I would like some honest advice on my situation. Here it goes...
There's a gig next Friday that I have been planning to go to for the last two months. I foolishly brought the non-refundable tickets before getting the day off work. It was two months away and I'd thought they would never refuse something so in advance.
However, they fooled me around I was not about to get my holiday forms in until six weeks until the gig. They refused my day off.
I'm aware of my own stupidity here, but would they do anything if I called in sick on the day of the show? It would be six weeks since I even asked for the day off so they could of forgotten. Not too mention, it's over 3 hours away, so chances of walking into someone at work would be very slim. It's not the mature thing to do, but I have my heart set on this and I am leaving soon anyways.
TL;DR Would they sack me if I called-in sick on a day that they refused me holiday on six weeks ago?
