How do I tell my boss I am running late?

Three messages feel hard at every job: I am late, I need help, I am sick. Each is three honest sentences, AI drafts them in seconds, and sending them early builds trust instead of breaking it.

The steps

  1. Say what happened: my bus is late.
  2. Say what is next: I will be there by 9:15.
  3. Say thank you.
  4. Have a person you trust check it if you want.
  5. Send it as early as you can.

Stay safe

  • Honest and early beats perfect and late, every time.
