My work is having a "mandatory" employee meeting this Sunday, that I have no intention of attending. I have been to several of these meetings and there is always a lot of bitching with nothing really being resolved or acomplished. I left my boss a not letting him know that I would not be attending because I would be out of town. I am now expecting him to call me. Why can I say I am leaving town? (It must sound important and believable!)

I don't believe you owe him an explanation. Unless you signed some kind of contract with you organization when you were hired stating that these conferences are a condition of your employment. You should check with the labor board in your state.

Work to change your situation not avoid it. Avoiding it gets out of one meeting. If you get yourself out of too many meetings you could also be getting yourself out of a job.
Go to the meeting. When you signed up for the job it should have been clear that this was part of the deal.
There are probably other people at the meeting that don't want to be there (maybe that's why they complain about things so much). Get your heads together with them to work out how you can make the meeting more effective or unnecessary.

grow to be this assembly set in the previous couple of days/hours? if so, only tell your boss that you've already got plans. it might nicely be to party with relatives, a theater experience, out of city, and so on. Who says that you do not protect a ill relative over the weekend or that you are able to demonstrate screen your pal's youthful little ones, and so on. in case you already made plans prior to this assembly being set, who's to assert that it is not out of city, that it does no longer reason you to lose earnings case you canceled or that it does no longer placed you out. If the assembly grow to be set for an unscheduled artwork day, then you honestly have each excellent no longer to bypass. i don't believe of it truly is any of his corporation of the position or what you're doing this weekend.

First, when was the meeting scheduled? If they told you six months in advance, you can't say that it coincided with something else. You really can't say that it was an emergency, not if you told him several days before the meeting. What you could have told him was that on Sundays you go to church, and he should have honored that, no questions asked. Remember the Sabbath day... no work!

helping your mother/father/aunt/sibling move accross your state. everyone moves on a weekend, watching your little cousin/sibling/neighbor (babysitting) while they go out of town for a sick relative, keep it mundane but shift the focus from you, basically blame someone else, that way you won't be required to come up with details

Tell him you are going away for your brothers, or nephews, or someone Bar Mitzvah (If you are Jewish).
Or you can tell him that my brother, or uncle, or a relative is getting married, out of town, and I am marching in the wedding.

To meet and speak with a suicidal relative might work.

good friend / relative had a baby and you already made arrangements to go. make sure its several hours away that you would be too tired to go out and back the same day, also be prepared to answer boy? girl? name?.........most won't get into those details (especially males, sorry but true), but best to have the answers
