Does my boss really have the authority to make me tell him why my coworker is absent?

So our boss stops by each location once a month right? And my coworker has been absent alot and the last couple of times he has been while the boss has been down. Well it's medical reasons so I really don't want to say why to him as it's not my business to say, I would expect the same respect from my coworkers. My boss pressured me to say something and I kept telling him my reason as to why (note, he has my coworker's number and could easily call and ask what's up). This last time he said he has the authority to ask and I have to answer because now I'm keeping secrets about his store. This doesn't make sense to me because all he has to know from me is that my coworker called in, this is something happening outside the store and again is not my…

Bosses that feel the need to get involved in employee’s personal lives.

These type of bosses really just need to go away. They don't need to be in your personal business. Say that you call out because you have an emergency or need to leave work because of an emergency. Why do they feel the need to be like “what's going on? What's so important that you need to call out or leave work?” Like dude, just butt out. I have a freaking emergency going on and need to deal with it ASAP. It's none of your freaking business. I have two lives. A work life and a personal life. They need to be separate. Absolutely no need for them to be together.
