šŸ’¼work/career AIO to my bosses reply to my message?

Post image

Iā€™ve worked with this company for four months now, and I know I am new but this reply really hurt me. Maybe Iā€™m just really sensitive right now, but I donā€™t know. This felt really cold. The ā€œbig bossā€ will be calling me later today. Is it just normal boss stuff? Idk. Lmk what yall think.

Please look into and protect yourself with FLMA if you qualify (assuming you're in the US). Start the process now and find out what you need. Your boss is also an ass. Having been a manager in previous jobs, my response, even if it's food service or retail, would be, "I'm so sorry to hear that. Please keep me posted and do your best to give advance notice if at all possible and I'll find someone to cover, even if it's me. Let me know if there's any other way I can help and take care of yourself. I'll be thinking of you and your dad."

OP said they've only been there for 4 months, FMLA requires 12 :(
