PS: Yet more arseness from the boss at work. Laura in our office sadly lost her grandad last week, totally unexpectedly. The funeral is tomorrow and no, she has NO compassionate leave, and has had her pay docked accordingly. She asked the boss about it and he said, 'well you have no leave left do you, and you had the afternoon off last week?' (when she got the news by TELEPHONE and was rather upset). The guy is a git.
