Can't say I blame the bereavement guy. Nearly every firm in the United States has an unacceptably stingy PTO policy.

In this instance (and most of the similar instances), if he needed the day off, he would have gotten it with fairly minimal notice. Without pay if he had used up his available PTO, yes, but so was the bereavement.

I agree, most companies don't offer enough PTO.
