Why would M say that?!


When M says to Bond "May I remind you that Blofeld's dead, the least we can expect from you is plain solid work!" Isn't that very mean since Blofeld killed his wife in the previous film OHMSS. What do you guys think?

“This department is not concerned with your personal problems” - M

In the novels, anyway, M is characterized as a tough, no-nonsense, play-through-the-pain sort of man, one who doesn't believe in too much coddling. In his own way, he's trying to help Bond by being blunt with him: "The man's dead, there's work to be done, get on with your job and do it."
