Thursday AM Chat Thread

I am fuming. I thought I’d sleep it off but woke up still angry.

Mr Middle’s right hand person at work who is the only other person apart from his PA that has access to his schedule noticed his late mornings and taking time off abruptly (for ERs and bad days). They’ve asked him about it and he told them. He said that all he said was after my surgery in November we are looking at fertility options. That is still too much fucking information IMO. He was apologetic but said he couldn’t lie. In my view though he protected this person’s feeling to not be lied to over mine not to tell people I don’t interact with. He knows I am an unbelievably private person. I’ve always had an issue with this work/friendship boundary he has with his colleagues. He admitted this crossed the line. He asked me to please not be upset about it and in the moment I just agreed because he has been a superstar throughout this whole thing and has never really disappointed me. But I’m still so fucking pissed - at this person for having the audacity to ask when it in no way affects them, at him for violating my privacy. I mean who the fuck asks their boss a question about their personal life anyway? Like why is it so hard for him to realise his colleagues sometimes just cross the line and he needs to stop.

I am just so sad and hurt today.
