‘I've stopped using exclamation marks when responding to emails from my boss’: When a boss told an employee to “get over” their mother’s death, the employee’s response left the internet thrilled

There’s a story circulating on Reddit, and it’s striking a nerve for good reason. The Reddit user had just lost their mum. Grief is hard enough as it is, but doing it while continuing to show up to work every day makes it even harder. But it's not just the loss itself; what pushed their situation from painful to almost unbearable was their boss’ reaction to it.

He told the employee to get over it. He said their mother's death was creating more work for him.
