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!

And your boss is an asshole. Here's to hoping your aunt has a great recovery.

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

That's pretty harsh. No boss should say that and he/she doesn't have the right to comment on your personal life. Either he/she comforts you and gives you days or shuts up.. Gosh

Wow that's so mean... But I'm glad you explained it to him but still he should go out and say stuff like that in my opinion he should be fired... But that's just me.. Or put on some sort of forced leave, because the pain of losing anyone is major no matter what the relationship is.. And he had no right to say what he did but I'm happy your aunt is ok
