Mine is - DO NOT go to the building you work at. Like if you’re a retail worker, it is not wise to go to the store you work at or the restaurant. Because they see you come in shopping for whatever reason, they’ll possibly be on your ass about you being able to come in and shop but not work that day.
Are you talking about calling in sick, or taking PTO? Because I’ll be damned if anyone is gonna jump my ass over spending my earned time off as I please.
If I call in sick, I usually just stay at home and freak out all day about someone from work coming by.
