My condolences!
And you're right. It's really inappropriate to learn such things through FB. It should've been told in person.

Some more good work related news - found out one of the managers I hate (and used to be one of my main managers) got promoted and won't be working here anymore.![]()
)It's no coincidence those are always PROMOTED, and not reduced in rank or something like that. (gedegradeerd in Dutch, but too lazy to use googel to have it translated.)
