This happened to me too. I had a doctor's appointment scheduled for a work day, so I planned to use half of a sick day. The appointment would not take long, but my transitioning skills are horrible and it was my sick day to use.
The week before, I informed my boss that I had a doctor's appointment and that I would be out of the office for the afternoon. I also put it on my work calendar which any of my co-workers could view. Then, I turned off my phone so that it would not interrupt my appointment and so that I could relax.
A few hours later, when I turned my phone back on, I found several messages from work... and the police! The first message was just a work-related question (that's fine). When I had not called back (on my time off), and since "no one had seen me in three days" (it was Monday), they called the police and reported me as a missing person (what?!).
This sounds something like my husband's work would do! My mum rang me up one day to ask if everything was OK. Just because I hadn't updated Facebook for my son (he is in PICU recovering from open heart surgery complication). I was speechless, I had just been busy and couldn't be bothered updating or talking to anyone. Then I found out that my Mother in-law asked as well! It was only 2 days. I wasn't classed as missing but they were very worried! I think more worried about their Grandson but still!
