I know a lot of workplaces/bosses don’t like it, but I’m of the opinion that your time off is your time off. It doesn’t matter if you’re in town or out of town, have the ability to get to work or not, if you have scheduled time off, you shouldn’t have to make any excuses as to why you’re not at work.

I’ll always send a quick text. I never need a reason for a no. If they say no, I thank them for their time and move on. Some people want more hours and are glad to take the shift, some want the day off. I understand both perspectives.

This is why you should live in a different town than your workplace. Even if it’s the next town over, technically you’re “out of town”!

Lmao there was literally an enemy like this in resident evil 5

My last job was production-oriented so I ran into this a lot. I was somehow out of town every single weekend. Now that I’ve moved to maintenance-oriented I’m suddenly home all the time
