Nothing. Just that you'll be offline for a couple of hours and will return when you get back.
Gastro-intestinal distress. No one ever asks more.
" I have some personal matters to attend to that will require me to be off-site/offline for a few hours." This will suffice. If they press on what it is, you can just say you have financial matters to attend to. Neither of the above is a lie, if you think about it.
Who in their right mind would tell their (likely male) team they have a UTI? No need to get into specifics like that about your health.
The more specific you get into a lie, the more obvious it becomes to me that you are lying.
Just say you have a personal emergency
Broken laptop and have to go into the office
Friends bachelor or birthday party
Return calls and emails
I've definitely alt travelled to the doctor before.
@K2, "made you" aka invaded your privacy. Managers like that are a pain
@K2. If I were you, I would have said exactly what P2 said. "It is a private health matter. I am happy to explain it to HR if you connect me"
That's pretty messed up, K2. I would never ever want to talk about my UTI to a male superior.
Urgent carw
*care
Girl or guy? Say urinary tract infection if girl.
@D3 my manager made me tell him about my UTI bc he said my "excuses were bs" 🙄
@A1 @P2 just got off a call with my PML where she asked me why I was insubordinate and noncooperative when he was "only trying to help me" 😒
Stay at a far hotel and forget the charger that no one else on the team has. That should buy a couple hours
@D3 right? 😒
