When US is going through the economic crisis, then it is really frustrating to see the excuses made by employees to their employer for granting them the leave. Here are the top 10 excuses used by the employees:

1> I don’t have the cloth to wear today, so I am unable to reach to the office.

2> I got a good parking space outside my house; I don’t want to miss that.

3> I got the cat which went on missing from last few days. I am taking care of her.

4> I donated too much blood last night so will take rest today.

5> Got the heart attack in the morning, recovering now. Will come to office once settled.

6> Took heavy amount of toothpaste in the morning, so feeling bad.

7> Met with one of the accident with a doggy, while I was on my bike.

8> Got injured with the bottle of beer which felt from the fridge.

9> Did not be able to sleep last night due to police interrogation of a case of murder. The incident took place behind my house.

10> My girl friend has to go to the doctor and I will have to accompany her.

Most of the employers never try to ask any reason from their employees about their absence. A few of employers some time ask for a note from the doctor in case of medical leave. Still people use these types of funny reasons.

Many times in our life we should have to refuse some situations but because of various reasons and weakness in our personality we are unable to say a NO which gives rise to future difficulties. You might be feeling shy, afraid or ashamed of saying NO or you might not want to hurt the feelings on the other person but a NO secures our future and is a need of the moment, then How to tackle this NO?

Think before giving an answer to the person. Ask yourself if there might be any circumstances that could make you take that proposition. Make the things clear while saying a NO. Behave as friendly as possible. You can use sentences like –“If only you didn’t live that far…” or “The thing is I’m not feeling well now”.

Words used by you while explaining your NO can make a grate change on the reaction of the concerned person. Be positive in your conversation. Use “I feel” instead of “You make me feel”. There is no need for the other party to feel guilty. Show and tell what you like about him or her.

Refuse straightly but be elegant while speaking. Make it clear that the other isn’t for you, don’t give desert hope. But in case a Yes is possible but you have doubts then you can give some hope after a clear explanation of your doubts and the situation but the next step will have to be yours.

In case the person wants to push you in any threatening situation then forget your elegance. Be firm in saying a strict NO. If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, forget your manners and set boundaries strictly otherwise you will have to pay in future.

It is always better to think before acting instead of regretting in future. Learn from your past experience. NO is a better option than to regret.
