My husband unexpectedly has a long weekend from work (Saturday-Wednesday). He hasn't seen his family,who lives 12 hours away, in 5 years. Last night he decided that he's going to make the trip down to see them while he's off work. He wants me to come with him but I'd have to miss work on Tuesday.
I feel really bad about calling in. I've only been at my job for 4 months, although I've never called in or been late....what would you do? Should I stay home so that I can go to work on Tuesday or should I go with my husband and call in "sick"? (I work in a bank and we don't have many people on staff so there would only be 2 people there that day if I called off).
As it is--I'm not going, but I could easily be persuaded.

How often do you have such a great excuse to miss work? And it won't kill you to take a day off, think of how much it would mean to your husband if you came along and hell, it might be fun! People get sick I'm sure the bank will survive without you.
I've been begging my fiance to skip work and go meet my family (yeah I repeat FIANCE NEEDS TO MEET MY FAMILY) for a year now and I just think of how much fun it would be if he came with!

I'd likely go to work. It would be a shame to miss the family, but I'm sure they'd understand if you held up to the responsibility at work. You could always make another visit soon when you both have more free time.

It's family - you haven't been there in 5 years. I'd call in. It's only one day... I wouldn't do it for more than two days of work, though. And, I'd be sure to have at least another 4 to 6 months of good work attendance after it....

You should sit down and have a heart to heart with your hubby and then both decide what you should do. Maybe you can call your boss and maybe explain the situation or if you feel you should call in sick that is your decision. It's difficult but it is your choice!

honestly, I wouldn't, for the simple fact that if I phone in sick when I'm not I can gurantee I will be really sick the following week and have to suffer at work, why not go and you come back on sunday?

I don't see the problem. I mean, if you haven't called in sick, and you've been there for 3 months, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. I mean, It's for a good cause. That what my mom did when she went with her BF to see his parents in Mesa.

One call-off in 4 months is fine. Go with hubby :-))

The job can wait, your husband's family won't be around forever!

If you do not think you will be fired for it and you do NOT make a habbit of it, I don't see a reason why not
