Can't you just say you need to take a "personal" day? I know up here they are pretty reasonable when you need to take a day off, as long as you use one of your annual leave days. By working weekends we accrue A.L. days fairly quickly thoughThought about that, but the only guy who can open the store here is my supervisor, and he's on 4 weeks A/L.........

If this other co has approached you, then you have a fair certainty of being employed by them. So you don't have anything to lose with your current employer. The only thing holding you back would be if you haven't made your mind up if you want to go or not.

exarsixturbo Dr. Speed Member 784 Member For: 17y 8m 12d Gender: Male Location: The land of Politicians, Public Servants, Porno & Pyrotechnics Posted 28/08/08 03:48 AM Share Posted 28/08/08 03:48 AM Got any kids Mick? You could always use the good old - "Kids got in trouble at school and I have an appointment with the principal this afternoon" Or "Kid is sick and I have to pick him/her up from school and look after him/her for the afternoon. That way someone else has the sickness and you don't have to pretend to be sick the next day, when you turn up to work looking fine.....Either way it’s a lie....but sometimes there is no other option. Good luck with the job. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49127-tell-the-truth-or-chuck-a-sickie/page/2/#findComment-724613 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 28/08/08 04:27 AM Share Posted 28/08/08 04:27 AM I'd just take the day as annual leave.We turn over a lot of people at my work and one thing I've realised is that telling people you're going for another job is always a mistake.I wouldn't lie about it. I just wouldn't tell them. What you do with your leave is your own business.

Give a reasonable amount of notice to old boss and keep your consience clean mate. Integrity and honesty are getting rarer and rarer, dont let your morals slip if you can help it.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49127-tell-the-truth-or-chuck-a-sickie/page/2/#findComment-724711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
