Intoxicated Shift
If you’re informing your boss that you’re drunk to avoid working on your supposed day off, it’s time to step back and reassess your priorities. Engaging in such a conversation not only puts your professionalism into question but also places you on shaky ground in terms of job security and respect within the workplace. Furthermore, don’t fall into the trap of believing that your honesty about such matters will somehow win you favor.
On the contrary, your boss is likely to be far from impressed by this display of supposed transparency. Instead, they will see it as a clear attempt to dodge your responsibilities, reflecting poorly on your character and work ethic. Engaging in this kind of behavior can significantly damage the trust and rapport you’ve built, potentially leading to consequences you could have easily avoided with a more straightforward and honest approach to communication and commitment to your work. Next time you’re asked to work on your day off, maybe just be honest with your boss. Tell them that you have plans or that you need a break. They might not like it, but they’ll respect you for being upfront with them. And who knows, they might even give you a break and let you have the day off.
