When employers make it SO difficult to let them know you can't make a shift when things come up at the last minute, you just have to lie and call in sick the day of.
My current employer needs 14 days for a request and are currently giving me the hardest time for asking off two days in advance because something came up. So if they deny the request, I'm just going to have to call in “sick”
This isn't the first employer who makes these things difficult. And my job isn't even the type of job that affects anybody if I'm not there. Nobody needs to cover me or anything like that. I just don't work and don't get paid for the day. I hate to lie but these companies really force me to. Screw this
