Help me ditch work early for a big party?

Question

I have a problem. I couldn't call out of work today, but i am supposed to be on a limo heading towards atlantic city at 9. i get out at 10, but need to leave by 7:30 to be at my friend's house on time.

any good, real-sounding excuses that could be used? any other way to leave?

i realize to be a good employee i must work all day with a smile, but i don't really care too much about this job. just enough not to lose it by walking out.

Answer 1

Go to the bathroom and come back and say that you have been sick.

Claim you had something dodgy last night to eat and now you have been sick and have diarrhoea too. Most bosses will tell you to go as its quite contagious!!

Good Luck

Answer 2

Your mom is ill and you need to get home early to get her medication and dinner

Answer 3

Just say your sisters in labour!

And your her birth partner..

Answer 4

I'm not going to encourage you to lie, it's bad karma and by doing so you are saying it's okay for others to lie to you.

If there's coverage for the rest of your shift, why not just ask if you may leave early and you will either make up the time on another day...or have someone cover for you if you leave, and you can cover for them one day when they need to leave early or arrive late.
