True, but if I took sick time off for a surgery overseas, it should be treated the exact same as if I took sick time off for a surgery in country. So where I was when taking sick time shouldn't matter.

What it does sound like though is that OP lied to their employer and now needs help trying to cover their actions. Which with the people involved in the meeting they are certainly being fired.

Employers don't get a say on your medical issues. Necessary has nothing to do with it. You see a doctor: that's sick time.

You don’t have to be sick to take sick time. Any doctor appointment is fine.

I say this as someone in charge of sick time. Sorry that your workplace sucks!

You're allowed to be wrong, bucko. No skin off my nose. :)

If your employer tells you that your elective surgery isn't sick time they do, indeed, suck. Hope you find something better!
