What is the name of your state? South Carolina
I work in local government.
My boss committed suicide 8 months ago, in his office (right next to mine).
He told me before he did it that he was going to, and I didnt believe him. Then he did it.
At first, after his death, I declined any kind of counseling, thinking that the feelings I was having were "normal" feelings anyone would have after an event such as this.
I requested counseling 3 months ago.
My employer is now pretty much ignoring my request for counseling. My primary doctor has put in writing to my employer that she feels that I am having post traumatic stress syndrome, or survivors guilt. This letter went ignored as well.
After the death, there was no mandatory counseling, no one received any. Some of the employees were the ones who broke the door open to find him, but they werent required any kind of counseling.
Is my employer negligent?
