Just say diarrhea. No one ever questions diarrhea.
This is the functional advice I’m looking for, thank you
He’s your manager. Your boss. He has the right and responsibility to others to know what you’ve accomplished and what you’re working on. “If there’s nothing going on,” your manager might decide that you’re no longer needed … and you can be home everyday. Respect the position. Demo your value. Or quit.
OP - there’s no mandatory In-office requirement, you still go in, and your manager STILL hounds you over “where you’ve been”???? Okay yeah this on them, not you.
Bad assumptions:
- the relationship between OP and the commenter
- that the commenter is male
Further assumptions: that the poster is allowed to WFH and is following the company guidelines to do. The post makes it sounds like he/she/they decided to do so on their own. And many responders quickly jumped to their side. Sorry folks, but WFH options are now being replaced with RTW, time clocks, corporate over site, and accountability of work and time. But you are free to find another employer if you don’t like it.
Depending on who told me that, I might say "so nice to see you too!" :)
