'I have to attend a wedding/funeral'

June 3, 2008
Weddings and funerals are always a valid reason to miss out on work, but make sure you don't overdo these. Unless it's someone in your immediate family that's getting married, don't take a week's leave or more, it creates a poor impression.

Also, some employees take things too casually and have been known to get caught. Remember that you have only two grandmothers and it's unlikely that they would suddenly pass away within six months of each other. And if your sister got married three months ago, see to it that she doesn't drop by on your lunch hour with her two-year-old in tow!
