A woman who recruited her identical twin to cover for her while she went on vacation ended up being caught after making one mistake.
We all need a break from work every now and again, but most of us are unfortunately at our boss' will when it comes to actually taking them.
TikToker and twin Ari Chance fell victim to this restriction when she attempted to take a few days off last month, as according to a video shared on the page she shares with her twin Noe, she found that her request got denied.

Normally, that would be the end of it - you'd have to go in to work as normal. But with an identical twin to help her out, Ari allegedly came up with a plan.
According to their TikTok video, Noe 'replaced' Ari at work while she was on vacation to avoid her boss finding out that she'd ignored his instructions.
Noe appeared in a video in which she appeared to be driving to Ari's place of work, with a caption which read: "Me replacing my twin at work while she's on a trip because her leave request got denied."

Viewers praised the idea after seeing the video, with one writing: "Yes we all should have a doppelgänger for these purposes."
Other TikTok users begged for an update, but it turns out the plot didn't quite go as smoothly as planned.
The thing is, bosses have TikTok too.
In an update shared this month, Ari posted a video with the caption: "My boss saw the video my twin posted while covering for me at work."

"WE MESSED UP," the twins added alongside the clip.
In the video, Ari held her hand over her face before cutting to an image which appeared to show an email from her boss slamming her 'unacceptable behavior'.
The email described Ari and Noe's plot as a 'slap in the face' to Ari's colleagues and the company, adding: "Your actions not only reflect poorly on yourself but also tarnish the reputation of our company. This level of disregard for protocol and decorum is frankly shocking and will not be tolerated."

Ari was also warned that 'any further instances of misconduct will result in serious consequences, including potential disciplinary action'.
Fans were taken aback by the update, and while some viewers have questioned whether the email is real, others couldn't get over the language allegedly used by the boss.
"Disappointed regards is my new favorite signature," one wrote of the boss' sign-off.
Another addressed Ari and wrote: "I NEED to know what your response to this is because WHAT."
