What do I say to work?

I am planning to take a week holiday for my breast enlargement but I know all the girls at work will ask why I’m having time off. Unsure on what to say to them as its quite personal, and they aren’t fans of ‘fake boobs’. Help 🙁

Whatever you want. holiday left you need to use. a family matter you cannot really discuss … ;). Whatever you feel comfy telling them.

I would just say doing home improvements/DIY/decorating.

They probs won’t ask or go into detail of your plans, don’t worry lol! x

I told my boss I needed a minor op that could be anything from cervical cells removed etc, it’s none of there business really do don’t worry x

I just said I had a minor op x

I just said I’m having an op, and they was like oh what’s that for, and I said ‘I don’t want do talk about it’ and they never asked again 🙂

I’m in the same position and still wondering what to say, I booked my time off its just that when I get back and I can’t lift anything I have no idea what to say. They’re like my extended family but they’re all quite old so I know they’ll judge me. But I’ll feel bad for lying :/ xxx

Just say you have back/spine issues and your physiotherapist dont want you to lift or move anything around for atleast 3 weeks. xx

Luckily I have two female managers so just told them the truth but a minor op is a good excuse 🙂 x

Nothing! I left work before Xmas a 34B & returned today a 34E…..no one is any the wiser! x

I’m worrying about this too as I’m a nurse and wont be able to lift anything heavy for a while, I have taken two weeks holiday for it. X

I booked a week off work and then said i would be working from home for a week. I was really getting myself worked up about what i would say to my team. It was mostly the two most senior members of my team both male and both like father figures to me.
I wrote an email explaining I was having cosmetic surgery (and i would say no more) but that that is the reason i wouldn’t be in or would be quiet/not very active when i came back. They guessed what i was having straight away and have been super cool about it. I worried for nothing.

Try not to worry about it too much ladies. I’m sure your colleagues will be fine and if they judge you or dont like what your doing its there problem!!

its no ones bizz not even ur manager if u have holiday left its legaly urs…. i just said i want to book 2 weeks holiday as i have like 5 weeks left she said yer sure no questions asked and im in retail

i run a buisness and if any of my staff asked me for time of its none of my buisness i wouldnt ask them what its for even more so if they said it was for a mionor op… but ,,, obvously if they were unable to lift things up i would just expect someone to just say sorry im unable to lift things for however long just so i would know not to ask them to do it. but id never ask them y they cant lift things
