I'm through to the final stage of the hiring process for a reputable tech consulting firm we all know of. The role is a degree apprenticeship in tech consulting – it's what I'm passionate about and is literally my way out of this shitty call centre job I've been working in for the past 5 months after I dropped out of uni.
The final round is an assessment centre – the issue is that the company I applied to gave just 3 days notice to confirm my attendance for the AC after the penultimate round. I've asked my manager for time off but there doesn't seem to be any chance.
It'll be obvious ofc but should I call in sick? I'm still in my probation period which causes me to worry about job security. To add to that I haven't been the most punctual recently…
All in the past 6 weeks: I've taken 2 weeks bereavement leave (genuine), I came into work for the incorrect shift schedule on 2 occasions (miscommunication) and this week I was two hours late for oversleeping – I'm really not a tardy person when it comes to job work ethic but yeh its just been like this as of recent.
What are my options dear redditors?
