So last week after a bad mental health week, I missed work for two days. I was able to successfully say that I had a family emergency and my father had to go to the hospital. Although I know it’s terrible to lie that way, my dad has had some minor health issues over the past month, including a head injury that required a couple of staples. So the white lie is believable, and when this happened a couple of weeks ago they didn’t really ask too much about the details. As long as I have a reason for him to have gone back to the hospital, I don’t think they would be angry or ask a bunch of questions, just offer their condolences and lay off me.
Basically what I need help with is coming up with a medical reason why my father had to go into the hospital again for a few days. Something a bit serious, but not SO serious that people are super super concerned for my family, (or instigate more on the details), if that makes sense.
This is a job I am actively searching to move away from, if that helps my case at all lol. These people hired me under false pretenses, that I would be heading a department and working full time, just to instead demote me to 15 hours a week “for cost saving measures”. I needed a couple days to myself after having a really depressed and anxiety filled week, which they would not have understood, hence the lie.
If anyone has any family emergency medical excuses that I can say is the reason my dad had to be hospitalized again, please help me out. Again I know it’s terrible to lie about things like this, but hey this is the anti work sub so I thought I would ask for advice.
