How to tell boss that I have family crisis?
I have a family crisis in that my brother may kill himself and I am very upset and think I should be using this time to try to help him rather than going into work tonight.
My boss is a bit of a ***** and I know she's going to be rude about it, but the truth is that I cannot go into work because I am worried sick and can't manage to stop crying for more than 2 minutes.
What do I say when I call?

Who cares if she's rude about it? If you need to look after your brother, then you go look after him. Don't lie to your boss. If you stick to the truth, you don't need to keep track of all the lies you've told.

This is always the problem when working for others as opposed to having one's own business. I can't stand working for other people, generally speaking.

If you cant lie then say "i am going to take the day off work today, its a very personal family problem, is that ok?" he wont take the piss if you say its very personal.
