Employee benefit firms owe a lot of their success to teamwork, which can be challenged by absentee or tardy employees. Traffic is the most common cause of tardiness among employees (50%), followed by lack of sleep (30%) and bad weather (26%). But those are just the tip of the iceberg, according to CareerBuilder. Here are some of the most bizarre reasons employees actually said they were late to work.
I knocked myself out in the shower.
I was drunk and forgot which Waffle House I parked my car next to.
I discovered my spouse was having an affair, so I followed him this morning to find out who he was having an affair with.
Someone robbed the gas station I was at, and I didnt have enough gas to get to another station.
I had to wait for the judge to set my bail.
There was a stranger sleeping in my car.
A deer herd that was moving through town made me late.
Im not late. I was thinking about work on the way in.
I dreamed that I got fired.
I went out to my car to drive to work, and the trunk had been stolen out of it.
