S4 07 | Death in the workplace - a podcast by ABC Radio

How do you balance the death of someone close to you with going into work? Can you show emotion? What if a colleague loses someone? Is it okay to talk about it? And what are your leave rights?

Butcher Leanne tells the story about a customer literally dying to make a point about lamb chops. Indigenous comedian and actor Steven Oliver talks about taking time off work for funerals. TED Talker Michelle Knox discusses how her own dad's death led to a more supportive culture in her office.

Plus - what NOT to say to a colleague (e.g. "at least (anythin')!" is not advised.
