Funerals On A Budget Rotating Header Image

Am I Being Too Sensitive…..?

A family friend passed away this morning so I told my “supervisor” (she isn’t a supervisor, but she is who the boss goes to for everything. There are two campuses and the business office is at the other campus, so he looks at her like the “supervisor” at our campus over our department) “I am going to be out no matter what day it was, I will be out because I am going.” She has already been approved to be out for a personal day this Friday. She said to me, ” Oh, well what if the funeral is on Friday?” I told her I don’t care, I will be out. They can fend for themselves…how many times have we been short 2 or 3 people and we were fine…we were able to get through the day.” She then asked me, “Well, will you be out a full day or will you come in after the funeral?” I told her “I don’t know what I will do.” She followed up by telling me “I don’t care if they fire me, I am not coming in on Friday if you’re not here. I was approved… I’m going” So then she comes to me later and said, ” I want you to know, I’m not being insensitive, I just want to know what’s going on so I know how to plan…I guess I’ll take tacos off the menu for Friday in case you’re not here, because that’s hard enough to do, and I don’t want the others to have to deal with them.” Then at the end of the day she “just wanted to remind me” that we DO NOT get berevement days for anybody but family. “So you won’t get paid for that day” she informed me… I looked that up in my handbook and she is right we don’t get berevement days unless it’s family.
So am I just being over sensitive or do I have the right to be really mad, because I feel like she was trying to make me feel guilty about having to go to a funeral, and we don’t even know yet if it will be Friday.

    You are not being to sensitive at all she is being very rude and IN-sensitive, family friend, family member, or just a friend! someone close to you has died and you have every right to be upset and take that day off guilt free, im not sure what her problem is but she is way out of line. im sorry for your loss, Good Luck :)
