Bit of a conundrum: my wife has an interview at 11 am next Monday.
She was only told about the interview today, and needs a good excuse not to be in work until about 1ish so she can attend. Her current employers don't know she has applied for other jobs, and this has the possibility of being contentious, as whilst they can't afford to pay her a decent wage or offer her the career progression opportunities she's after, they certainly can't afford to lose her. Unfortunately, one or two of the managers are quite spiteful, and she's worried they may make life difficult for her in her present position if she lets them know she's looking elsewhere.
Now I'm sure MrsZ isn't the only person to have been in this position, so what worked for other people? The trouble is the timing - asking for leave at such short notice, especially after xmas will be difficult without a good reason. She's not so keen on lying and saying she has a doctor's appointment.
