Blame it on the traffic: 16% of workers late once per week
A new survey from CareerBuilder found that more workers are getting to work on time. The company surveyed over 5,000 employees.
16% of those surveyed responded that they are late to work at least 1 time per week, down from 20% last year.
8% said they are late at least 2 times per week, down from 12% last year.
Reasons for tardiness:
I’m willing to bet that most workers are still under the impression that they are being watched, and are getting to work early or on time as a way to show their loyalty to the job.

• Put beer in the vending machine.
• Allow jail time to be covered under family medical leave policy.
• Put in a special smoking area for medical marijuana.
• Permit employee to work only during daylight hours because of fear of the dark.
• Give employee more time off to pursue side business as a clown.
• Let employee replace his desk with a futon so he can work lying down.
• Hold the next team meeting in Hawaii.
• Require the HR manager to wear nicer shoes.
