Okay, so this is all stemming over the fact that I need a day off of work.
Background; I have 2 bosses at work. I do reception/shipping & receiving. I am the only one who answers phones and blah blah. Apparently men are too pathetic to do this. There is no one to cover me.
My bosses work here alternating weeks. I am good with one. The other not so much. This one also happens to be my parent’s friend. (presents and issue I will explain in a min)
The day I need off work is a Monday. Our busiest day of the week. And the boss, parent’s friend, is the one who is here. He will not give it to me off.
I need this day off to go out of town. I miss out on so much stuff because of work and not having the money. I really do not want to miss out on this. I will be left in town alone because we have a large amount of people going. We do not have holiday days. I have NEVER called in sick the whole time I have worked here. I have only ever taken 2 days off work in nearly a year.
So my options are;
Tell the truth. – This gives me a very slim chance of actually getting the day off, because like I said, he won’t answer phones or anything. He doesn’t allow me to take the time off, but anyone else is fine. That’s cool.
Lie about it. – Say I have an appointment? Or more then one? Emergency? The issue here is my parents again. They can talk to each other and unless I lie to my parent’s too, I may get screwed over.
Call in sick. – This seems like my best option. As long as things are not posted to facebook, then I can say I stayed at my bf’s all day. Not far fetched because I am always there anyways.
What do I do guys? I don’t wanna hear the ‘this is the right thing to do’ shit. I am stressed, I need to go, it’s only 1 day! How do I get out of work
