I was driving a forklift and my phone fell out of my pocket and I ran it over. My phone was completely unusable couldn't take calls or text anyone. I went to tell my boss and he complained I had to go to dmv yesterday to get new tags on my car. Dmv is only open when I'm working as I work 8 to 5 on week days. I had to get tags yesterday because I was pulled over on my way to work and given a warning for expired tags. So today I told my boss my phone got destroyed from the forklift and his response was “and you had to go to dmv yesterday” after that he got quiet didn't say I couldn't go as he didn't say anything after that. So I clock out and go to get a new phone. Takes me about 2 hours and after that I go back to work. He then complains that I didn't get permission to leave and that Verizon is open until 7pm. Am I in the wrong here is he being unrealistic with a stay at work policy? I don't have an important job or anything to do. I just float around and help my coworkers do random stuff. Me being gone didn't hurt productions or daily operations at all. If I break my phone at work I should at least be able to leave to fix it
