Bosses can be persuaded over World Cup fever

by Rudy Scheinost
As World Cup fever continues to sweep the country, workers should look to talk to their bosses about watching the football extravaganza, rather than taking days off sick.

With the tournament getting underway last Friday, thousands of workers up and down the country would have been listening to headphones or watching live streams on their computer at work.

While some bosses might approve of this, others will not, and it is important to speak to the people in charge instead of risking their wrath.

Some managers might be prepared to get into the spirit by letting staff watch matches where there is a special interest, such as England games, however, it is always a good idea to negotiate so that you can enjoy the tournament without losing your job.

A recent survey by YouGov pointed out that by allowing staff to watch matches, bosses can help raise morale, with 48 per cent stating that this move would be a boost to them.ADNFCR-2975-ID-19836970-ADNFCR
