I got in trouble for missing 5 days of work for my grandmas funeral when my manager knew where I was. She expected me to call those days after my days of bereavement leave and regular off days. 3 weeks later, another grandparent just passed and the first thing she asked was if I was going to be at work the next day. No condolences, just cared if I was coming to work. I’ve had multiple problems with this manager and we both don’t like each other. Would this be something i could go to HR for?

Sorry to hear this. If you're leaving the company anyway it may not matter if you inform HR of what happened. Still, you've got a valid reason to do so. That kind of behavior is needlessly cruel and shouldn't be tolerated in any workplace.

Don’t bother going to HR. It’s honestly best to wash your hands of her and the place. Move on to better things and leave that manager in the past.

I remember I was managing some colleagues who were having time off due to being robbed at gunpoint but 3 days later my AM is forcing me to ring them to ask them how soon they'll be back!?

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with that—losing a grandparent is hard enough without feeling pressured at work. Yes, this is absolutely something you can bring to HR, especially since it involves bereavement leave expectations and a pattern of behavior. Make sure you document dates, conversations, and any company policy around bereavement so you can clearly show where the handling felt inappropriate or inconsistent.

I'm so sorry. I lost two of mine pretty close together years ago and it really hurt. I hope you're doing okay, all things considered. Her asking if you would be at work the next day is tasteless, but probably doesn't violate any company policy. But if her behavior during your bereavement leave did, I could see it being worth bringing to HR, especially if you already clash with her. And based on what you've written, you've got good reason to. She sounds awful.

She literally gave me a verbal warning for missing those days. I put in my 2 weeks the next day. My last day for the company is the 26th
