I’m going through a miscarriage and I have a few important meetings/ presentations at work this week. For personal reasons I do not want to tell my employer it is a miscarriage. I also don’t want to say, something came up and I need to take off. I’d like to come up with a plausible excuse of an illness that would happen last minute and require me to miss 3-4 days of work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I really don’t want to hear comments about “just tell them the truth” or “you don’t owe an explanation for missing work”. I know that should be that way, but unfortunately isn’t and I am not at a place I want to test this right now.
