No Flowers For Temps


I expected wrongly again but who would think that an office would exempt provision of funeral flowers for deceased temps and/or their deceased immediate families just because of the employment status.

A contractual’s mother just died a few days ago and it was expected that some flowers from the company would be brought to the funeral parlor to show the company’s collective condolences to the deceased family; but the burial was already a day or two ahead and yet, not even a single strand of flower came. The contractual’s own division already pooled their own money and sent a bouquet of flowers a few days earlier but the expectation was that there would be another set of bouquet of flowers from the office but the reply from the Admin was “There is no budget for flowers for contractuals.”

Imagine that?! Just because of the employment status of the bereaved employee, no flowers were allocated. The Admin could’ve passed along an envelope for voluntary donations for the flowers and yet nothing happened until a day before the burial about a week after the date of death of the deceased, the Admin decided to send a bouquet of flowers but it was already too late.
