Unfortunately true lol

I would send him a nice note; letting him know what a treat it was to see a friendly face during your pto. Then ask when he would like to play a round together. Problem solved

Just make sure nobody is waiting on anything from you by the end of the day and it’s no problem.

It could be worse. It could be your partner sucks at golf, asks you to play a round with him, you made up an excuse to not go, only to end up right behind his group with your buddies. It was going so well till I downed 3 bloody Marys and busted out a monster drive and had to fore-warn the group ahead.

The obvious solution to this problem is to stalk him on a nightly basis until you find something you can use to blackmail him. If you can't find anything just order an escort to his home and then take pictures of him answering the door.

Problem solved.

If you weren’t pto and you figured you could just pretend to work you probably should get fired. That said take the pto now but ask yourself why you didn’t just do that to begin with.

Anyone else miss the days where you could knock off early in the summer to go play a round and no one cared?

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

How can I politely and professionally decline their request?
