higher than your current competency level. You cannot be rated

to ask for it!"

for the employees to man.

How About Friday: My sister passed away and her funeral was scheduled for
Monday. When I told my Boss he accused her of dying just so that I would
have to miss work on the busiest day of the year. He then asked if we could
change her burial to Friday, suggesting "That would be a lot better for me."
