Enjoy the wedding, make sure you cover your tracks and I'd say Tesco's will survive and still be standing on Monday.

Don't ever forget a compnay like that will leave you go in hearbeat.

Just cover your tracks.

The old Facebook, Twitter thing does make it a bit difficult these days in all fairness!

Yip, no doubt they will, and ya know, they won't miss the OP when he's gone. There will be no shortage if people to take his job. Everyone's a winner.

God damn corporate bigwigs always trying to keep the little man down.

Enjoy the wedding!

You seem to be taking this personally - relax about it.

Look, if the guy wants to go to the wedding, no prob, off he goes. But if he claims he is sick and gets caught out, job gone. So telling him to go on, enjoy yourself, don't worry, is fine if he doesn't need the job/income. If he does, then he should not complain if he loses it. He wants both, go to wedding and keep job.

You right that sentence as if that's a bad thing.

While I don't agree with what the OP is doing, it's not going to be the end of the world (or his employer) if he calls in sick.
Is it irresponsible and childish? Yes.
Is he, or his employer, going to care in a few months time? Probably not.
Hell, he's probably not going to be working there in a year or two's time.

The OP has a manager that they don't get on with and are leaving them in the lunch on a busy trading weekend. I'd say it'll be remembered and if he's not disciplined he won't be any near the top for any plumb jobs, like his current roll which he's worried about being moved from

I really doubt a company the size of Tesco would have a department with 1 employee scheduled to work a long weekend.

Exactly, so it isnt a company of that size at all. Listen OP, you are the one who knows if you are leaving people in the lurch here and how they will react if you do that. If you are the only person in this department, what happens to that department when you dont turn up? If the answer to that is anything other than mild discomfort, expect to be put under scrutiny and if your story is any way shakey, expect your manager to remember it, because let's face it, if you were in his position, wouldnt you? That is just the reality of it. It might be nice to listen to the people who are making the company sound like a big multinational and that your move is insignificant, but if you are the only person in a department that simply isnt the case. I would say there is a fairly decent chance you could lose your job if you were caught, so you need to decide if that is a big deal for you. Best case scenario it comes to nothing too serious and you learn to be a bit more organised in the future, because let's face it, if this was done to you by one of your work colleges I doubt you would be too impressed.

I agree Iv acknowledged I should have been more organised. However there is nothing I can do now and I do not get paid enough for it to be anything other than mild discomfort

And the honest responsible type. Slackers take a hike, there are hundreds to take your place.

Smurphy1988, don't ask questions you won't like the answer to. Drop the attitude please.

I'm not the one with the attitude. Nor am I making it personal. I respect opinions not insults

On holiday in a place 5hrs behind and where there are long ques to meet oversized rodents. Telling someone they are risking their job by pretending to be sick isn't trolling.

Maybe a hobby might remove that chip off your shoulder then

Honestly if you're asking how to blag off sick registering with your name and your DOB isn't the smartest thing to do.

I mean there's probably not too many 26 year old S. Murphys who are going to be sick form Tesco this weekend are there?

Boards is a popular site, you'll land yourself in it before you've even made the phone call.

I acknowledge that but you seemed to be taking it personally regrettably

And I think that's enough. PM me if you've a problem with the thread being locked.
