person A: Someone at my work missed part of their shift due to a personal issue_comma_ but requested I withhold any information that would reveal they missed such time
person B: Oh no! That must have put you in a bad position. How did you handle it?
person A: I did my best to speak around the subject to anyone that may have otherwise brought it up_comma_ Luckily no one ended up being at all the wiser
person B: Sounds like a great way of handling a potentially sticky situation - good job!
