This happened to me. I have no good advice - just a load of empathy. I went back to my hotel for a 30 min power nap before the dinner (said I needed to run errands or finish an important email from the room or something), ate a bunch of crackers so I wouldn’t be hungry, then showed up at the dinner and sipped water. I think I ordered something plain and moved it around on my plate? Idk, I think I’ve blocked it out.

In that case, you might want to call out sick

My tiny firm, 2 partners and myself, doesn't have a maternity or paternity leave policy. When I asked about it, I was told it never came up so they didn't make one.
