Your job doesn't care about you. If you are thinking about staying with a company because of the people or the "family culture," you are kidding yourself.
A coworker of mine died recently. Dropped dead after he got home from work. We got a division wide e-mail with his funeral arrangements and a meeting with HR to discuss posting the position.

Should they not fill his position?

80% true. Every once in a while someone stumbles upon a place that actually does care about their employees. I've been lucky enough to find two of these in my time, one when I was fresh out of college and now where I currently am at. I consider myself very lucky though

This is rock solid truth. My grandfather was a plant manager at a company for 30 years. When he retired they had a retirement party/dinner for him and gave him a gold Seiko watch (around 1980). He never heard from co-workers or the company again. Played golf with his buddies until he died in the 90s.

You want them to leave the position open to mourn? It's a business, what the frick do you expect?

Should they just leave the position vacant?

is the business supposed to mourn him by keeping his position open or something?

Absolutely. I'm just saying that more than once on this board, people have given advice that "company culture" matters as much as salary. Its bull. Your company doesn't care about you.
Some of you are misinterpreting my post as a complaint. Its not. Its a hard truth that no one wants to think about.

Sorry for your loss.
