CareerBuilder’s 2010 annual survey on absenteeism provided some very unusual excuses that people gave for missing work. I thought I would provide us all with a laugh and celebrate the “ingenuity” of our co-workers.
• Employee said a chicken attacked his mom.
• Employee’s finger was stuck in a bowling ball.
• Employee had a hair transplant gone bad. (I had a co-worker call in one time because her “hair coloring” was all wrong!)
• Employee fell asleep at his desk while working and hit his head, causing a neck injury (Workers' Compensation?)
• Employee said a cow broke into her house and she had to wait for the insurance man.
• Employee’s foot was caught in the garbage disposal. (There has to be a real story here!)
• Employee called in sick from a bar at 5 P.M. the night before.
• Employee said he wasn’t feeling too clever that day.
• Employee was in a boat on Lake Erie, ran out of gas and the coast guard towed him to the Canadian side.
And to celebrate our upcoming holiday:
• Employee called in the day after Thanksgiving because she had burned her mouth on pumpkin pie.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
