Females would you be comfortable to tell your male boss that you can't come to work because your period is on?

    Women have periods it’s natural and nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m male but grew up in a house full of females so of course I’d be understanding to females.

    I have male and female bosses, and yes I would, one of the male team leaders I went for a walk with before he became team leader and we mentioned sex (we were just friends though) so if I could discuss sex with him I could definitely mention about my period.

    Yes, I like to give a reason why I would be absent, and my boss understands period pain, how unbearable it can be. He also knows that I don't take advantage of this and make it a monthly occurrence, I only ask for a day off when it's absolutely unavoidable.

    That is hardly a reasonable excuse for not coming in to work. Are you going to call out "sick" every time you have your period till you're like 55? So no i would not feel comfortable telling the boss that story.

    It's not a matter of being comfortable, my female staff know I understand when they are honest with me.
