

The empire can’t burn fast enough.
