I think the issue is that it comes off as egregiously woke.

Feelings are woke. Caring about anything or anybody is woke.

It's woke to grieve important members of your household? You don't think that's a little reactionary?

It makes no sense as a policy.

It makes no sense until it happens to you and your manager doesn’t give a shit.

Does it expand to all pets? If I have 10 small dogs I could easly get an extra 1 week/year off. What about reptiles, fish. My girlfriend's cat?

Again, it doesn't exist because it makes no sense.

"Woke" makes absolutely zero sense here. I think the word you're looking for is "sensitive".

Anything you don’t like is woke. No sexist jokes in office? Woke. Bro culture is frowned upon? Woke. Can’t make jokes about gay and black people? Woke, woke, woke.
