Work predicament... (1 Viewer)

[San Francisco]

My brother got tickets for us for the final, however, work won't let me take the 27th off (only joined last month so didn't book any time off) and apparently there's no cover for that day either.

Any ideas fellas?

If they won’t let you have the day off for this then it’s not the sort of place you’re going to want to work anyway

 

[usskyblue]

[shmmeee]

You're not looking too well there, best take a few days off (just don't get filmed at Wembley ffs!)

Just wear a Doug King masks.

 

[Nick]

Won't you need a few days off to get here?

 

[letsallsingtogether]

At my age I would just say fuck it then Im retiring.

 

[CCFC_Irish]

Tell them you have to come home for a serious operation just leave out the premiership bit.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Given that one bright spark voted for you to go to work, I say you out that person and make them go in your place.

Problem solved.

Might not get to Wembley again for years but it’s easy for me to tell you to quit, depends.

 

[CCFC_Irish]

Did you say you have already asked for it?

 

[San Francisco]

Did you say you have already asked for it?

Yeah

 

[CCFC_Irish]

Yeah

Not sure about the legal aspects of employment over there but I am guessing you are on a probationary period? Can you ask a colleague to cover?

 

[Tommo1993]

Yeah, don’t get denied leave and throw a sicky for the same day. They’ll smell a rat. Think it’s gonna take a heap of grovelling from you.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Phone in on the Friday with sickness and diarrhoea , they have to give you 48 hours I think

Don't do what a lad I used to work with did when he decided to go and watch Scotland play instead of working. When they rang up to ask him where he was he decided to answer the call in Hampden Park & all they could hear was a load of raucous jocks!!!

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Do you think in 5,10 or 20 years you will look back and remember that day at work?
Do you really want to work for someone who doesn't take personal circumstances into consideration?
Companies have no loyalty and will drop someone whenever it suits them

I obviously don't know your personal circumstances

Just a thought, if the company are that short of employees then they can't afford to sack you, can they.

Ask someone if they can cover for you that day who is normally off. Offer them a days wage or sexual favours. Just chucking some ideas in for you.

 

[hill83]

Go into work. Shit your trousers in front of your boss. Go to the pub.

You go to work, and I'll cover for you at Wembley

That's true. I'll try asking around and see if anyone wants the shift. Either way screw it, going to Wembley anyway.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

As one great poster used to say, enjoy yourself it’s later than you think.

 

[Hercules]

Are you a heart surgeon? Get into work.

Flipping burgers? Eat one and claim enteritis.

 

[CCFC_Irish]

Will you be staying for the premiership year or years if promoted?

Bloody hell how many days will you need to fly to England then back to the US.

I live in Warwick. Clearly naming myself San Francisco was a bad idea!
