This is what life is all about, friends…

Lying to your manager and spending time with your dogs: does it get any better than that?

The answer is NO.

Check out this story from Reddit: we think you’ll be entertained.

I demand you stay at work.

“Many years ago I worked caring for challenging youngsters on the autistic spectrum.

Staffing was an issue, it resulted in not enough staff and under-qualified staff.

I was approaching my shift end & was aware we didn’t have sufficient staff for the evening, so called the “on call” manager to deal with it.

Now on call manager is a bad job, she won’t be able to find staff & will most likely have to do the shift herself.

Hmmm…

She was determined not to, so ordered me to stay, she claimed I had a legal duty.

I pointed out my legal duty doesn’t extend outside my contracted hours, this shift is not in my contracted hours.

She decided to stand her ground so I couldn’t resist messing with her.

So I told her…

“I have responsibilities at home too you know. I have a five & a seven year old at home who have had no one caring for them since 8 am. Do you really think it’s ethical to leave them for longer?”

I refused to enter further debate & told her I was leaving now.

I was still sniggering at the mess of paperwork my ‘child’ abuse admission will have created when my phone rang.

They got a call.

Director of child services – Hi mate

Me – Hi bud

Director – It’s your dogs isn’t it?

Me – Yes mate

Director – I take it she was being a jerk?

Me – Very much

Director – Cheers then

I’d loved to have seen her face.”

I’d say she made the right choice.

Dogs are people too!
