Q12. I'm going to give a situation for you to act out. Your boss just asked you to stay to work overtime tonight. However, you must leave on time tonight. Explain the situation to your boss and give reasons why you cannot work overtime.
Excuse me, sir. Do you have a minute? I'd like to talk about working overtime tonight. I understand we're extremely busy with the project. I'm also aware that we need to work overtime to meet the deadline. However, there is a problem. Tonight my family has a memorial service for my deceased grandfather. I am the only grandson in my family, so I am responsible for holding the service. If I don't go, my father would have to take care of everything by himself. I'm sorry that I have to leave on time tonight. However, I've already finished 95% of the project and I handed it over to Brain to finish it. If needed, I can come this Sunday to complete it. May I do that?
