When it's your Birthday but don't want workmates to know

May 11, 2021 1:20am CST
My workmate was absent today because it's her Birthday. But yesterday when She ask for our Boss' approval , her reason was she was going to do something about her previous family member's death.. but actually find out that it was just a lie though.. My other workmate says that it is kinda bad when you reason out the dead when in fact it is your birthday.. I just hope her well today

May be she didn't want that others know about her birthday otherwise people would ask for the treat.

May be she has a reason for doing that, but I don't think it is necessary to keep your bd a secret to your work mates

Maybe she didn't want people to fuss over her on her birthday. It might make her uncomfortable. Maybe she just want time for herself.

@Hanbinandaeyo The specific reason is that I work in these previous companies for the jobs only and nothing else.
