Was T in the park any good though?

Depends really on who your employer is and how lenient they'll be ref this issue imo

wouldnt worry about it, same thing happened to someone that worked with me, he was on long term sick and my boss caught him down the beach catching some rays

He phoned you?

What is it you do for a job / is your position important? Really depends on company policy and partially how much they need you.

if your about to get sacked you will have to pull out the alcoholic card

pretend your an alcho and that your admission to the boss was a cry for help.

also tell him you wherent at T in the park but that you where at the really noisy local stripbar, because your addicted to that too. you said T in the park to hide your shame.

Then how the hell did you end up telling him you were partying it up? If he phoned you, then why did you take the call?

If you fraudulantly claimed sick pay, then this is normally a disciplinary offence, and can qualify as gross misconduct, which means, yes, if that's the company policy, you could be sacked.

Going to really depend on how your company's processes are written and how much they are willing to tolerate from you.

A guy where I work phoned in sick once and I found him down the beach after work. He didn't get a damn thing for it.

just tell them to prove it and your boss is lying because you are gay or something

He could just claim that he was suffering from a vitamin D deficiency

lol wouldnt have suprised me if he did say that, he had an excuse for everything

 

[Sime]

How the hell can you admit to your boss that? That's pretty dumb. You're dumb.

I once phoned in sick because I was actually sick. I felt bad for doing such an honest thing

 

[Cyanide]

Absent without leave is usually classed as gross misconduct which can mean instant dismissal without needing written warnings first. The fact that you already have a warning doesn't bode well.

 

[Darkwave]

Owned, owned, owned. I hope you get sacked, if only for being so stupid.

YOU'RE FIRED!!
