Saw the news article on the other board so thought I'd see how far we get with this.
In my first ever managerial job I was always a bit slack when it came to timekeeping. Still am.
The guys who turn up at 10am are usually the ones who'll stay until 8pm without any question, so picking up on 2 or 5 minutes here and there is never what I've done.
Anyway.
This one guy I employed came out with 2 crackers.
He was a grad, so his first proper job and crack at the real world.
I swear these excuses are genuine and I am not making them up.
1. He rang me up once saying he's going to be late because he needs to glue the sole onto his shoe as its come loose. No problem. 5 minutes later, rang me back saying while trying to fix them, HE'D GLUED HIS SHOE TO THE DOORSTEP. Ha ha ha ha ha
2. He use to go on about this old fat cat he had. Phone went at 11am.
"Andy, I'm so sorry, I've only just woke up... The cat SLEPT on my head, covering my ears and I didn't hear my alarm"
Honestly I still laugh thinking about them
