A TikTok video shared by a woman who says she previously worked at Waitrose has drawn attention online after she described being ignored when she requested time off for a funeral. The video, posted under the username @emmaaaemmaaaemmaaa, has generated hundreds of comments from viewers sharing similar accounts of their own workplace experiences.
In the video, the woman, identified as Emma, said she applied and emailed for time off to attend a funeral but was ignored. She said she then phoned her employer, and her boss “clearly didn’t believe” her, asking who had passed away before responding, “aw sad times then.”
