There is nothing better than getting the afternoon off to go relax or go enjoy some time having fun before the sun goes down. But how do you take the afternoon off and still keep your job…
Here are some good techniques for sneaking out but still have a job tomorrow:
- Hang a jacket on the back of your chair
- Leave a half-eaten sandwich in plain view on the desk
- Schedule emails for delivery while you are gone, so it looks like you are still somewhere in the building
- Hold meetings outside the office frequently, so everyone is used to seeing you come and go
- Purchase an extra wallet and set of keys and leave them on your desk
- Schedule a doctor’s appointment at 1 or 2, pay the $20 copay, leave with the rest of the afternoon knowing you’re in good health
- Brew a cup of coffee and leave it steaming on the desk
- Tell a coworker you are downloading something and could he revive your computer from the screensaver
- Rush out as if it’s an emergency with no time to explain
- Work late one day, leave early the next, you’ll miss a TV show, that’s it
