Bitchy, Nosey colleagues

I’m taking 10 days off in September, which is basically unheard of in my company and they’re all gonna want to know why, what I’m doing etc. I do NOT want to tell them, because my colleagues are very bitchy and catty and will bring up any shortcomings or gossip whenever they can.

What has everybody told work? I really don’t want them to know, but just saying nothing is not an option because they will dig and dig and we only work in a small office!

Just say your going away or something like that, will they not notice your new additions tho when you have had them done xxx

Could you not just say your going on a late holiday? And if they question your new additions say it’s just a very good bra lol? X

Hahahahah that’s a good idea, say your wearing a wonder bra 😀 xxx

Yeah I thought about saying a holiday but then it’s quite an elaborate lie. They will notice because they’re like hawks. Will notice if I’m in pain or covering up more or stiff. I think it might be my best option.

Hiya Abbee,

I’m new on the forum and your post caught my eye. I think if you say you’re on holiday, won’t they ask to see holiday photos when you go back to work, that could be awkward!? Xx

Ooorrrr, don’t give them the pleasure and be honest. Be proud as they will notice and will be jealous:) so take away that power from them, go in and say “what do you think of my new toys?!” Lol. Give them names or something.. As you said they will notice (if they don’t it’s either not worth the surgery/money/pain or they are dumb and blind).
At least you won’t give them More reason to gossip. If you deny it, it will only give them more reason to gossip. I know exactly the type. Tell them afterwards.. As they will only try to put you off beforehand.

How big are u going? In clothes many people don’t look hugely different…unless you are having bazookas! You could just say u found some great boost bras…You could say you are having an operation for women’s issues or a shoulder operation to tidy up some cartilage etc….will explain pain etc and your boob not far from your shoulder!
If you not comfortable telling them…bend the truth slightly….or you could just tell them…let them get over it and move on with a great pair of tits!

I hate how opinionated some people can be! My aunt has been trying to put me off since my first consultation in jan. My mum came to my last one and really wants some but is deciding not too because of how people will take it! I know my aunt will have a lot to do with that! I have told who needs to know and everyone else can have their opinion! I told my work because one of my friends who I work with had hers done. There all supportive so far! Just do or say what you feel is most comfortable 🙂 xx

I know exactly how you feel. I am a teacher and extremely nervous about the reaction of staff and parents! I’ve told close friends at work but not planning on telling everyone at work!
