An unexpected turn of events unraveled this week, a close family member has passed away the same day I put my two weeks notice in; I'm going to university and plan on working again in the summer, but I'm scheduled to work 5/7 closing shifts both of these last two weeks and there's only normally a 3 person staff including me for closing at my specific store. I mentally feel like productivity wise and the atmosphere on the floor will be awkward, as well as interactions with customers and other members of the staff will be awkward or not as pleasant as my normal day-to-day interactions at work. I'm planning on calling my SM tomorrow to talk to her about my leave being earlier than planned. I do not want to go back with the current state I'm in, it would not be healthy for me and I would not be presenting my staff and its culture in the bright light that I normally do. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts and what steps I should take in this process, I've looked into how the bereavement process works, but with my unique situation I feel uncertain about what's to come since this is the first time someone close to me in my life has passed away.
