I am an employee who appears empathetic and sincere but really does not care who lives or dies at work unless it results in more work for me then I take notice.
I am just there to get money. The less time I have to spend with work-related issues, the better.
I would only go if it would result in a favorable light to receive a promotion or some other benefit. My time is too valuable to bother with non-family/non-close friends being buried.
Heartless maybe, but true.
I wonder if you are my boss.

You’re not as good with that facade as you think you are. BTW, almost everyone feels this way.
As they say in the working world, Fake it till you make it.”

I would have to travel to the West coast, which is not exactly convenient with school starting up that same week. And - of course - I never knew the person.
Would you go? I feel awkward about this.
