my boss is similar
my mother in law was in hospital with lung cancer, untreatable, and basically she was there to die as comfortably as possible. She only weighed about 6 stone by the end.. ( diagnosis to death approx 3 months ) I left work each day at 3.30pm to pick up my non driving hubbie and go to the hospital to sit with her till bedtime. After 2.5 weeks of this my vile hateful arsewipe of a boss actually said to me " aint she dead yet? You told us she was dying two weeks ago".

Gets worse, my own father was in and out of hospital a year after,and being his only local relative I always had to be there.. he was 88 and suffered from dementia so I was needed to tell them what they needed to know and keep their grubby care home hands off him. Same arrangement, left work at 3.30 after working my lunch so boss was only losing under an hour of my time each day...and ive worked here for almost 20 yrs too. Tight fisted arsehole hope he rots in hell for all eternity... only gave me 2 paid days off to arrange the funeral, rally the family,have the funeral clear out his flat and sort out all the probate stuff. Lucky for him he didnt ask " is he dead yet".
One day i plan on watching his demise... while applauding and laughing. It's all that keeps me here.. that and the nice wages and the massive rut you have made after 20yrs in the same job. Spurs fan..... the cunt.
