I live in a medical facility and have seen this happen TWICE. One nurses husband died and forced her to work less than a week after when she was supposed to get a month off and they held her pay. The other was an RT and her ex died in a car accident while she was working. They were still in love and gotten the divorce a month prior. She was forced to work the whole time. She got lucky that his funeral was on her day off. Unrelated but a CNA was murdered by her ex and the staff and patients sent cards and condolences to her family. She had JUST given birth three weeks prior. Did management do anything or even acknowledge her death? Nope. They didnt even know her name. Mind you, these are the same managers who hire people and say the red flag line of "we look out for each other. we're family here!"

It still happens today. My wife worked at Kroger and told me that even if someone died in your family and you called out of work the same day, they would still mark you absent and go toward your call-out days. She even told me someone got into a car accident on the way to work and they still marked them as such. Even if you got sick, COVID, for example, they said a doctor's note would not do anything. My wife was sick for two weeks with COVID, and because of that, they were on the verge of firing her for "missing too many days of work". She eventually got tired of their policies and quit on the spot because they were going to fire her if she showed up.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have children before and had a total hysterectomy several months after he died. It’s been 13 years and still hurts. I have so much sympathy for this man and his fiancé. Jumping from the greatest joy to unimaginable grief. It may mean well, but please, don’t ever say “*Child’s name* is better off in heaven”; “God needed another angel”; “You’ll eventually get over it”; “You can adopt or become a foster parent”, or anything like those examples. It isn’t helpful.

It’s bad when they immediately recommend adoption or foster care for these people trying to have kids or can’t have any at all. They need to realize not everyone has the patience or money for that. We all know foster kids are usually traumatized and it truly takes people with the patience of a saint to deal with them. As for adoption. You never know where that child came from especially if it’s international. They admitted in some countries they are stealing babies and children from women and lying that they died.

[@Nijilove78]

Yes, it hurts. I lost a child in 2021 when I was pregnant… I say the only positive in a child passing is that they go right to God’s arms and don’t experience the harshness of this world. It was nice to experience the child while they were here.

Lastly in 2003 I lost my daughter at 3 days old to a heart defect and a shitty hospital with disgusting people working there that didn't care about that little baby, I could never smile so big like that guy about talking about her passing, it was traumatic. It's also something I wouldn't tell someone I just met either, you would have to know me for awhile for me to want to talk about it. No not everyone is anything like me, but I agree I dunno how you can smile and be happy like that unless there are other things like using it gain sympathy or if it were true well not every father cares about their kid(s), again from personal experience with my own dead beat dad who took out insurance on me hoping I die before him so he can make money off me, no joke, we have had no relationship for 15 years but he has life insurance on me. He hates my wife and kids he would never give it to them...

A few years ago, I was put on a performance plan three days after my grandmother died. They treated me and other employees horribly. A few weeks ago they went out of business and I can't say I feel too too bad for them.

[@roberthurley6860]

I was a supervisor for over a 100 people before retiring and my policy always was "life comes first" when it came to scheduling issues. And that served the company I worked for well, as it did my team.

[@YoSuhDude]

I just can’t believe how this dudes smile seems to light up a room. That’s crazy to go thru so much and still seem so level headed and happy on the surface. He’s right it’s all about having a good attitude towards life at all times.

[@adamtimson8046]

Lost my daughter we had a still birth last year and i still cant speak about it now (in person). I hope this man gets all the luck in the world i know exactly what hes going through and im not as strong as him it took me months to even leave the house.

[@creepjax]

Even while talking about how his newborn daughter died he smiled. This man has a heart of steel.

[@nickr.2850]

Companies really act like we should care about work more than anything else in our lives. I got fired a couple days before i was planning to take a leave of absense and go to an in-patient treatment center because my depression and anxiety got unmanageable. But because of that and bills i had to try to find a new job first and im still looking, and still insane. Cheers!

[@tomjohnson5191]

I like seeing kindness like that. We are bombarded with a litany of negativity.

[@brianr5919]

That is absolutely the worst thing I have ever heard in my life they say losing a child is the worst thing that can ever happen to someone. I can't imagine how I would be if I lost either of my girls. The boss that fired him should be absolutely ashamed

[@rogerslightom539]

I know from experience that it's so devastating to lose a child. I was lucky to work somewhere that understood and supported me. From my experience investigating companies, I just want to add that the company may not have known what really happened. More often than you can realize, lower level managers do unspeakable things and never caught. Whomever was responsible is truly a heartless monster.

[@christinedowie2859]

So glad someone with a heart helped this grieving couple to find some happiness and maybe a distraction from such a terrible ordeal. ❤

[@nathangursky4628]

I am going to be a father for the first time this Thanksgiving. My wife and I have tried for a long time now- pre covid. We finally were blessed and we both are so excited. Until about five months ago, I never was able to truly empathize what it would be like to go through what this man has. I pray they were able to find peace and acceptance with their tragedy. And if everything that he said was true about being terminated, after his daughter's death, just so the rich big shots get richer, people need to collectively 'cancel' whoever it is. Absolutely disgraceful.

[@ayishas4385]

Congrats! Just to point out something -- you say you're "going to be" a father, but I want to acknowledge that you already ARE a father. You've fathered a child; the participation in giving that child life has already happened, and the child already exists with his or her own unique DNA, and from now on will just get bigger. But obviously, a lot of the FUN of being a father, and the part that will make an impact on your son or daughter's development in future life, is going to start when you hold and kiss and play with the baby, and that's the part that you'll really get to start enjoying around Thanksgiving. Blessings on you and your wife & baby!

