CareerBuilder Reveals This Year’s Most Outrageous Excuses for Being Late to Work
Getting in to work on time is not always an easy task. You never know what will get in the way of your morning routine – and it’s not always traffic delays, missed alarms and bad weather, either.

When asked how often they come in late to work, 1 in 4 workers (25%) admitted they do it at least once a month, and 13% say it’s a weekly occurrence for them — on par with last year.
