My uncle died yesterday, and my manager just asked me if I knew when the funeral was this morning because of scheduling. Is this disrespectful? She didn't even say sorry for your loss or anything

Was she trying to find out so she could give you the day off or rework your schedule so you could go?

No one owes you sorry for your loss at the job. And no it's not disrespectful to ask that

This is what i don't know, I called out yesterday and told my other manager what happened, but to me it sorta feels like ugh when's the funeral because we need people to work.

I'm also a manger but lower level, this is the text she sent me: "hey (my name) its (manager), do you know if you're gonna have a funeral to go to next week at all? (Other manager) and i are just trying to work on the schedule and i didnt want to add you anywhere where there could be a conflict"

That sounds like a pretty manager speak way of saying “hey, I don’t want to put you on the schedule on a day that conflicts with the funeral.” It seems respectful enough, though I can’t say for sure as I lack the requisite information.

It's a pretty close knit job, I've worked there for years and was kind of off put by my coworker for her to say that

Well that's already a problem. People knowing your business when it's none of their business. At work no one owes you anything

Agree with #2. It literally makes it sound like they’re trying to make sure to NOT schedule you so you can go to the funeral. I get her not mentioning any condolences when you want support could sting a bit. But that may have been from outside stress and not her being callous, especially if she’s trying to make sure you have the time you need.
