As we all know, tantrums are a natural part of the workplace. But sometimes, they can be a real pain in the neck. Here are some exceptions to our attendance policy for employees who are having a bad day... or week... or month.
Exception 1: The "I just spilled coffee on my shirt" Exception
This is a real classic. If you've just spilled coffee on your shirt and are feeling frazzled, we understand. Just take a few deep breaths, grab a new shirt, and get back to work.
Exception 2: The "I forgot my lunch" Exception
We've all been there. Just take an extra break, grab a snack from the break room, and try not to cry in the supply closet.
Exception 3: The "I just saw a cat outside" Exception
Okay, we're not really sure this one is a real thing, but we're willing to roll with it. Just take a few minutes to gaze out the window, and try not to get too distracted by the squirrels.
Don't forget, these exceptions are only for serious cases of tantrum-ness. If you're having a non-serious case of the Mondays, you're on your own.
