When you get bereavement leave, do you claim that the company is "subsidizing" someone's loss and that you need to get an equal amount of leave to offset that?

What if someone has a rash of deaths in their life? Should the company just fire them for having bad luck because they can't afford to give all other employees and extra X amount of days off so that "everything is equal?"
- knorker 10y agoI would hope that bereavement is not a choice, and it's definitely not as time and mind consuming. Parents often refer to it as if it's a second job. And you're not even allowed to take a second job if you have a qualified first job, in my experience. Bereavement leave and sick leave I'm all for, but parenthood is a choice to spend your effort elsewhere.
