Victorians used to grieve like all the time because they had rules how long you did it, it was a lot. But now once the funeral is over you better be filing those reports and clicking stuff on your computer

HR approved the leave, and the manager (or more likely OP) can get shitcanned when the bereaved employee gets back with damming evidence of harassment. E: most likely the bereaved gets canned for rocking the boat and the manager gets promoted for initiative. OP spirals into depression and commits suicide.

Yeah, in any country with anything approaching robust labour laws, what that manager did is an absolutely massive legal liability.

My husband (25M) and I (24F) are a mixed race couple. My daughter looks only like me and it's causing some problems.Non-Romantic submitted 4 hours ago by mixedracing My husband and I got married a bit over 2 years ago. We had an unplanned pregnancy very soon after. Our daughter is now 18 months old. I am rather dark-skinned, my husband is very light-skinned. Our daughter took after me at birth and has only gotten darker over the years. Genetically speaking I have more dominant traits so this make sense, but she shares zero physical traits with my husband. She's a carbon copy of me, as well as some other traits from my extended family. If he travels with her people ask if she's adopted, and he calmly responds that she's not. That's fine, but sometimes people ask if she's really his child. Strangers, acquaintances, family members. They make jokes about me cheating on him a lot. It hurts us both. We usually just ignore the remarks. People also make snide comments about her appearance. I'm not very pretty and unfortunately my daughter got some of my less than attractive traits, like my nose. We consider her a cute baby but sometimes people are unkind...to a baby! Pick on me all you want but it's just so heartbreaking that they'd make fun of my child. Sometimes it's straightforward but most of the time it's underhanded comments, especially from family. Currently we just ignore everything we hear but this makes me really upset because it still happens. What can we do? tl;dr: people are unkind to me, my husband, and our baby over baby's appearance people are racist af

Mirthless posted:except when the grieving person comes back to work and gets fired for not following up on the note her boss inappropriately sent her, lol This resonated with me a bit. One of those manager types, sometimes self-appointed who won't stop looking for ways to gently caress with a person. It's been a while since I've been forced to be around someone like this, but there's always a distinct moment after the third or fourth time someone interrupts what you're doing to make some kind of inane request to put you out of your way. When you realize ooooh, that's their MO. To say no would be rude and it's just a small thing right? That level of skill at being a nuisance takes years of practice.

My daughter looks only like me and it's causing some problems.Non-Romantic This reminds me of a very similar question that popped up in a Miss Manners book; the writer was a white woman with a Japanese husband, their baby took very heavily after the husband, and people were constantly asking her if she'd adopted from overseas. Miss Manner's advice was to lower your voice and say "oh, please don't say that around (Husband); he thinks she looks just like him."

The "we we we" joined at the hip language is a little creepy. It sounds like this is a chimeric couple monster that's super jealous of this guy moving on from them. It's stalking him online and then it's gonna drag him back with it's many-limbed grasp

I know a guy that married a mixed race girl and they had a baby that was darker than either of them, and while no one made comments to them that the baby wasn't his, it was kinda giggled about behind his back. Better behaved people started shutting that kind of talk down and we just figured hey, genetics can be unpredictable but then it turned out it wasn't his kid after all

I don't have a kid but I can only imagine how I would respond if people were openly talking poo poo about my baby's appearance to me. Especially if was because she had the "wrong" features. Jesus Christ, what is wrong with people? And he must have the patience of a loving saint if he isn't just suplexing the racism out of them

I grew up with three siblings but I was the only actual child from my mom and dad. They managed to make it not matter and it made it much better for my half sisters and adopted brother that way, better for everyone including me in fact. Obviously I would want to know if I was the genetic father of a child or not, but that wouldn't stop be from being a father. Play fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Mar 12, 2017 |

