LSU’s OC’s daughter-in-law killed one plane crash on the way to game today.

That is horrible. I feel so bad for that entire family.

Terrible.

Absolutely horrible news.

Sure isn't hindering LSU's offense. 49-14 almost halftime.

Damn. Honestly, if it was my OC, I would send the guy packing to get back to his son.

I told my wife that if anything happens to our kids, nothing is more important than them. What he did is what is wrong with America imo. You shouldn't be defined by your job. That dude worked instead of mourning his daughter.

This quote is pretty fucked if you ask me too intensity

Our thoughts and prayers out to him. Steve and his wife, his family are so distraught. Steve is a man. He knows how to handle things," Orgeron said.

There is no right or wrong way to mourn.

Cliche that means nothing aside.... Being in a place where you offer no availability for contact for support to your son whose wife just died may actually be the wrong way

Pure speculation but I would guess he talked to his son and offered to be there in a minute. I would also guess his son said "Dad I will be ok for the day, go to work and get to the title game. I will see you tomorrow."

Like I said, there is no right or wrong. Families just cope the best that they can.

I don’t know about this situations details either but I would argue that there 100% is a wrong way and that cliche is bullshit to cover when people would prefer their sport ball games happen regardless of the outside world. There absolutely is a “wrong way”

Again, I'm sure father and son talked. If this is the way they chose to handle it who are you to tell them they are wrong?

Are you though? We don’t know that. And if they didn’t, which we don’t actually know, that would be a wrong way, yes? Which invalidates the cliche. There is in fact a wrong way.

You're reaching now. Of course I don't "know" that they talked but c'mon. You think a plane crash killed the guys daughter in-law and he didn't bother to call? Or the son didn't call his Dad?

I guess it would one thing thing if the son called and said he needed his father and the Dad said sorry I have a football game. I just doubt that's the way it went down.

Either Travis or Duffy has to be a man and end this dsf.

I can see both sides to this one. I experienced a loss this year and took a day off to mourn.

Had another colleague come into work the day one of her parents passed away. She said it helped her and I get it.

The issue that I have is that I feel like upper management saw her as possibly being more dedicated to the job or it creates a situation where she could have a leg up on me for coming into work on this difficult day. I guess in short my main concern is upper management could say employee x took a day off to mourn leaving the department with extra work where employee y came into work and helped us stay productive. If this shit factors into performance evaluation that's kind of fucked up.

What you need to do is hire someone to kill your least favorite family member and then show up to work instead of staying home to mourn.

Easier said than done...there's something incredibly permanent about death that I have a tough time dealing with. I wish I could just go to work when a loved one drops dead but I have a hard time accepting that they are gone forever and here I am on this big beautiful blue planet without them.

Just a difference of opinion.

Greenway you figured out what dsf is!

Be a man and go kill someone.
