FYI, in Germany hangovers may have officially been ruled as an illness 😱

, few of us are willing to take the risk of telling our bosses that’s why we can’t make it in.

‘The companies that use our absence management system all pick a reason every time an absence is recorded, but we haven’t found a single customer that offered ‘hangover’ as an absence reason,’ Steve explains. But if there’s anything that raises suspicion, you could get called out for the fib and face action as a result.

And of course, remember that lying about a hangover the morning after a work party just won’t work. No one’s going to buy that you’ve got food poisoning when they saw you downing shots the night before.Neither, obviously, is just not turning up or rolling in late carrying the greasiest hash browns you can find.
