I always think if you treat your staff right as a manager you get it back tenfold. Respect to saints for being a caring employer I say.

Awful news.

Condolences to Flanners and the individuals' family.

Just out of interest would anybody else be able to get time off if a mate died.
I know I couldnt.

Nor could I. In fact, if a parent/other loved one died, they would give time off but not paid.

Nice of Saints to let Flannery go home like that.

Many companies these days write clauses into employment contracts which allow for compassionate leave. It would be a heartless emplyer that doesn't allow staff time off either paid or unpaid under these cicumstances.

Sad news for lego head indeed. And nice to hear the club let him go back home and deal with his grief and be around the folks he needs to be with.

Flannery is back, pretty quick return.
