I made this mistake once and felt terrible. I just keep all comments to myself now.

This isn’t something I would think of as a big secret. Should I be talking about you when you’re not there? No. However, what if I mentioned it in context, such as, “You like to paint? I heard so-and-so likes to paint, you should see if they want to discuss.” No harmful intent whatsoever. Doesn’t that change the situation slightly?

Your director’s comment is just weird. Why should they care what you do on your vacation time?

Reply to LPT if you have a job where you are paid sick, always take an extra day even if you feel better. by kagamos97

Salaried office worker in the US… I get sick time but if I take a day then my work just gets plowed into the next day. Unless you’re out on long term leave, no one is doing your work in your absence.

I put off vacations (even with generous paid leave) to avoid the avalanche of work when I come back.
