Calling all bullshit artists!

I call them the TRTNR's.....

I know I'm asking for trouble here - but what is the TRTNRs? :dry:

Grey is NOT blonde Hitch!

Close enough - nothing a bit of dye and bleach won't fix in a hurry.

Take the day off and just tell them you were feeling sick. You won't get paid for the day but that doesn't matter.
Nobody can fire anyone until they have not turned up for work three times.
I kid you not, three times.
It's the law. Crazy eh!

At my last work (a ferry company like Fullers Ferries) a skipper was hung over and didn't want to come to work, and so the ferry was cancelled for the morning. Thousands of dollars lost, not to mention commuter good-will.
He did it twice, getting a written warning each time, but apparently it's specifically stated in employment law that failure to turn up is not a dismissable offence, and instead only rates a written warning.
You get three written warnings and you're fired, but he knew that and so came to work the next time he was hung over.
Actually, he was still drunk from the night before, and one of the deckhands had to steer and berth the boat.
Intense!

All you gota do is tell the boss that you have some 'personal' buisness to attend to. If you are asked, just reiterate that it is personal. Don't expect top get paid for something that you are not entilted too. If he stops you from going go anyway and take a out a PG. If you are on your way out might as well make him pay for being an arsehole.

Tell don't ask, get to work early, get your team sorted and tell your boss that your really sorry but you have some business to attend to and you'll be back by 1pm (or whateva) then leave for your meeting.

You turned up for work, got your team prepped so you weren't slacking, you haven't dropped them in it by not showing up, so they can't really complain.

Then offer to make up the hours or take LWOP, let your boss make that call so they still feel like they have control (of which employers have very little).

I'm tired, and I haven't had any dinner yet.

I'd therefore like you all to imagine that this post is a vicious tirade against all time-wasting socialists bleeding our economy dry and contributing to the pathetic downfall of what used to be a country full of hard-working cunts who'd rather starve than steal or lie, because, frankly, I can't be arsed writing one.

This is the way the world ends; not with a bang but a whimper.

Thank you. As you were.

So how's that Government Grant coming along mate?

Tell them you have a "specialist" appointment. If they press you, tell them it is a gynaecological thing. Any awkwardness on your part due to the lie will come across as embarrassment and/or tension about the appointment. They should back off then. Like someone said earlier, they don't want to know about "women's stuff". It would be too easy to get caught up in some of the other fibs suggested, but not this one. (It's not like they'll ask you afterwards how it all turned out!) I sound like I've done this before, but I haven't, honest!

Well what happened?

That is what I'd do, say I had some "personal matters" I had to attend to. Not exactly a lie, and that makes it clear it is something you don't wish to discuss with anyone.

Yep, I think it may just be easier. Its a shame that they are not very leniant and will prob say no annual leave cause I need to apply for it 2 weeks in advance. They'll prob pull out the "as a Team Leader, you need to lead by example"..... I can't really argue with that one!