[@OTTOSO412]

Ayisha's reply was beautifully put, wishing you the best for fatherhood and for all the memories you will make with your child

[@user-mz7ov3pz7j]

So sorry 😞 😢you lost your baby girl. You deserve good things in life, always. Wishing you and your future wife a happy and healthy life. To the guy that gave you the money, you are a gem. 😊 Thank you for showing such compassion towards this man. God Bless you. 😊❤

[@missk2559]

God bless this man. May he get everything he deserves in life & true happiness

[@talullahlabelle]

This lovely young man just reminded me of ‘Richie Cunningham’, Happy Days!! Still smiling when in the face of adversity! 👍👏😎

[@julesrulz11]

For this young man to be still smiling through all that he is just so strong. If my child passed I would be so broken. God bless you young sir and your wife to be and to the boss what a champion. Tears 😢are streaming down my face still.

[@87yugo74]

For a person that went thru such tragic can mange to find a smile and happiness is amazing.

[@afrodemon8629]

I don't have kids but anytime I hear about someone who's lost their child I always get choked up. I can't imagine that type of pain.

[@andrewtongue7084]

There really are some unpleasant bastards on this planet - Karma will pay them out. What a decent & empathetic Boss....More power to your elbow, young fella - I wish you & your fiance a brighter, happier future...

[@richardharmon647]

I wish he would tell what company it was that fired him for not coming in when his daughter died. If I knew I would boycott them.

[@dustinsmith4741]

This is the strongest man I’ve ever seen! Somehow that strong man can smile & doesn’t seem to hold a grudge!! That man is an inspiration!!!

[@veritasnumquamperit1421]

his smile and energy are inspiring

[@SirStoneHD]

I haven't experienced his loss but did lose my little sister to a fire. Im still devastated, but i put on that same smile everyday at work. Respect for this man. Its tough puting on a show, but hurting inside.

[@lorrieg.2607]

Omg, what a lovely person, So positive even after all that he’s gone through “just me” so incredibly humble ❤

[@LeafsAndCars]

Belated condolences to the little girls family. Rest in peace angel.

Humble

[@everybody_5olo]

"What you're willing to do for just me" oh my heart! You're never 'just' anything! You're amazing! That poor man.

[@jennyporraz]

That’s so sad employers have absolutely no compassion today I am glad I am no longer in The workforce,

[@JohnJacksonJohnson]

That's why I'm ready to become a manager that has a heart of gold. You're late to work because your kid was puking their guts out? It's fine. Water under the bridge. These things happen: just drive safe and be at work when you can. When I was out on kidney surgery, work didn't call me up like "are you better yet? Are you better yet? Are you better yet?" Essentially, "take your time recovering".

[@Pan-13]

My cousin was fired the day his younger sister passed away. Literally a few moments before she passed. He has never recovered since then and his life quality has severely worsen. I hope one day he gets back on his feet. I'll do as much as I can to help. Thanks for showing that some people still have a big and open heart.

[@julienelson421]

What an amazing young man. I hope he and his lady somehow manage to live happily ever after.

[@diddlebug7241]

That’s corporate America for you they could care less about employees. All they care about is $$$$$.

[@sashasabbeth6836]

I am so happy for this radiant young man

[@amurry1030]

That guy has a great attitude, but you can definitely sense that he puts forth great effort in that great attitude to help ease the suffering that comes from losing a child. I'd be irreparably broken if I lost one of my children. May God bless this man and his family.

[@Revenant-BotsOfDeath]

For him to still smile man he tough wish him all the best and hopefully if they try for a baby in the future when they are ready strong blessings to keep all of them safe and healthy

What a terrible thing to do to someone. I agree name and shame the company who fired him. Wonderful undercover new boss who obviously looks after his hard working staff.❤❤❤

[@user-mr8ep9lv1i]

It happens all the time. I flew to my new grandson's arrival as he only weighted 2lbs 12oz. The next day I received a cowardly text telling me I had to come back to finish month ending or I was fired. I said "I''ll take fired" from a crazy narcistic boss. I had to get police to escort me into the business to get my personal belongings because she refused to return them. That slug was a demonic spoiled brat! Best part was seeing her face when I arrived with cops! No body had ever questioned her authority. She took the company into bankruptcy & even called me to borrow money????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡👹👹👺👺

[@Lilkidlover69]

"Oh your daughter just passed away? You're fired." Wow, such a great society people created here.

[@SamAceRothstein]

It's so hard to maintain a positive attitude when life just keeps shitting on you, but this young man somehow manages to do it. May good fortune smile upon him and his family, and respect to his new boss for being so thoughtful and kind.

Where are the Good, kind, and passionate companies/ managers/ management that would be this generous, sympathetic, and Understanding of a worker like this or any other kind?

[@snake9911]

When he said that Karma does exist, I can think of an occasion something happened to me. I was working at a retirement and nursing home and the kitchen director was told to cut back on employees because of to many. I had been there longer than these two teenage kids. They kept them but got rid of me. One was only 15 years old at the time a was working past the time allowed when the school year started. I called the state and reported it. I found out that they got in a lot of trouble and fined thousands of dollars. I got back at the woman who canned me. Ha ha.

[@userunknown1578]

I remember one time I was working in a restaurant years ago and said "Have a wonderful day" to some lady that was leaving... She completely ignored me. I watched her walk and trip in the middle of the parking lot. Karma works in mysterious ways.

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Such a sad and then uplifting story. No human life regardless of how young or old is worth less than the dollar bill. It's unfortunate these large companies have the power to fire you for anything without exploring all the aspects and violating the company's mission statement just to make that one extra dollar.
