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

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.

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.

      We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
