So a colleage of mine died a little more then a month ago. His brother in law who also works at the company, and has known him for 20 something years (as long as he has worked for the company), had a really hard time dealing with that. My colleage was sick/hospitalized and in and out of coma for half a year+ so this was the apex of an emotional rollercoaster. When my colleage died he was not in a state to work. He actually went to a physisian and now he's seeing a shrink.

He took one week of to deal with everything, including his own mental well being, and you know what the human thing was my employers did. Subtract that week from his vacation days without telling him.

WOW, just fucking wow... I mean - yeah it's sort of legal to do that, but seriously

    @senzory sort of agree, just shitty to find out that doing 20 years of free over time - hard work - not complaining - amounts to being fucked over when you are at your most vulnerable

    You can always count on businesses to treat their employees this way sadly.

    It seems that in the world of work, people and companies have forgotten that employees are people selling their labour, and sadly, they end up getting treated as little more than indentured servants as a result, and employees often adopt this mindset too.

    That poor guy, what a genuinely shitty thing to have happen.

    This is all justified by the oft-cited "It's not personal. It's just business."

    Honestly, MD's and anyone driven by money (politicians, the church, etc) can go fuck themselves.

    I am sorry for your loss.

    I am also sorry that you work for such an inhuman company. I would be putting out the feelers in full force. You and the brother-in-law.

    Not all companies are like this, and when you do find something, make sure you document the reason for your departure with the company as well as on a site like Glass Door.

    Ah, sorry - I got that much. I was simply using the title you gave him to avoid confusion.

    Remember. They hired because you were better not any other reason.

    Never work overtime.
    Never work for free.

    If they go out of their way and do nice things and make life easier, i repay it with extra hours or responding after work.

    But at the end of the day... Its a contract.

    But yes is sad to see this either way.
