What exactly are the legal claims that would be the basis for the lawsuit?

OP, you're a bad person, which means you're probably a bad colleague and employee too. Good riddance.

For instance, the ADA and FMLA require employers to store medical records related to accommodations or leave in a separate, confidential file. Similarly, GINA mandates that genetic information be kept strictly confidential and not used in hiring or employment decisions. It sounds like you disclosed to people beyond HR, making it unlikely you have a successful claim.

Except the son is perfectly fine.

A judge is going to laugh their head off over OP suing that medical info she faked was leaked.

OP did the harm to herself.

+1. This. Tempting fate. Here's hoping your son stays healthy. Don't ever tell lies that create fictitious problems for your loved ones. Gross

Just say you over reacted to the worst case scenario that did not materialize.

Or what about just wanting to take time to reset before pursuing other opportunities. I left a job (al
because it was toxic and I said that I was burnt out and needed better work life balance.

For the benefit of others, some very common responses include either (a) no response; just decline to answer the question or (b) "to pursue other career opportunities".

I never fill out any "exit forms" when leaving a job and I always "forget" to participate in any exit interviews. No good can come from any of that. I also do not offer any suggestions when leaving.

Yeah, that’s bad juju. If it was ever a health related excuse, it was a migraine or a made up aunt’s funeral etc - and we are talking about when I was getting out of a shift back in high school. Son’s health - wow. And it was a totally unnecessary lie to begin with.

OP take this as a lesson that "little" lies are only momentarily self-gratifying and can cause tremendous chaos, not just for you but for others. Really selfish to bring your kid into this. This is a step beyond "I can't make it to your party because I have another party." I hope your son isn't old enough to be impacted.

I have a close relatively who thrives on "white lies" and swears they are the best tool in the toolbox. Problem is they tell so many they are unbelievable on their own, and especially unbelievably when they can't keep them straight and contradict them sometimes just hours later. It reeks of a totally self-centered lack of self-awareness. No one cares about you as much as you think they do -- leave it at a minimum, or better, just be honest and say "I decided that the work environment didn't suit me."

OP is a scum bag

This is why when I called out sick (actually a training for my side hustle), I said it was me. I didn’t bring my kid into it.
DH/friends were telling me to say it was my sick kid and DH wasn’t available.
But I couldn’t bring their life into my lie. They didn’t ask for this.

Op, just correct it where you can. Or let it go. Now you know not to bring your kid into any lie, white lie or not.

What do you want to sue for, OP?

That's not the same as saying your kid is sick and having another job lined up. Maybe this other person tried being a SAHM and was unhappy. Maybe she just wanted a short break. Maybe new job is more chill or PT. That wasn't necessarily a concrete lie.

+1 I would never lie about my kid being sick especially so much so as to warrant leaving my job. Real about jinxing yourself into bad karma.

You don't need to give any reason except me opportunity/ looking for a change .

You sound like an awful person OP
