I told my boss that my grandma died in order to get out of work.
What was your reason for lying about something this serious though?
I hate working at that office, and I would do anything to get out of there.
When your family members actually die, it is fine to take some time off to process the trauma. What you just did with this lie and deceived your boss to the point where he may not trust the next person. You should come clean and apologize, and then look for a new job because this one seems like it isn't for you.

Lying about something like death is just a very dark thing to do. Death is such a terrible thing to have happen, so to make light of it is just disrespectful.
