Requests for Compassionate leave

[Troll]

Am not getting this? Why would a contractor need compassionate leave? They go when they want (with agreement from client ofc) and don't get paid for it?
Why would they expect to get paid for not working?

Or is this just a troll post for some humour and jolly japes in General and has no factual content whatsoever which has completely passed me by??

NLUK you are being too literal in your interpretation of the words "compassionate leave" and I suspect applying a permie flavour that isn't there
Think of these more along the lines of the contractors were already on the premises and wanted to leave early because their budgies died etc

The clues are contained within the lines

she doesn't feel up to working the rest of the day

but wanted to go home anyway

They would make great IT contractors if they could type.

A cat is man's slightly weird, obnoxious flatmate that looks down it's nose at you and then steals all your food.

Cats are just gay dogs.
