It’s like I used to work somewhere and this guys mum (I think) died, he came in did a shift and then took a lot of time off…I think he just needed the normality and time to process.

But don’t you think there’s something wrong that people are conditioned or broke that they have to be like that?

    BTDT. Having a routine is conditioning we do to ourselves, but for so much of life, its the most useful thing ever for so long as we can keep it up.* The trick is to not be further hurt by guilt for failing to continue with it or get back to it quickly enoug/"just so".

    No, I don't think it's wrong for someone to want to focus on something other than tragedy. Work is something simple and productive that you can let your brain focus on.

    Should work be your only outlet? Absolutely not, but there's nothing wrong with using it as one. Humans like to work, period. If it's not to sustain ourselves, we'll invent work to do.

    Yeah, that’s fair enough, but I feel like the OP is disingenous and that the motivation for it comes from this “the business must come first” attitude…a bit like my OHs boss (Company owner) telling her how she should be more dedicated and how he was up til 9pm the night before.
