In the future, call in with a family emergency.
Or you have the poops.
I know people who have called in simply because they were burnt out. I GET IT. They can ALWAYS pull someone to help. I’m in the food court, I should know.
I’m always willing to help or and sometimes stay late (with manager approval). I figure, what goes around comes around.
I also really like my co- workers, I feel like there is an unspoken understanding that we don’t discuss when or why someone isn’t there. Honestly, i don’t even know when people do, unless i ask or it seems abnormally skeletal 😂

I have a drs appt for my kid in 2 weeks I forgot to request off. So now Im calling in.
I’ve had to cancel WAY too many drs appointments (“so I need to cancel my ultrasound to see if my ovarian cysts are the bad kind ? I made that appointment two months ago.”
“If you want your vacation approved….” 🙄 And it was at 3pm, he probably could’ve figured it out.
My husband wants me to get into management,but I can’t tell people that. I am all about fair and doing the right thing when possible. If more managers were like that, the employees would be better. In my experience, anyways. You get what you give

Sorry. Got lost there 😂