Me [20M] with my girl/love/my heart [24 F] of 4 months had a disagreement and I broke up her deceased Ex-boyfriend.[new] submitted 12 minutes ago by Teboned_U So I have been talking to this girl on the phone everyday for atleast 4hrs. We have been talking for about 4 months. At first, I saw this girl at work, I was amazed by her beauty. She took my breathe away. By far the most beautiful I had ever seen. She was so lovely, so pure, so unbelievable. But living in SOCAL ; there are plently of beautiful woman, so i thought nothing of it. I had never really had a conversation with her because I knew she had a boyfriend, and I have respect for that. A month into working for this company, (I think it was june, not sure) her boyfriend passes away in a motorcycle wreck. I felt so much hurt for her, still never talking to her. I didn't want to approach her because I knew she was hurting so much. Come the week before Christmas eve, We chat a little. She invites me out to attend a fellow coworkers birthday on friday evening. I go to that event, so i could spend more time with her. I knew she thought i was cute, i could see it in the way she would interact with me. Constant giggling, and crunching her nose( it still makes me the happiest man ever). The evening was AMAZING. She was so funny, so cute, so adorable, so sweet. I started to crush on her but i wasn't going to let her know. I spent the whole weekend thinking, gently caress, i really like this girl. I text her merry christmas and all of that good stuff. Didn't want to come on too strong. The next week, she was to leave to Canada for new years. Okay, whatever. She isn't into me. I tried to text her, no real results. I gave up. I didn't care. Why should i? The day before she leaves for Canada she texts me if we could get dinner in the area because "the traffic was so heavy getting home". I was already on my motorcycle about to leave, PERFECT TIMING. OF COURSE. That night, I fell so hard for this woman. I connected with her better than anyone I've ever connected with in my entire life. We sat at dinner, I barely ate, and talked for over 3 hours. She still had not packed. I looked at the time and was shocked it felt like 45 minutes. CRAZY. She comes back, Immediately asks me to come visit her at another shop location. OF COURSE. I wanted this girl so much. Not physically. I wanted her heart. She's so pure. Same thing AGAIN. I loose track of time. That week I hung out with her 5 times. Come saturday, We go to a movie, I make the move. She's perfection. I've seen a few girls in my day but this woman was everything i've ever wanted. The next week, she got accepted to a school close to my house. I was stoked for her for her future. She was living her dreams. RAD. Needless to say, I'd do anything to make her happy. I fell for her super hard. I fell in love with her. She is my dream, I want her by my side as i conquer this world. She is gets stressed due to school, I think I have handled it well in the past but tonight she was degrading me for not doing anything, but i really was taking care of business. I asked her if she could not speak to me like that. She told me im being to sensitive, I told her I don't like to be belittled by someone i TRULY care for. IT hurts. I told her, I want to be with her, she isn't ready to move on from her past. It hurts her. I know that. I've been willing to wait. But today, she said she'll be sad forever. It torn through me like a million bullets through a piece of college rule lined paper. I thought, maybe i'm not good enough to myself. It hurt me a lot. I even cried because I thought i made her happy. I have invested so much into her. I loved her, cared for her. I haven't even had sexual intercourse with her, and i'm head over-heels for this woman. So i told her, I know I'll never be Her ex-boyfriend. I am me. I am sorry if i can't make her happy, I do everything in my power to. Then i hosed up, I said, He is gone now, but i am here. I told you I'll never leave your side. She gets super angry over that. I didn't mean to upset her. I just wanted to let her know that I AM here NOW. I didn't want to anger her. I just want her, with me. She told me she doesnt want me to talk me and to not right anything and she wants a break from me. And she blocked me from contacting her. I know I am okay, but I know I hosed up. I know how much i care for this girl, how much i love her. I can't think straight, I can't do anything right now. Nothing is making me happy. How in the world can I get past this? Does she really even care for me if she is able to do this over this? I had no bad intention, i just wanted her to know that I am here now and that I wish she'd love me too, because im right in front of her. She was the first one I called and thought of when i got hit on my motorcycle last month. She took care of me during my rough times, Im out of work. Stuck at home. Hurt. And now sad. What do i do? I can't not cry at the thought of losing this girl. I just want to make her happy. I just want to make her smile. WHAT THE gently caress DO I DO. I can't not cry.
