how tf do i call out of work. i never do this shit and i'm always terrified of doing it. i hate my job and would much rather do the thing with my friends tomorrow but i'm a terrible liar and have a deep seated need to be seen as doing good, even by my fucking b*ss. does anyone have any tips for how to do it?
I too really struggle with doing it, but calling in is borderline praxis, it is a good thing to do. Force them employers to learn that people have needs and will not always be at work no matter what.
Keep it short and sweet, don't offer details, and if pushed, claim poop disease, or severe dizziness to the point you can't stand up. No acting required, just keep it boring and vague, you don't know what the cause is.
Honestly, I freak out having to do such calls, it sucks. But it need only be like 20 seconds, done and dusted, then the world is yours to enjoy for a day. "I won't be in today, can't stand up too dizzy, hopefully be there tomorrow", bam.
