The famous Career Builder “Most Outrageous Excuses for Being Late” survey found 16 percent of employees are late for work at least once a week. The most popular excuse: traffic delay, followed by lack of sleep and bad weather.
Some of the best:
• Employee said he was late because he had no intention of getting to work before 9AM. His start time was 8AM.
• Employee’s cat had the hiccups
• Employee believed his commute time should count toward his work hours
• Employee claimed a fox stole her car keys
• Employee had to take a personal call from the state governor (turned out to be true)
