Let's say theoretically I decided to a week off work because I was “sick” and I knew for certain that my manager wouldn't approve any of my upcoming requested days off.
The week has passed and I now have to deal with the consequences of my actions. My manager is asking to see a sick note for my “chest pains”, and I've got no proof of anything.
Any ideas how I can get myself out of this situation?
For context I live in the UK and I work in hospitality, my job mostly consists of serving customers at the till. Ideally I don't want to be fired but I'd rather just quit my job before doing anything illegal like faking a sick note.
