Ehh call in sick day of and take the day. Everyone deserves a mental health day and if they micromanage that much this will just stress you out before during and after the interview

Team loves to micromanage so this isn’t super easy that they’ll just let me take time off

like

“Hi team, I need to take [whatever time/day] off due to a personal issue that’s come up. I will be unavailable via phone or email until [whenever] and will respond as soon as I am able. Thank you for your understanding.”

Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.
