It's not my job to find my own coverage if I cannot be at work, no matter the reason. But being put on the spot by having someone TELL me to do it always leaves me with nothing to say. I know everybody here wants to come back with “That's not my job” or just telling them to fuck off, but what's a good response that's not deliberately antagonistic? Like, yeah I could say all kinds of stuff, but I also can't afford to piss off my boss on purpose.
