Just last month I posted about my husband and I having to put our beloved Toby to sleep. My husband took this very hard as this was his "buddy" that he had since he was a kitten. Toby was 17 almost 18 when he passed.
My husband did not handle it well at all and was under emotional duress. I guess he didn't sleep for several days and the day after we put Toby to sleep he reported to work hoping to take his mind off things. Well, he hadn't slept for 2 days and he is a delivery driver. Rather than risk getting into an accident he decided to pull over and take a rest because he was so emotionally drained. He ended up falling asleep for several hours instead of trying to drive. His direct supervisor understood his heart ache and told him not to let it happen again. Well, 3 weeks went by and his corporate office decided that this was not acceptable and they didn't really consider that emotional duress (losing a pet) and they ended up terminating him. How inconsiderate is that. They would rather he risk getting into an accident rather than trying to refresh himself. They wouldn't even give him a warning or anything.
I can't believe people can be so heartless. It is so awful because we had to put our cat to sleep and it caused my husband to lose his job.
