My boss just did this, for a good reason as her partner unexpected and prematurely went into labour, but it did get me wondering in what other situation this is an acceptable thing to do

    As others have said, it depends on your job and what’s going on that day, but in my career, I have left work early just to take my kids to the zoo.

    I told my boss I was leaving. He asked me why. I said, “It’s a gorgeous summer day, life is short and I’m gonna take my kids to the zoo.”

    He kinda eyeballed me for a second and then laughed and said “Ok. Have fun!”

    And we did.
