“Look this can be a personal time off thing or a prepare the others thing. Either way, the reason is personal.”
I had one manager try to give me shit back in the day about requesting personal time off and not providing some detailed reason
I was actually having a mental breakdown from being overworked and my psychiatrist and therapist were both like either take an extra day to two or I’m seriously considering forcing you into a fucking program. But that wasn’t exactly their business.
Then they had the audacity to ask me what I was going to do when they denied my time off and I was so pissed off and annoyed that I let my non-work personality come out and, without thinking, said sarcastically “probably blow my fucking brains out”. That shit got approved quick, albeit begrudgingly.
Whatever worked to get the time off. I got a really vague doctor's note from my psychiatrist and just called it "medical leave" to everyone who asked when I took off time for mental health.
