My Boss Treats the Death of My Grandmother as Equal to That of Her Cat

I’m a female painter in my 30s. Besides being a professional painter, I also work as a freelancer. My grandmother passed away after a surgical operation for a heart condition in 2024.
When I spoke to my boss about the death of my grandmother, she cut in and started talking about her own pet, saying, “My cat died too, and I’m so sad.”
