Today, I broke into tears at work after being told my aunt had a stroke. My boss told me to "suck it up, no one is that close to their aunt." My aunt adopted me when my mother passed away. FML

Thanks for all the supportive comments. When I explained to him the situation he apologised and sent me home. I reported him to my senior manager and he has since received a warning for inappropriate behavior. My aunt is doing really well now, they caught it early and they say she will make a 100% recovery. She's talking again as well, but she will have to stay in hospital for a while for monitoring. Reading all the comments made me feel a lot better as well, thank you!

That was very inconsiderate of him and pretty dumb to just assume! A lot of people are close to their aunt.

By the way, your boss is a d-bag.

That's ridiculous. You can be that close to anyone, not just family, and just because his family probably dislikes him doesn't mean all families are that way. And I'm sorry for what happened.

So glad she's doing better. Good job reporting him to HR. No one has the right to tell you how to feel when another takes ill, no matter the relationship!

that is great news, so happy to hear that she's going to make a full recovery. I'm sorry your boss is an idiot, an apology doesn't make up for his ignorance.

He must be gay because as they say, you are what you eat.
