People in that situation may make up an excuse to cover their time out. As you say, unless he's using this story to get benefits he wouldn't otherwise be entitled to, best to let it go. | |

It's reminding me of those people whose main job it was to stalk and spy on other people for a few scraps from the secret police table :P Lightweight, mind you, but still... none of their business. The coworker made it clear he doesn't want to share his (real) private life with his coworkers. Faking it may be seen as worse than just saying "that's my private business", but that's still peanuts to the encroachment implied by the OP, IMO. | |
