Funny article here from Inc.com about a CareerBuilder.com survey – Survey: Late Employees Lie.
As many as one in four employees admit to making up fake excuses for arriving late to work, a new study reveals.
Amazing that they invested the resources in running a survey on this topic. I always wonder about surveys regarding lies – maybe the respondents are lying in the survey?
At any rate, a good closing line from the article:
While hiring managers said they typically don’t question an employee’s excuse for being late, 27 percent said they usually don’t believe them when they do.
