Employee Missing Work Tomorrow Because His Dog Died

Couldn't say I'd miss work, but I'll say that dogs are immensely better than 95% of the world population.

The only thing the guy did wrong was telling you why he's taking a day off. Rookie mistake.

This.

Is there anyone that can cover while an employee is out? If not you may need to evaluate the way projects get done when someone is out...What if he had the flu and wouldn't be able to work all week..

In a year or two, he'll make assistant manager, and THAT'S when the big bucks start rolling in!

You must have a shitty dog, or you're just a shitty person. My guess is the latter.

Why, because I have perspective about the life of a pet? Yeah, I'm shitty.

A dog is a dog. If you have one you treat it with dignity and love and keep it healthy.

When it dies, it dies. If you are an adult, especially a man.

He is a project manager. Project Managers only work on their own bids because other Project Managers are slammed doing their Project Manager duties

Tell him he can take off but it's crucial that he has his bids done by their deadline

Is it really that difficult?

Man, frick a dog. If he has kids that love the dog that he has to deal with, I can dig it. But all these people acting like a dog is a damn person need to come the frick on.

And I have a dog. It's a ducking dog, though.


This mentality is why I will never talk to a person, especially my boss about a day off, about my sick/dying dog.

Different people have very different perspectives of what dogs are you. You have a boss like this guy, and he will laugh you out of the office. It's not a good look professionally.

Agreed.

No way he manages or supervises, other than fast food.

He gets 2 weeks PTO because he has been with the company for 2 years.

First Year - No PTO
2nd Year - 2 weeks (Xmas Break = 1 week PTO)
3rd year - 3 weeks (Xmas Break = 1 week PTO)
4+ years - 4 weeks (Xmas Break = 0 week PTO)
