This hasn't happened yet or anything, but I've been thinking about this for some time, and was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on it.
I actually live in the same place I work. It's a big operating ranch, outdoor education center, nature reserve-y type thing, corporate retreat center, etc. etc.
There are a few of us that live in houses on the property, including both me and my boss.
If the day came where I had to go interview at another job without much notice, what would be the best way for me to get out of there?
Because obviously, I can't just call in sick, because then he will see that I'm not actually at home and that I took off somewhere, and he would know I'm lying.
It's also a very small administration staff here, so they are going to be all up in my business either way asking me about where I went.
Any thoughts or suggestions on this unique situation, and what I could say/how I could get off work to fly to an interview and not have them know what's up?
When I see other folks at work suddenly disappear for interviews,they seem to consistently say they have a family emergency and need to go back home for a few days. They never day any details about the nature of the family emergency, although I never prod.
How about you take a vacation day? Just tell people you went away somewhere and had a good time.
Well, because if it's on short notice and you say "I'm gonna use a vacation day, just go somewhere and have a good time." and then your boss says, "Oh no, Tuesday's not a good day at all, we've got that meeting with so and so...
Then at that point you can't be like, "Well, actually I've got like, this family thing I have to deal with."
How about the truth? "I'm considering making some changes, and I have a job interview on Tuesday." Do you not have a good enough relationship with your employers? Are you some sort of indentured servant trying to escape?
I took two days off work to fly across the country for job interviews, with my boss's knowledge. Why wouldn't I want him to know? He also wrote a letter of recommendation.
