so the drama

marcicatThis week's office days included UNEXPECTED WORKPLACE DRAMA, which was about what I expect from the in-office experience of 'overhearing lots of random bits of conversation.' (Honestly, the most unexpected thing is probably that it took five weeks to happen.)
ANYWAY, there's one employee who's currently "on leave," and we got a bunch of emails about it (maybe three?), very vague on the details, but clearly a planned thing, and with some level of contingencies in place to cover for this. Not dramatic. (I mean, maybe for the employee? As I said, very vague on the details. Could be anything, really. Probably not a new baby; those get different announcements.)
BUT, now there is suddenly ANOTHER employee who is "on leave," with ZERO emails and ZERO details. The words "on leave" are being said in such a way that indicates there is A Story to this situation. I do not think these two "on leave" situations are connected (although wouldn't THAT be a drama for sure!). But there aren't a lot of great reasons for an employee to suddenly not be coming to work, and not be able to be contacted.
