I called in this morning so I can go visit with family since my grandmother passed yesterday and my boss says, "I'm so sorry about your grandma but we are really short handed and I need you to come in if at all possible"... WTF.. What do I do?

Don't go in. My family is more important than my job, they'll just have to understand that.

Although its really tough, you shoul go to work, they can fire you for calling in.

FMLA only covers immediate family members, too.
