Hi ladies

AIBU to ask to leave work an hour early for a doctors appointment when I’m a part timer working 2.5 days a week?

doctors can’t re arrange and I’ve been waiting for an apt for ages and they’ve only booked me in because of a cancellation.

I was going to tell my manager that I needed to quickly run down to little ones school and will just make up the time.

or is it best to just be honest in this case? Work are pretty flexible and manager is pretty chilled just don’t want to look like I’m taking the P as I can’t stand when people do that.

thanks x

Don’t lie just be honest. Explain to your manager what you’ve said here

Be honest and offer to make up the time

You're as entitled as a full time employee to see your doctor.

I'd be honest why too.

Be honest, explain how they've fitted you in etc & you'll be back as soon as you can.

I think offering to make up the time elsewhere is a good idea. Even as a part time worker things like this crop up sometimes.

Be honest

Just be honest. Everyone know doctors appointments are like hen’s teeth and it’s never as simple as saying “Ph that doesn’t work for me”. Round here you get what you’re given!
