To think if a male manager refuses to talk about women’s health..

[LeopardWellies]

Then they actually should not be a manager?!

For background, I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis after 20 odd years of horrific periods and being fobbed off by various GPs and nurses. I chose to have a laparoscopy and before I went off work my manager just would not talk about it with me and would say “oh it’s personal, you don’t need to tell me”.

In other words, I don’t want to talk about your periods because I am a man-child.

This is a rhetorical Q because I know I am not unreasonable in my opinion 🤣

He’s had a result.

OP: AIBU?
MN: Yes.
OP: No I'm not.

It’s the right thing. Better for you.

and definitely better for him. Not saying that to be rude. But when someone on a team really dislikes their manager, because they won’t manage in their preferred way, moving teams is the only answer.

Usually this means the extremely hard work person is moved sideways and it’s presented as a positive for them.

At the request of one of their direct reports? Never seen that?

The direct report is the one moved.

Op is the one moving sideways

I misread @MississippiAF's post as the hard working person and thought she meant the manager 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry, should have gone to Specsavers...

Why on earth would you presume that?

Thank the lord.
I'm sure he'll be relieved.
Try and keep things more professional with your next line manager.

I’m guessing if the manager had said anything, the OP would be here complaining that he was prying into a personal and sensitive medical issue.

You have quite the chip on your shoulder about this guy, OP.
