| Survey Finds Plenty Of Fake Excuses For Missing Work POSTED: 9:56 am EDT October 10, 2005 CHICAGO -- Ever called work and said you were sick on a beautiful, sunny day? Sure you have, and a new survey shows you have plenty of company. According to CareerBuilder.com's annual survey of absenteeism at the office, 43 percent of workers said they called in sick with bogus excuses at least once during the last year. In the 2004 survey, only 35 percent admitted to fibbing. The survey also shows some hiring managers are catching on, with 23 percent saying they'd fired an employee for missing work without a legitimate reason. Among the more creative excuses for missing work: "I'm too drunk to drive to work;" (Slag?) "The ghosts in my house kept me up all night;" (PG) "I'm too fat to get into my work pants;" and (Phoneprincess) "My son accidentally fell asleep next to wet cement in our back yard. His foot fell in and we can't get it out." (Bob? - after NASCAR weekend)  SD | ||||||||
