How many uncles ?

Just had an email from my boss asking me to cover for my colleague tonight because her uncle has died, no problem happy to help but it just occurred to me so far since Christmas 2013 I have covered for her 18 times every time because her uncle died

Re: How many uncles ?

A friend of mine is an ardent twitcher, and goes to the far ends of the country to see a rare species, when he worked for a company it was his regular excuse to leave by saying someone had died.

He now works for himself, and his excuse now is he has to go for supplies from the wholesaler to complete the job. Its cheating and poor customer service.

I shouldn't laugh but it so reminds me of living in Kenya when people had grannies, uncles, cousins etc who died every week and they needed money to go up country to the funerals. Some of them must have had hundreds of grannies.

It's your boss that's a muppet. I hate weak management.

Yes it was always the granny for me when I needed a break from work, never any problems, the boss was as daft as a brush. She was already dead before I used the excuses, God rest her soul, you could nearly say she was buried in instalments.

Re: How many uncles ?

My ex employer required a death notice or funeral notice for such leave. Worked well
