Manager told the team I was off with ‘the shits’

As above. I had to call in sick today with suspected food poisoning - I hate taking time off but I had no choice and have been horrendously ill all day.

My friend has messaged me to say that on the team buzz, someone asked when I was expected back and my manager said ‘shouldn’t be too long, it’s only a dose of the shits’.

Now I might be a bit more tetchy than normal given how unwell I feel, but that’s a line crossed isn’t it? For context, there will have been anything from 15-20 people on that call and a mix of genders, some who I really don’t know all too well.

That’s so inappropriate I would definatley complain and in writing (via email) so it’s documented. Hope you feel better now
