When I worked at Arby’s, a coworker’s mom died in a car accident. She called in the next few days to grieve. Everyone was extremely supportive of her, including me.

When the GM at McDonald’s blew off my every attempt to talk to him, something in me shattered inside. Before I was ever rude to anyone (to protect myself), I cried just like that Arby’s coworker had. People told me to toughen up and then proceeded to look down on me, especially when I couldn’t finish 2 of my shifts bc of my grief.

So why should they care? Idk. Why were they so caring with my Arby’s coworker?
