Why did my boss get angry with me for this?

Question

Earlier today a client who my boss was anxious to avoid talking to rang and my boss told me to make up an excuse as to why my boss could'nt talk to him. So i told the client that my boss could'nt come to the phone as he had horrible squirty diahorrea and could'nt get off the toilet. When my boss found out i said this he got really mad. So my questions are why would this make my bosss mad and if you were my boss would you have gotten mad too?

Answer 1

We should put it back to you.

Would you be mad, if you were your boss, and your staffer did this to you?

It not only is embarrassing for your boss, it also makes the company and you look stupid. No one believes that.

Answer 2

hahaha  Thats a very embarrassing excuse but he should have known better

You reap what you sow...

Next time he should just get to the phone.  People dont pay their money to get ignored

Answer 3

he's mad because your excuse was embarassing for him. but if you ask me he got what he deserved!

Answer 4

well maybe because it kinda made him  look badd.. and im pretty sure thats why he was madd because he looke stupid and thats just disgusting.. i probably would of laughed it off .. but then again im ot ur boss

Answer 5

lol!! kinda, but i would get over it since i put you in that position. Hella funny though. That why I do not tell my staff to make up excuses for me...i give them one to use...lol
