Hmm... tough one, why didn't you go in? Why didn't you ring on friday and just say you were sick? I don't know wtf you would say in the morning.

Didnt go in because I hate it, started 3 months ago and they have me doing things that I specifically said I didnt want to do. I spend my day trying to convince customers not to leave the bank.

I would have called but I broke my phone the night before so didnt have the direct lines and to call through to the call centre takes about 25 minutes.

Fancy changing positions, my job doesn't pay a lot, just over 200 euro a week, but you get free medical, you may get rent allowance and fuel allowance. You can work when you want, you can do all your work in one day or spread it over 7 days. It's pretty secure too. Give me a PM for the job spec if you want, but all you really do is browse the net, fap fap fap, look for the odd job and watch TV.

Am serious, wanna swap? Would love to do what youdo...

It's definitely got to be the old "I sent [insert appropriate person here] an email over a month ago booking that day off. Did they not get it?" Blame IT for the problem. If it's brought to IT's attention they won't give a sh*t so it won't go any further. Job done.

Actually that p*sses me off when people do that. I search the email logs and just say we have no record of the mail being sent. I don't say it but if there ain't a record of an attempt at sending it then it wasn't sent. Its up to the manager to know that though, I'm not going to tell him that.

So you can generally get away with it but if something happens your computer and you need it fixed in the future, don't expect a quick turn around time. Depending on your job that can be advantage too I guess :P

Tell them your phone was broken and had no access to a landline. That you weren't well enough to leave the house.

brendansmith · 02-02-2009 02:08AM

Tell your boss that you work him but your not IN work with him.

He will understand.

Say you shat yourself on the bus on the way in, also mention that some z list celeb was on the bus too(Liam from failed popband "Six" perhaps) just to make the story seem more absurd and plausable.

So what excuse have you decided to go with?

I think you should just tell them the truth, i would be suprised if you would have a job at 10am today...

btw, loads of bank employees are on boards

Your boss could be on boards too

Think before you start a thread!

Just say you were sick - He'll inevitably ask how sick you were to which you reply "Well I spent most of the morning in bed sucking off the dog" - Slowly walk out of his office while he's still in shock.

You can be certain he wont mention it again.

I didnt go into work on Friday and didnt call either, going in in the morning and will need an excuse.

Any ideas?

" erm...

use the O.j simpson " wookie " defence from southpark,

when he uses the " this makes no sense " arguement "

then you counter with the No your a towel, or the Yore ma sentiment...

you'll win at life in no time at all

Is Banking365 really that bad ?

Fulton Crown · 02-02-2009 12:10PM

Send your employer a nice note along the following lines:

"I know the country is in a state of chassis and i know your company is trying desperately to survive.

I also know that people are loosing their jobs and family homes all across the country and in some cases may never find work again.

However I just don't care about all that..I really need next Friday off..an I'D be obliged if you could get your other workers to cover for me and ..uh..I want to be paid as well."

Boss "Note to HR..... P45 to that ex employee".

Fixed it for yah !!!:D

Go down to your local social welfare office and apply for "job seeker allowance" or as most people know it as "the dole"... Great job. I don't have a life though

Anal leakage combined with schizophrenia and that youre still suffering.
Then sh!t yourself infront of him and rub it all over the place shouting cleane the soul repeatedly.

Or stigmata. Always wondered if I could use that as an excuse

madmik · 02-02-2009 06:02PM

ask to speak to your boss in private and tell them ur bringing the wife/gf to spain for a quick abortion because she was gangraped a few weeks ago

theyre hardly gonna say no to that....;)

amcalester · 02-02-2009 06:34PM

LOL!

Yah, that's the solution. I assume permission to use it?

I once told my boss that I heard on the radio that the world was going to end tomorrow and that's why I didn't ring in (it was near the end of 1999 and there really was a story going round in the media).
