What would you do in this situation…this girl asked me to go on a photo shoot tomorrow as a backup shooter (not work related) and i really want to go. I’ve been trying to do photography on the side, my job knows it’s one of my passions. Would you be honest and tell your job or make up an excuse? the shoot is only for like an hour and a half

Just tell them you have an appt. I don’t think it’s any of their business where you’re going. It’s only an hour and a half. You don’t want to be in a position where you’re asking for permission.

You can just say you need to step out for two hours, then ask if your CD would like you to put it in as a half day of PTO. They likely won’t care.

Don’t lie. “I have to step away for a few hours” is fine.

Yeah Drs appointment or need a half day of personal time.

Depends on your relationship with your CDs/ECD. I would just tell them and be honest especially since it’s just for an hour or two. Not like you’re missing a full day.

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?
