I left work early today and I keep overthinking if my workplace will think badly of me
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just joined over a month ago so maybe that’s why I’m overthinking. But around 4pm today, my husband called me to say his grandfather passed away and he’s gna get a ticket to fly for the funeral tonight.
Of course this just shocks me and I told my manager what happened, & that i want to leave and be with my husband till he leaves for the airport.
My husband family lives abroad and it’s a 4hr flight away. So the flight is for 10:35pm and we probably need to be at the airport by 8.
All I could think about at the time was to rush home, be with my husband, help him pack his stuff, be with him till the airport.
I can’t come obviously bcos i’m on probation and I have no leaves. & it’s also expensive to buy 2 tickets last minute like this.
My husband has boarded now and I’m just on my way home from the airport, & I just kept overthinking if my colleagues is going to think badly of me for leaving work early when I won’t even be attending the funeral? You get what i mean?
it’s just probably out of the ordinary because if any relatives of mine in SG passed away i’ll probably leave to go to the funeral and if they’re close, take compassionate leave even if it’s unpaid.
but do you think they will talk rubbish that i left early when the funeral is not even in sg and i’m not even attending it?
