MoonGoodandHappy Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Have you ever said "no" to your boss calling you to replace an absent worker ? I only said "no" 2 times in 3 years and each time I refused, i felt so guilty... What about you ?

jesus del rey Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I always try not to go over my working hours and the labor laws in the Netherlands are quite good so you can confidently say no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yes multiple times, bc some supervisors take that for granted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Who Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 This only happened when I was in retail and I just started ignoring the phone when they’d call. Retail work hours are HELL so I was going to enjoy the little time off I got. Nowadays, I don’t think this scenario is possible as I work in Marketing and we all do the same days / hours.

mercurialworld Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yes, although now I work a job in which this notion does not exist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The overtime pay at my job is good so I usually accept but my work are generally chill so it’s fine if I say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetblindness Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Wtf? Yeah I have, and no I didn't feel guilty about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwonderfactory Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yes because it’s not my responsibility to fill someone else’s workload. If it’s my day off, I’m sleeping in and my phone is on airplane mode (it always is when I’m asleep), so if you call, it’s going directly to voicemail. Sorry, not sorry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekkan Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I have in the past when I was working in retail, multiple times actually. Now I'm 9-5 and the only person in my role so I'm comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 This happened on my birthday 10 years ago where my shift ended at 6:00. One of the tellers needed to leave early so they asked me to stay in their place and close their till for them. I declined and said that I had birthday plans that I wasn’t going to miss. I think my boss was annoyed but in the grand scheme of things I’m glad I stood up for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gesamtkunstwerk Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 My bosses are so nice regarding if I need a day off or vacation, so I usually say yes unless I have other plans. If I can’t, I don’t feel guilty, it’s not my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamil24 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 When I was a student working at McDonald's, I always said "sorry I can't", without providing a reason. It's not a big deal at all, they just move on to asking the next person. They still made me a manager, and when it was my job to ask people to come in I also did not care when people said no.

Raver Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yes I do feel bad saying No but I always remind myself that those that call off get no disciplinary action taken against them so I shouldn’t either for rejecting a shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamianSolo Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Of course, more times than not. "I'm busy and have plans today I can't cancel, sorry." I'm not inconveniencing myself so you can be convenienced, especially when I know it's something you can still handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
