I had to take bereavement for the first time in my career this week for three days for my grandmother‘s funeral, but our company offers up to two weeks for this. Someone else on my team split it up in December so since we’re busy and it was last minute I asked if I could take the rest of the time in June, he said he could give me one day…is it too much to ask for the full amount available? It’s my last family member, my parents have already passed.

First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. I would say that you could ask for the full time. It sounds like they might say no, but there's no harm in at least asking.

One day is simply not enough. I hate working with folk that you have to lie to ti get what you are entitled to. I would take sick leave for a few days then take bereavement later. I would also talk to HR about it too...not to get your lead in trouble but to understand company policy. No one should expect someone to work through a traumatic situation. Thats abuse imo but others may see it differently. Lastly, the other issue is that you asked rather than told them. You gave room for a no when in this situation they should work around you. Good luck and my condolences.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
