While most bosses are a nightmares to ask leaves from, some are just darlings about it. A wonderful example of the latter is this incident that took place somewhere and has gone viral on Reddit.
All of us have lied to get a leave from work because we knew that the real reason would never get us a day off from work. However, some bosses appreciate honesty and instead of throwing it back in your face, take it in good spirit.?
A man who got a salary hike for his hard work ended up calling in sick after celebrating with drinks. A hilarious text conversation between the boss and his employee has gone viral on social media.
The conversation was posted on Reddit with the caption, 'Gave a guy at work a good pay rise for hard work and this is the message I got the next day, this is how you know you're British.'
The screenshot of the text conversation shows the employee asking for leave by saying, 'Morning. Sorry about this but may I take today as leave? I had a drink last night to celebrate and I went overboard, got drunk, now sick as a dog. Bad hangover, not going to clear for hours I can feel it. Is leave today OK mate?'
The employee's honesty is appreciated by the boss who replies, 'Absolutely, you totally deserve it and for the record, that reason you need the holiday is the greatest reason ever.'
One user said, 'Got to admire the honesty & you seem like a great boss!' Another wrote, 'Respect and trust is earned and seems like a boss who respects his staff will have it back tenfold.'
A third user commented, 'You want to keep your employees? This is how you keep your employees,' and we couldn't agree more!
