Nope only you can decide

CarolHasAnotherUTI · 10/03/2020 11:48

Late unless you are genuinely sick.

Odd thing to ask, really.

Crunchymum · 10/03/2020 11:49

What is wrong with you?

Silvercatowner · 10/03/2020 11:49

Are you ill? Isn't it a bit late for calling in anyway?

heartsonacake · 10/03/2020 11:51

If you don’t know if it should be a sick day or not you obviously aren’t sick and need to be in work.

livefornaps · 10/03/2020 11:52

Lol!!!

eenymeenyminyme · 10/03/2020 11:54

Why do we decide? So if it's the wrong choice you don't have to take the blame?

Jeez, take some responsibility for yourself!

Areyoufree · 10/03/2020 11:55

Sick day! Take some time for yourself (unless you are leaving other people in the shit, in which case - get thee to work!)

ilovesooty · 10/03/2020 11:57

Is there anything wrong with you ?

Dizzygirl00 · 10/03/2020 12:01

Bunk off!

adaline · 10/03/2020 12:10

Why would you call in sick just because you're running late?

inwood · 10/03/2020 12:12

What's wrong with you?

Fieldofgreycorn · 10/03/2020 12:14

Is there any context to this?

JustInCaseCakeHappens · 10/03/2020 12:20

If you were due to start at 8am, not sure you can breeze in calling "late".

Gazelda · 10/03/2020 12:27

How late are you?
How sick are you?

Crinkle77 · 10/03/2020 12:30

Can't really decide without more information.

lilmoopoo · 10/03/2020 12:31

Either your ill or your not Hmm Perhaps take responsibility for your own life

ilovesooty · 10/03/2020 12:33

Have you decided to call in dead?

TheTrollFairy · 10/03/2020 12:34

If you aren’t sick then you call in late surely?
Without knowing why you are doing either it’s hard to decide Hmm

PumpkinPie2016 · 10/03/2020 12:36

Late. If you are not sick then it's wrong to call in sick.

How come you are/were so late?

Shinycat · 10/03/2020 12:55

@managedmis YABVVVVU to call in sick because you couldn't be arsed to get out of bed in time to make it to work on time. Hmm

recklessruby · 10/03/2020 13:00

How late is late? If you re running 30 mins to an hour late I say call the boss with an excuse and go in.
Are you ill?
We have to call in sick that morning if we wont be in so that would be no good calling now.
Need more context. Is it an afternoon shift or you were supposed to be in at 9 am?

managedmis · 10/03/2020 13:06

It's for tomorrow.

DD has an appointment tomorrow at 9am - so I could take her there then go get the train and be in for work at noon. Would it just be better to call in sick? I have to work from home on Thursday as I'm at the dentist and my boss is gonna think I'm taking the piss if I say I have an appointment with DD etc. If you call in sick there are no questions asked!

Half day annual leave?

Gazelda · 10/03/2020 13:08

Well boss is equally going to be pissed off if you're 3 hours late for work, surely?
Take half day leave.
