I'm a manager at my job, but even still I feel obligated to have a “valid” reason for requesting the day off on the same morning.
My boss won't care either way, but he may ask questions and I'd like a fool-proof excuse that will not get questioned and will simply be responded with an “okay”.
I hope I'm providing enough information for some suggestions. Pretty much I need the day off, and I want to use PTO on the morning of. I've known for well over a month about needing this day off but I for some reason didn't request it off ahead of time, so was thinking of calling in sick or something.
The thing is, we're slammed at work right now and I work remotely on the day I need off. There's probably gotta be a good reason for me to not be able to work from home on this day.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
