Also, my son had eye surgery three days ago and she has yet to ask about him…been working for her for over 20 years. Also told her two weeks ago that I have to be hospitalized for 5 days next week for migraine iv therapy…has yet to speak to me about it. Feel like I’m working for a stranger all of a sudden. Feel lost with a sense of doom.

Over 20 years? Time to put in for retirement?

Im sorry for the obstacles homie. Keep canoeing. Im sorry for the assholes in comments. Keep canoeing. You are loved. Keep canoeing.

"I'm sorry I'm unavailable then". It's really not that hard

The boss only cares about your job and your results, not you. Don't make it complicated by expecting empathy or compassion.

Communication works both ways. If you're out for the day, say that. Need to confirm your time off? Do that. Leave feelings out of business.

Reply back to her invite and tell her that you're going to be out that entire day for bereavement.

Thanks for asking. He’s doing pretty well considering and I’ll let you know how the treatment goes…last resort.

It's not your boss's job to be your friend or even care about your family. Maybe they're under more stress than you're aware, have you asked

It's not OPs job to be their boss's friend either. A good boss should be aware of their employees general well-being. That's a 1 way street.

Uh

It’s unusual for her not to ask about my son or talk about my upcoming absence considering our existing relationship over 20 years but ok
kimbaloo
And it’s a weird move to ask about HER stress considering your first point. I am expecting empathy, not friendship.

Empathy from your boss? Hahahahahabaha

yeah it's some strange simping for authority. Besides, managing things like this *IS* the job of a manager.
