At worst, you get caught, get fired and get sued for fraud. That's more for getting time off that you didn't earn and not the case the OP, though. Also, the only good excuse is actually called a reason. | |

At one my previous workplaces a colleague said she's converted to Judaism. She got Friday afternoons off. Rightfully so (it could have been true...), and our manager didn't dare say a word | |
