My last roommate had an employer whose son died. The employer had a stark change of personality and started checking in on his workers more to make sure they were okay, getting paid enough, receiving the career benefits. It was a small company so not unusual to have dialogue like that.

My roommate invited friends over and they roasted this idiot dead-son guy becoming a total homosexual and pussy for considering that they might need to be compensated more. In 2023. In a location experiencing a rent crisis. One month in I realized I had moved in with a psychopath. Two more months later I was gone. Would have been sooner but I was in a crisis myself and had no options
