I was in another sub and someone was asking for photos of a positive COVID test to send to their boss to get out of work. This could also apply to a pic of a thermometer showing a fever

Don't just send that image into your boss. The metadata will be the wrong location and wrong date Instead, screen shot the image. Edit it to only show the original image and send THAT to your boss. All the data will point back to you

Flat tire is a great one to have in your camera roll. But you need to keep in mind the time of day, sun, all that stuff. But it can be a great excuse!

Jesus, what kind of shitty bosses do people have? I just text and say “won’t be in today sorry” and that’s it.

"Here's an LPT (Life Pro Tip) for anyone who needs to call out of work: take a screenshot of your boss's response or any relevant information and send it along with your message. This can help provide evidence that you followed proper protocols and can also serve as a record in case there are any misunderstandings or disputes in the future. Just make sure to redact any personal information or sensitive information before sending the screenshot.

this is also a good tip in general if you don’t want the info in your metadata sent to someone
