Old guy here...you won’t ever look back on your life and say I’m glad I worked more
"Sorry boss, just got a call - family emergency. See you later, kike."
Don't let that cunt ruin your date by forcing you to work overtime while he is at home with his wife.
You give plenty of notice to the kike for vacation. Why doesn't the kike give plenty of notice of overtime?
Because the kike thinks he owns you and every last minute of your time.
Ditch work. Finding a partner is worth damn near any job.
Are you really worried about losing a job where they treat you like a Victorian scullery maid? If your boss complains, tell him he's "triggering" your "PTSD," and that's against the rules in the Employee Handbook.
She will probably cancel the date and you will be stuck with no job and no girl.
Tell your boss that you will remote in after 10 to ensure no one is on the network or whatever BS excuse you can give him. Tell him you have diarrhea. Maybe just explain to him that you have a date. I would say try your best to get out of work because work is gay and fucking chicks is not.
she's just been busy
If a girl is really into you she will find the time.
I'd do your job.
Same doesnt go for him?
Just looked and saw this too. She wasn't even taking the time to respond on the phone. Not a good sign. OP could blow off work for a date that she cancels at the last minute.
You might be right.
Yes, but the way he wrote about it leads me to infer he has been generally available while she has not. Hence the issue of him feeling pressure to neglect work to date on this specific day/time.
I could be wrong but that's how I took it.
I don't know about life there, but in most places your boss won't appreciate your sacrifices and there won't be any future reward for them. So the girl might not be worth it but still there is some possibility of a good outcome, which can't be said about the common work situation of having to stay late at work.
Imo I’ve worked a few programming jobs. Working overtime is a gift from you to them. You don’t owe it if you don’t have it.
I had two jobs that over worked me. The third I set up immediately that when 5 hits, I’m out. And I was fire me mother fucker serious about it.
If you already have established that you get worked over time by them, I’d consider having a talk with them if you can get this night an exception and start talking about you getting exceptions in the future.
Women don’t like overworked guys btw. It’s not a signal that’s gonna get a neutral reaction at best.
Unless overtime and staying late were expected when you were hired or promoted, I'd be out of there and on to the date.
Bail on the work. Seriously, that’s always the answer. Are you working to live, or living to work? On top of that, it’s that ONE girl. Do not pass up that chance.
EDIT: I’m not saying a girl is worth more than a job, or even a job well done. You have a previous commitment. It’s to a girl, ya, but still. Honor your previous commitment.
How easy are you to replace?
