I'm kind of amazed
How many people said to my post about my son's coworker:
"People lie"
Okay, so, who cares if someone lies to get out of work.
Why should people have to lie to get a day off? Why can't people just say, "Hey, I need to take today off?" Why are they forced to make up situations just to get time off?
Why is it okay for an employer to have to have an excuse? Why does an employer get to dictate what is an acceptable reason to take time off?
"They are just lazy"
So what? Who cares? If they are just lazy, they will be fired and life will move on. Why do you care that there are lazy people in the world? It makes work harder for you? Then set your work boundaries. Your employer needs you more than you need them, even in this economy. Hiring and training a new employee is expensive.
Sometimes, I think the resentment of people lying to not work is that the liar gets something someone else doesn't for lying, and they don't stop to think why the employer expects any sort of excuse as to why you need time off.
Stop being resentful and start expecting your employer to stop treating you like a child.
Adults shouldn't have to lie to an employer. Adult employers shouldn't need an excuse when someone wants a day off. The fact that employers make it so people have to lie is disgusting. The fact there are so many people taking the employer's side is gross.
You are not beholden to your employer. Ever. And your employer doesn't deserve your subservience simply because they pay you.
