It's actually sometimes very difficult to call out of work without a good reason. My advice - if you have a real reason, give it and then you won't have to blush in front of your boss if your deception is discovered. But there is also a second effective way (in fact, there are several). You can find these ways on this page https://resumekit.com/blog/how-to-call-out-of-work/ . As someone who has employees of my own, I can tell you that this would work for me. Maybe some of my employees have already used these tips and I didn't get anything about it :D

Do you have any tips on how to take a day off work? I only need advice that will actually help me get off work from my strict boss.
