8. You DID call and leave a message – they didn’t get it?
OK, so we start with a “simple lie ” about there ever being a problem such as you not calling to explain why didn’t you show up. Is this a good option for you? Well, it all depends on your boss, and a colleague who would want to back you up, by saying he/she forgot to pass the message on. But this can’t work if your boss had already asked the entire office where you were and have you called, and they’ve already blown your “cover”. We are sure there are places where this could work, but not that many. And if you think you have a boss who will let you go with this…you may want to consider keeping such a job, because nice, understandable bosses are not everywhere around.
