My boss is going on vacation next week. I was going to take some time off for appointments, but now I think I might just do the appointments (personal appointments) and not say anything bc no one will be around to notice. Is that horrible?

I don't think that's horrible as long as you follow through on getting everything done, including any additional tasks your boss might have left for you. Do you think any of your other coworkers would care?

Not sure.

As long as the time for your appointments isn't going to have an impact on business, it's not horrible at all. I always get nervous about things like that because with my luck if I'm out of the office doing something personal, I just know something urgent will pop up. But if there's no danger of that, you might as well attend to your appointments.

Why not just document it knowing there is no one to say no to you. CYA just in case??? Instead of being shady??

lol I did decide not to be shady after all!

I would document anyway. I'd rather sort it properly so it can't be used against me in the future.

You’re not horrible, and do not feel guilty about taking a little time for personal appointments. I’m open with my boss and just put it on her calendar. I have a dentist appt in a few weeks and she will be gone, it’s on her calendar and if she needs me I will get back to her when I’m back at my desk, or if it’s urgent she can text me. And I always make sure taking this time never impedes my work, she knows all of my tasks will be completed in a timely manner and she can count on me to be an adult,
