Being Sick Excuse #49 - Get out of work when you are already there
Have you ever gotten to work and decided you just couldn’t take it anymore? Wish you had just called in? Think it’s too late? Well, guess what? It’s not too late! In fact, there is an easy way to get out of work when you are already there.
Take out your cell phone - but make sure no one sees you. Call your work phone.
This next part calls for some acting skills -
Act like you are talking to someone on the phone. Say something like “what happened” and “are you okay” and then end the call with “no, its okay, I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Then hang up the phone and rush in to the boss and tell ‘em that you just got a call and you have a family emergency and need to leave now.
Typically they won’t ask you any questions, but have some answers prepared in case they do!
