At the beginning of the week I told you about Careerbuilder's recent survey that asked bosses for the most ridiculous excuses they've heard from employees calling to say they'd be missing work. You all responded with stories of unbelievable excuses you've heard or used, and below are some that made my eyes pop! Some are true and some are not — which do you think is most outrageous?

There are two main points that I took away from reading the results of a recent Careerbuilder survey: Some bosses actually drive by employees' homes when they've called in sick, and some people will say anything to get out of going to work. Both parties are guilty, but the boss might be doing more damage than the employee in this case.
Thirty-one percent of the employers surveyed said they follow up with employees who call in sick, some require doctor's notes, others check in by calling, and a creepy percentage drives by the employee's home.

To all of you boss ladies out there, Happy Boss's Day! October 16 marks the holiday for showing our bosses how much they are valued, and with 56 percent of you respecting your superior it seems there is a lot of thanks to go around.
Boss's Day might be slightly uncomfortable for someone that isn't used to singing her boss's praises directly, but as long as it comes off as a genuine thank-you your boss will welcome your effort in reaching out.
