What are some of the usual, funny and weird work from home excuses that you folks have come across? 1. Dentist appointment. 2. Expecting a package. 3. Dog emergency. 4. Didn’t sleep well last night.
Wfh, no excuses
We just wfh because we want to. Nobody cares why
Why would a dentist appt be weird? That’s a valid reason.
I just tell my team that I will be wfh today. No further details needed.
I make it a point to never include a justification. That way I can interview freely without lying to my boss/team
Never needed an excuse because no need to inform my team
When I worked with a shitty team at my older job, used to give shitty reasons like I am sick so can’t come to office. Too poor to take a leave so I will wfh. This was not on email though
"Didn’t sleep well last night." I literally have a guy on my team that does this every monday...
Need to take car for repair. Handyman coming in for repairs. OD’d last night. Need to go to alcoholics anonymous meet. Girl/guy I met on tinder last night made love to me like a beast so I can’t walk. Feeling horny, need to jack off so will be late, it’s better I wfh to save commute time. All very good reasons
"I need to take my kids to soccer practice"
