[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 968598, member: 88961"] Firstly, had you been granted time off for your appointment before this interaction? If so, was that in writing? You didn't need to disclose your condition if you didn't want to. Had I been in your shoes, I would have said I had a check-up I need to attend every few months. If that was the first your manager heard about your need for time off, then, bearing in mind the short notice, I don't think it was unreasonable of her to enquire how important the time off is - especially if the company has a policy for such things. Without knowing what your job is and if others are impacted by a very short notice absense, it's difficult to assess how reasonable or unreasonable your manager was being. If after saying you had an appointment she wanted more information, I would have been inclined to say that I didn't feel it was necessarily appropriate to discuss in the group situation, so could it be dealt with immediately after the meeting. That might have given you a little time to consider how you might have managed her. [/QUOTE]
