I don't understand. How would being supposedly ill result in you not getting a reference? They can't prove that you weren't ill and playing a game.

only becasue ive allready given notice, and my wanker boss said he wont give me a reference if I have anymore sick days.

 

SO Is GTA worth telling my future interviews I have no refernce because My boss left jsut before I did. ? lieing basically. ?

My boss already knows about GTA4 coming out, because I've only been talking about it for the past 2 weeks...

 

Well, that is my mistake.

Yeah, that's a big f*ckup.

 

I've kept the fact that i'm excited about the game quiet...so my boss has no idea, I've already told him I can't come in tuesday because I'm busy doing uni assignments that are due.

What difference does a few hours make? Play it when you get in from work. If everybody pulled a sicky everytime something more appealing cropped up, the country would fall on its knees..lol.

Yay poll REspawn loves those polls. I voted yes. Your sick days are your sick days. No personal time instead though?

 

If your coworkers know you are stoked about the 29th and IV, it may be wise to show self control and go into work, and maybe drop some jokes "hey, I could be home 'sick' playing IV right now, but I love this job that much. Raise?" lol

 

Depending on your bosses and coworkers, this might amount to beneficial charm. Play your cards. If they are all clueless and can't gossip "that f*cker is home playing games..." then you're good smile.gif

Isnt it illegal to not give someone a refference, just because they where sick, because your gonna get sick one day m8.

I don't know about illegal, that would probably depend on your location and their employment legislation. But if you habitually call off, for any reason, you can get bad references. It wouldn't be that he called off SICK, it'd be that he called off.

 

So it'd either be "Yea, he called off once sick." or "Yea, he called off every time there was a new damn game acting sick."

 

Most places will never give a bad reference anyhow for these reasons:

 

1: No responsible employer wants to hold people back, and it *usually* takes responsibility to be "the one they'll call and ask"

 

2: Most people operate with the golden rule (treat others the way you want to be treated)

 

3: It's 2008 and you just might kill them. lol.
