The American way, maximise profit, destroy any sign of empathy that tries to rise above personal friends/family level. Empathy must not under any circumstances be allowed to infiltrate the corporate structure for it will weaken the Capitalist system.

Give the bereaved tons of paperwork and Sisyphus level tasks to keep them busy while we glean every penny possible from their holdings like we did when America was great. Grieving must be done outside of normal office hours, you have from 5 PM to 8AM for non business matters.

My age has given me the dubious gift of witnessing this scenario over and over and over again. It sucks, it always sucks, a pain that will dull with time but never go away.
CPAs and MBAs are immune to any trace of empathy, or other human weaknesses while working, it's the only thing tw was ever right about.

I know you don't give a shit about my opinion, but I would at least hint to the kids that money is going to be tight in the future. It's only fair to warn them in case worse comes to worst and we dive into another recession.
