We once went for a long weekend up north and I phoned in on the last day to say the car had broken down and we'd had to book it in over night, so wouldn't be back until the following evening. We'd actually just decided to stay an extra day
.
These days I don't really have a boss or line manager so I just say I won't be available on teams. Usually try to reply to any important emails etc. from my phone.
It wouldn't be a problem unless I started taking the piss with it, in which case I'd probably be called up by a director for a chat. But would be the C.O.O / HR manager first to check if everything's OK and they're lovely
. Worst case scenario I'd get a stern word from the CEO.
