Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

Management Secrets: Part 1We don't care why you're late. All we hear is "I'm going to be late...blah blah blah ...leaked all over the floor...blah blah...skidded and broke it's...blah blah"
If lateness is a rare occurrence we say 'OK, get in when you can' and leave it at that.
If you're breaking the don't take the piss rule on lateness frequency, we say 'OK, get in when you can' and start thinking about your 0% pay rise and how we're going to manufacture your redundancy.
Simple.
