Its none of my business when people go back to work,but I have to agree with you. When we had a horrible death in my family, my job gave me one week off for the funeral, thats it. I had to work the whole time it was going on, or we would have lost OUR house. We had 2 tiny kids and my husband was in college. My sister worked for the same company, took tons of time off, and they would not hold her position for her. They told her they would find her another position but you know how that goes. So right, not everyone can stay off work as long as they please.Money has to come from SOMEWHERE, it is ridiculous to think they aren't getting any.
I had a horrible death in my family too and had to be at work the day after I found out. I've had many friends in this situation too. People brought some food around but I never considered asking for donations and checking into the Ritz. I also had a hard time eating and would have thought it was a sick joke if someone asked me to have dinner at somewhere like Morgans on the day of getting the news.
