Fully expecting to be told I'm being unreasonable.
After months of searching, I've just been offered a job with a large bank but the rule is absolutely no holidays or time off during the first 5 weeks of training.
I have a very short two night family trip on the second week of training which they don't know about. Just read through all my enrolment paperwork and discovered the no absense rule.
I spoke to someone who works for said large bank and there are no exceptions.
Anyone ever had to phone in sick during training in a similar situation (even if I did it probably wouldn't work as the trip is a celebration abroad and the ringtone sounds different if they were to check on me or whatever...)
Or do I just be honest, decline the job and start my search all over again? 😩
