Love /
Fell in love; I need to go back to Poland for 2 months - what to say at work (UK) [50]
1) You wrote what you wrote, that pretty much sums up your initial intentions, so don't act like nothing happened. We are not all wee kids here, you know, and we can make our own observations.
In your case my observation is: You received the ( well-deserved ) negative response for trying to fcuk your boss out of his money illegally, hence you pretend like it wasn't your initial intention.
2) I see you are having some trouble understanding what permanent employment really is.
You are employed permanently so your boss can expect you to be there at all times if/when required by law. Had he wanted things otherwise he would have hired temps from an agency for less $$.
Now there are certain unique situations in which law grants an employee the right to cease working and deal with an emergency of personal nature. Shacking up with a new boyo is not one of them.
Why does the law reserve such rights for emergency situations? Because, no matter how long a notice your employer is at a fcuking loss when one of his permanent employees decides to quit working for 2 months. In a best case scenario someone else has to carry the workload. And if they can't, guess who is losing money?
3) If you still don't understand what I'm talking about - feel free to head up to your boss and tell him about this uber-brilliant idea of yours - "Look, I'll give you plenty of notice and I'll be just gone for two months. You know, I just need to see if me and this guy can really hit it off. We cool, right?".
They'll either give you a big hug and tell you to go for it or fire you ( In this economy I'm strongly betting on the latter ) and the problem will be solved.
4) I've hardly been rude, I've been realistic. Too bad you can't take it.
5) I'll keep pointing my finger at you until the sun runs out of plasma. Because I sure as hell don't want the Polish to mass-import their lovely "oh, let's fake some disability/illness and screw my employer/the state out of their money" custom over to Blightey. People who do that should just hop on a plane and go back to where they came from.
6) Saying other people are thieves when you plan to steal is really no excuse.
