Episode notes
Sick leave or sly lift? A personal trainer calls in for a "medically required" procedure… but rumours swirl it was a Brazilian butt lift 👀. As HR tries to sort fact from filler, tensions rise:
➡️ Should cosmetic surgery qualify as medical leave?
➡️ Who decides what’s “medically necessary”?
➡️ Can your boss ask what kind of surgery you had — or is that crossing a line?
Plus: What happens when rumours about someone’s body spark inappropriate jokes at work? Where's the line between office chat… and sexual harassment?
