I'll call him S. Technically S isn't my line manager, although he was when I first joined the company a number of years ago. An extra layer of management was slotted inbetween us a year or so ago. I'll call my line manager N. We are a small team.
My mother passed away on Sunday afternoon. I called N on his mobile later that day and he was lovely. Told me to take what time I needed and suggested a week. We exchanged emails a couple of days later and agreed that I would go back to work today and take the fifth day for the funeral.
N popped round to my desk within about five minutes of getting in. Chatted for a few minutes, made sure I was ok and to say (again) how sorry he was.
S, however, hasn't said anything about it at all. Saw him a couple of times in passing and also spent lunchtime at the pub with the rest of the team. Not even a token 'are you ok'. AIBU to think this is odd? I'm a little hurt actually. I know it's not easy and can be a bit awkward sometimes as you don't want to cause any upset, but ignoring it completely?? Shouldn't a senior manager sometimes just bite the bullet and do difficult/awkward things?
I may be overreacting, it was a harder day than I'd envisaged. So I thought I'd ask the mn jury, so I can stop dwelling on it if I am.
