Sorry for your losses. On the other hand, if my employer offered 45 days of paid time off under certain conditions, I'd do my best to maximize that benefit.
If you worked for a company that actively treated you well, I imagine, in general, you'd want to treat them well in return and wouldn't exploit their kindness beyond need.
Such companies are few and far between, though. Very few. Very far between.
Does anyone maximize the use of sick days? Family care leave? Parental leave? Who is depraved enough to abuse bereavement time?
There's an argument on either side - many companies/employers offer 6 months paid parental leave after a child is born (for both parents), but I haven't seen many people maximizing that benefit by having a child every 12 months.
lmao (honestly) at the humorous implication that buying a goldfish per year and mourning its demise for 9 weeks in cancun is comparable in effort or commitment to birthing and raising a child.
I am almost certain that pet bereavement will require the pet to be an emotional support animal or require some sort of proof of relationship.
