A business's only function is to make money.

You’re just a number to them.

What did you want them to do? Shut the company down?

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.
What else should they do?

It can. I work at a business with awesome company culture, and if I drop dead today I would still expect them to fill my seat ASAP.

Going to give you young baws a free lesson
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.
It's the old school boomers you need to be giving that advice to.

What would you have them do...not backfill the position?

I'm sorry for your loss. Even if you weren't friendly/close, I imagine it's hard to not put yourself in their shoes.
As to the lesson, younger generations are trying to implement stricter home/work boundaries and fight the 'hustle & grind' culture. It often gets lambasted and labeled as lazy/entitled.

culture takes on the personality of the leader, my company went through a phase, when Attila the Hun was our CEO, that when a manager was getting pretty top heavy on vacation accrual, pension accrual, and health benefits, they would find a reason to lay them off and replace them with a younger person, half or less the pay, and almost no benefits, the way the person to be laid off was "notified" was to be met by two armed guards as they were coming to work, escorted to their desk with a cardboard box to load up their crap, and escorted off the property, and I'm talking 30+ year employees, they're a little more touchy feely -currently

What the hell were they supposed to do???
i guess he wanted them to erect a shrine and put a monument up in his honor or something
they did more then most companies who wouldnt have even acknowledged his death and just posted the job opening without any other comment

Probably should have sent 2 separate emails with his funeral arrangements and the opened position meeting.

A wise old man once told me when I started working “There is a reason they give you an employee number because that’s what you are, a number”

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.
The company my wife worked for gave us $10k after we flooded in 2016 and let her have as much time off as she needed to deal with it. When her aunt died (she had been a long-time employee years earlier) the company sent condolence cards and a large peace lily to not only her family but to my wife and mother-in-law (since they were employees at the time).
Companies differ in how and to what extent they truly go in order to help out their employees.
While you're complaining about the company and about others responding to your complaint, you have yet to say what you believe the company should do differently. Until that point, you're either just bitching to bitch or to use them as your emotional punching bag for dealing with your sense of loss.

Yeah thanks, but I realized that about 20 years ago.

This whole thread could be summed up in “you’re not special, snowflake.”
