Best way to tell my boss to fug off? (Working on Sundays)


CamMoon

Recommended Posts

Long story short my boss scheduled me to work Sunday Sept 13th (the opener). Typically I get out of working Sundays by saying I can't work for religious reasons (lol) but I've been working the past few Sundays to pick up extra shifts so that probably won't fly at this job. I value my Sundays during the fall/winter as its really the only day I get to do absolutely nothing but sit on my ass and watch football.

What do you do and what are the scheduling policies?  At this point, you've set the precedent that you're available on Sundays and will need to reset the expectation by talking directly with your boss about it.  As far as what to say, you know best because you know your boss but agreed that your religious excuse won't work.

Pssssttt,  I still work on Sundays...  I'd show up around 8am and leave around 11am.  In this 3 hours I get more work done than I do during regular work day.

 

Get DVR CamMoon.  Having a job is more important than watching Panthers on LIVE tv.  I'd start looking for a job that not open on Sundays.

If you work in the service industry you're pretty much boned. Not a lot of people get their Sundays off and if they do it's only because they've been working there for years and have some sort of pull.

 

You had a good thing going with the religious thing but you likely blew it by letting your boss know you're okay working Sundays. You can't just go and undo that now.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
