I just got a new job but I have to see my dentist. What should I do? Can you help me?

Question

I have to have a follow-up procedure at my dental office in 6 weeks so I scheduled for Sept 23, but I'm worried about my job, since I start Sept 8 and therefore would only be working for about 2 weeks. I scheduled the appointment for the morning since they don't have any hours past 4.

How should I tell my supervisor that I need to attend this appointment? It's very important. Can I offer to work through my lunch break?

Answer 1

You should def. offer to work through your lunch break.

Just tell him that you NEED to have this procedure and that you will make up any time you miss. Let him know how important it is and that you understand how important your job is.

Good Luck at the dentist!
