Almost one in every five people in Canada said they are late for work at least once a week. That was up two percent from just one year ago.
Lack of sleep and traffic troubles were the top two excuses, but bosses said they have had some creative reasons for someone being late.
“A bear smashed my car window”, “a prostitute stole my car keys”, and a take on an old excuse for not getting homework done, “my dog ate my blackberry” were just some of the reasons given.
