WIBU to work from home to go to the beach?

[peachyhead]

I live near the beach. Usually can't wfh but occasionally I can e.g. if I am getting work done at home or have an appointment. Would it be unreasonable to ask to wfh for the day tomorrow so I can go to the beach at lunchtime? I might stay out a little longer but will have my phone/laptop with me.

What I have just told you is what I said to my boss, didn’t realise I needed to share verbatim.

ridiculous

you said that you told your employer “I have an appointment”. You literally explicitly told us that.

Then… you changed it to you “asked your employer to WFH so you could do some bits around the house**

it’s farcical

Hope your mind is at ease now this pressing question has been dealt with. I hadn’t noticed any deletions nor am I bothered by them. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Is it really affecting you that much. I’m very sorry I’ve upset you.

oh you’ve done this kind of silly talk to multiple posters upthread 😆

No I don’t suppose you are bothered when you abuse / name call!

What names lol?

They are deleted now

sufficiently poor form for HQ to delete.

I haven’t called anyone any names. I queried a poster’s reading comprehension skills as they kept repeatedly asking the same question. I have been called names on here lol.

We shall never know as deleted.
and given you’re not averse to telling “white lies” I’m inclined to think… the posts were pretty damn nasty!

What would happen if your employer found out? If they don’t care then go for it; if they are likely to make a fuss then don’t do it. Only you know if it is appropriate or not. I know someone who got fired for working from the Caribbean when he was ‘working from home’.

Don’t see an issue with going on your lunch break as long as you get your required hours in, get what you need to done and are available the hours you need to be

Classic deflection tactic when people get caught out.

Where did I get caught out? I’ve explained on multiple occasions what happened.

Turned out they didn’t care. I wasn’t sure about asking as it’s not something I’ve done often. I’ve probably WFH 3 times in the 5 years I’ve been there, the other two times when I had genuine appointments/work being done at home.

Did you actually see any instances of me being pretty damn nasty, name calling, or being abusive? I’d love some examples.

Deleted
I trust HQ judgement on this

If you often work outside set hours and get everything done as you say then dont worry about it. Swings and roundabouts. Go for it!

It kind of is, it reads rather clearly actually.

Caught out for what? She did nothing wrong this is insane!!😂

It's pretty obvious you requested them to get deleted, so you could then pretend they were offensive and name calling!! Your weird witch hunt on Op and her lunch break is baffling, but quite amusing.

No idea what's been deleted but MNHQ would only have deleted a reported post which breached the guidelines. You can't report something on a whim in order to pretend it was offensive later.

But you can delete something that somehow breaks the talk guidelines and then lie about the content.

Are you suggesting that this poster is doing that?

I didn’t
I have no idea what the posts said

but let’s say I did… HQ aren’t going to delete posts that they don’t think breached talk guidelines

I have no idea what the content was

but…. on the basis of the OP’s posts?
like the majority of posters, we’ve not exactly
Warmed to the op! So I guessed it was being unpleasant!
