How much spontaneous time off should be granted to someone whose father is seriously ill

[Ashberto]

in another country?

I know this bloke lives in fear of not being able to get home for his Dad's funeral should he die, as in Macedonia you have to bury the body very quickly, and he is now into his second week over there.

I fear this could cost him his job, as a colleague was recently dismissed for demanding too much time / taking the piss for personal and family reasons.

for f**king paternity leave.Shocking seens.If they've any compassion.......

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

If his absence is going to affect the company's performance it's hardly fair on his colleagues, is it?

Frankly, a gentleman losing his father is entitled to hear the news, take a deep gulp, look through the window for 5 minutes, then get back to work. Different for a lady, of course.

every night. It's a tricky one imo.

[Pat Vegas]

What if he's an English Chap who's father moved to Macedonia?


Highly possible.

Why should Ash lose out on his bonus because the company has underperformed because our Drama Queen chum is doing his grieving widow bit?

[Pat Vegas]

and decided to quit.

the boss man said No don't quit take a break for 3 months go to Holland and have a rest then come back.

So working single highhandedly through this time she came back.
After 2 weeks back she quit and left. :furious: so then you have to add time to employ somebody new then train them.

Boss is to blame here.

[Ashberto]

terrorists into power. He's a good bloke and a very hard worker, though like most Balkan types, it seems, likes a bit of drama and is quick to play the victim card at times.

[Classic Jorge]

Don't get them started by pointing out how that they aren't really in Macedonia, you'll never hear the end of it

[Pat Vegas]

[Curly]

Still,plenty of spare time for the wake

[Berni]

Can't they just call themselves Yugoslavia again? Would be much simpler.

[Pat Vegas]

Everything could be done remotely.

Yet we have to sit at these desks. People are more productive at home imo.

[Ashberto]

every day, all year, you might get a grand or two bonus. f**k that. I get fair pay for the work I do, and that'll do me.

[Curly]

It wasn't even a proper country back in the rampaging homo's day either

[Pat Vegas]

I baffled my old boss saying. would you rather I be efficient and do my job in the time or stay late and kiss your arse.

This was after I deleted my web browsing history.

Nope. I'm happy to consider Macedonians as a distinct nationality. It's only Nic's lot, trying to steal Alexander, that make them be known as Fyromians.

[Ashberto]

LOL!

I'd rather go to an office and leave it all behind at the end of the day.

[Classic Jorge]

[Pat Vegas]

I was off last week.
Was great apart from being sick.

If I had to do anything I would just drive there. Midweek day time driving :cloud9:

Post office. No problem get in the car.

I went through +1 family bereavement in a 12 month period not that long ago and was basically allowed as much time as I saw necessary, during the illnesses and after.

No hard and fast rules for this ****.
