There are proper businesslike responses to requests or instructions that do not require millennial slang.
"Yes, I will work later on those certain days" is more professional and precise. Go with that.
or "I'll be glad to work those days" if you feel like brown-nosing just a little.
or "Yes, I'll be so happy that you are out of the office that I wouldn't even mind being here" if you must play with fire.

Exactly. I was asked can you stay late. My answer "Sure " in a text message at 9:30 at night. If it was in an email thats one thing. This is insanity.

Not bad word. But it really does come off as "I don't care".
Look, you can act like a kid and disagree all you want or you can try to learn from the advise.

I don't see how sure comes off as "I don't care". Sure means yes. Someone already posted the definition here. Maybe you guys who aren't sure what it means are using urban dictionary or something.

In Op's original post that answer "sure" has a connotation of meaning "yeah, okay I'll do it, but in my mind I'm thinking I have better things to do".
No. For me it means yes, no problem at all. A very confident yes. Just. like. the. dictionary. says.
