TheScarf Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The lad has showed up for work today. His reason for not waking up on time? His phone crashed during the night, woke up at 7 and reset it, that's when he phoned the boss who was at Inverurie by this point with the rest of the guys. No word yet about what will happen to him. They're back in work tomorrow so will keep you all posted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye there's no doubt he was hungover. He now this second has claimed he had a panic attack so had to phone in sick and go home. It doesn't look good for him. It's a shame really as he's actually pretty sound. We get on well and have the same taste in music and, more importantly, Peep Show. I hope he doesn't get the bullet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Still can't believe he done himself out of a trip of a lifetime to get MWI the night before with his faither. I hope he does get the sack! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, I'd probably have a panic attack if I realised I had missed a free trip to Vegas and was likely to get the sack. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 See there's now a bit of a grey area developing. He's claiming had his phone not packed in he would've been up and at the office for 5am fine. He didn't feel rough, just freaked out as he missed the trip and had to go home. I'm still very skeptical of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still very skeptical of this. Well, he is going to claim that isn’t he. Long and short of it is, he missed his flight and didn’t turn up for work as instructed. Blaming his phone (very unlikely as it was working come 7am) and then a panic attack (can’t disprove) maybe save him from the sack but it’s a mark against his name and not a good one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the only thing he can hope for is that one of the guys that did make it to Vegas killed a hooker. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 No employer is going to question a panic attack (essentially mental health issue) in this day and age. Minefield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 We're changing to do a different area of work. Big change for those of us who were previously specialist decision makers as we're going back to managing staff. I've spent the time allocated for training going through the same training that the staff got to make an effort to learn what the staff will be doing. A colleague has done the square root of f**k all. She complained yesterday that she'd been in all morning but had sat with very little to do as she didn't really know what she was doing. She somehow tried to spin this as being her bosses fault for failing to provide a bespoke training plan for her. Taking the initiative and actually sitting in with somebody to see what they were doing was clearly a step too far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't think he should get fired. It's nothing to do with his work, just a f**k up that people will be laughing about in the future. if he does get fired then he should storm the office in a digger like that Scouser in the travel lodge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's everything to do with his work, he phoned his boss in a late bid to get on the flight, was told no chance and to get his arse into work then he phoned in sick! Pretending you've had a panic attack is a pretty cunty thing to do too, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
