In reply to Back to work after med leave. What do I say?, posted by sfmom on January 15, 2004, at 15:05:14
I wasn't out for 3 months, but I was out unexpectedly for a little over a week, and one of my coworkers had told others that I was on vacation. ha. yep. In the psych ward. I know 3 months for a vacation won't work for you, though, so...
my favorite response was simply "I'd rather not talk about it." and leave it at that.
I hope things go okay for you. I would suspect that most folks won't ask *why* you were out but more along the lines of *how are you doing?*
And do you know for sure that they don't already know the reason for your absence? Word travels fast in the workplace.
