Excuses To Get Out Of Work
As a working professional, there are times when I just don’t feel like going to work. Whether it’s because I’m feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just plain unmotivated, there are times when I need to find an excuse to get out of work.
While I don’t condone lying to your employer, there are some excuses that are more believable than others. Here are some of the most common excuses I’ve used to get out of work:
-
Feeling Sick: This is one of the most common excuses and one that is usually accepted by employers. If you’re really feeling sick, make sure you have a doctor’s note to back up your excuse.
-
Family Emergency: If you have a family emergency, your employer will usually understand and give you the time off you need. Just make sure you have some sort of proof to back up your story.
-
Car Trouble: If you have car trouble, your employer may be willing to excuse you from work. Just make sure you have proof of the issue, such as a tow truck or repair bill.
-
Home Emergency: If something unexpected happens at home, such as a plumbing issue or a power outage, your employer may be willing to give you the day off. Make sure you have proof of the issue.
-
Personal Appointment: If you have a personal appointment that you can’t reschedule, your employer may be willing to excuse you from work. Just make sure you have proof of the appointment, such as a doctor’s note or a confirmation email.
These are some of the most common excuses I’ve used to get out of work. While I don’t condone lying to your employer, these excuses have worked for me in the past. Just make sure you have some sort of proof to back up your story.
