Is it wrong that I'm not going to pay for my employees travel arrangements to go to his father's funeral?
Would it make them sad?
No, I don't give a shit about the guy anyway.
As a Boss it is pretty expected by most people that you give them time off, but I don't see why anyone would think that you have to pay for their travel arrangements. It would be nice, but isn't expected.
It's up to them to quit. I'm not going to take care of some slob and his family.
A lot of people would say that you're acting more like a warden than a boss right now, and you might struggle to make friendships this way. Why not be a little bit more kind to those who work under you?
