"Even If Your Mother Died, You Should Have Come to Work Briefly"... Civil Servant's Post Draws "Furious Comments" from Office Workers [What Do You Think?]

[Financial News] A civil servant faced fierce backlash after posting that he could not understand why a coworker did not come to work after his mother's death. He further invited criticism by maintaining a defiant stance, asking, "Shouldn't public and private matters be kept separate?"
Recently, a post appeared on an online community saying, "How can someone who does not even understand what it means when one's mother dies become a civil servant who handles government affairs?"
Person A, who identified himself as a civil servant, said, "This is the first time someone at my workplace has lost their mother, so I'm asking: Is it really normal to send only a message notifying people of the death and not come to work?"
He continued, "I think the right thing to do is come in briefly, even if only to wrap up your work before leaving," arguing that employees should briefly come to work to organize their duties even after suffering a bereavement.
Office workers fiercely criticized his suggestion that a coworker who had lost a family member should come to work and organize the tasks assigned to them.
Despite the criticism, Person A did not back down. He countered, "Doesn't that cause harm to coworkers? Shouldn't public and private matters be kept separate?"
He added, "I'm not saying the person should come to work and perform their regular duties. I'm saying they should come in, even briefly, just to organize their work," maintaining his position to the end.
Netizens who saw the post lashed out: "Isn't he thinking this way because he has no affection for his family? Or is he just lacking intelligence?" "He has no empathy, and it would be a headache to have someone like that as a boss." "Does it make any sense to tell someone to go to work when their mother has died? How can you work as a civil servant with that kind of mindset? If your parents died, would you go to the community service center and issue documents for people?"
