The article tells a poignant story of a woman who, after experiencing the traumatic murder of her husband during a home invasion, is met with insensitivity from her employer. Despite the tragedy, her district manager's demand for her to return to work just days after the incident exemplifies a lack of compassion and empathy. Ultimately, after a confrontation at work, she decides to quit and never returns, illustrating her need to prioritize her emotional recovery over her job responsibilities.
I was working as an assistant manager for a well-known retail chain (well-known in the southern states). My husband was murdered, and I was injured in a home invasion robbery.
Eight days after the murder, we held a service for him. Just as the service was about to begin, my phone rang.
He became very angry and told me he saw no reason I could not return to work after the service.
Later, I returned to work to throw his store keys at him and quit.
