Sacked Because Dog Died


Recommended Posts

Not related to pets but my wife recently moved job.

If I die then she is entitled to a week off.  if a family member such as parent, Grandparent dies then she is entitled to 1 day off. 

So no people shouldn't get a day off for a pet dying.

We just had to have our cat of 13 years put to sleep a few weeks back and it was quite an upsetting experience. I ended up taking her to the 24 hr vet at 6am, paying an extra £150 for the privilege, because I didn't think the work would sympathise if I said I wouldn't be in in the morning because of the cat. 

The worst thing was seeing the Mrs really upset tbh. We both had to go straight into work after but I couldn't concentrate much for the day. I'd  never want or expect to get the day off though, just one of those things you have to deal with.
