It’s a fact that as humans, we all have excuses for being late, absent from work or taking leave at one point or the other. However, this becomes a problem for managers when employees show lack of concern for punctuality.
“Time is money” and every employer knows that but we face problems everyday in our lives which threaten to pitch us against organizational goals.
Although most managers try hard enough to show understanding, an employee is expected to put the organization first in order to get reasonable considerations when late, absent or on leave.
One dedicated worker had good reasons to record every excuse offered by his colleague as reasons for being late, over a period of one year.
He was considerate not to expose the information until his friend got fired.
The Redditor, who documented the events in a spreadsheet revealed all the ridiculous and overplayed excuses his co-worker used when he would be late if he even showed up at all. One thing about the records is, the sacked worker was very good at his excuses.
Diondrems works in tech support, a job that required him, and his co-worker, to be at work at 5 a.m.
Diondrems explained:
“He started in 2014 and was late almost every day for nearly 2 years before they decided to get rid of him. The times he was on time was because he was partying the night before and he’d usually sleep the first few hours of his shift.”
Diondrems continued:
“Im actually the reason he got the job. He worked with a friend at another job and it somehow came up that we had an opening.
“To make a long story short I gave my boss his resume vouching for him even though I had never met him. My position in our company is pretty chill so I’m not sure if they didn’t want to train someone new or what but yeah he lasted longer than a lot of people would at other companies.”
Sacking a worker like this one won’t bother him at all as he seem to have better things to do, don’t you think?

Laziness na bad ting.
I’m loss of words. Isn’t this betrayal?
What that his job to records another worker’s excuses? He’s as bad as the oth person if he left his job to do this.
An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. What did his boss say about his records? I bet he was sacked, too.
I hate excuses at work even if I’m the one telling it.
So funny. Excuses will always be there because we are humans.
“Enjoying the information on this website, you’ve done a _superb job on the content.”
Was is the right thing to do? Shouldn’t he be working instead of taking records on a fellow worker who was taking excuses. Both of them should be fired the same time.
Thanks, buddy. Your blog will stand the test of time. Just keep writing.
Employers always have a way of punishing employees who often give excuses to stay away from work. Apart from pay-cuts, other punishments can help put this in check.
Lazy co-worker. He isn’t better than the one who was sacked.
A lot of things happen in offices around the world. People kill and do all sorts of things to get to the top. For some others, they just want to bring you down for negative reasons.
Terrific work! My friend shared this with me. We laughed over it like we’re crazy.
This is really cool but the guy didn’t do well by publishing it.
Very funny what joblessness can bring to offices.
It’s very clear that the office lacked quality and responsible personnel. The one who was sacked and the one who made the records were both irresponsible.
My oh my. If the boss gets to know this, the recorder and the lazy worker should have gone the same way.
An idle hand is a devil’s workplace.
I’m more than happy to find this web site. I wanted to thank you for your time due to this fantastic work.
That is very interesting, You are a very professional blogger.
I’ve joined your feed and look forward to
in quest of extra of your fantastic post. Also,

Incredible story there. What happened after the worker was sacked? I believe that lazy colleague was sacked later on, too. It’s a funny world.
Interesting! I’d sack that recorder if I were the manager. He has better things to do that take records of other people’s lives.
I like your way of blogging. Thanks a lot.
