Tell them you were violently raped on the way to work and contracted AIDS.

There's some weird dynamic going on where people feel a loyalty and obligation to their employer when the employer does not return that same loyalty.
I see people worried about giving "2 weeks notice" before quitting so as not to screw over the employer...... the truth is that when that same employer decides your services are no longer needed.... they bounce you out that day. They don't give you "2 weeks notice" to give you a chance.
If you don't want to go to work that day, you don't owe or need an "excuse".... your responsibility ends at "I'm not coming in today"
There's nothing else they need to know
I don't think we'd ever lay someone off without giving them at least 2 weeks severance pay. Firing for doing something wrong is a different story.
You have a shitty job if you can't just say you're sick.
