1 in 10 S'poreans lie to bosses to get off work: Are you guilty
too?
Past research findings have shown that Singapore has the longest
working hours in the world, but a new survey reveals that some
employees use crafty tactics to secure that all-important time off
from their jobs.
The survey of 1,000 Singaporeans, conducted by global travel search
site Skyskanner, looked at the lengths Singaporeans go to ensure
their holiday time off is approved.
It found that one in ten Singaporeans have lied to their boss to
secure their vacation by claiming their holiday was already
booked.
Nearly half (45%) of the respondents booked their time off over six
months in advance to make sure their preferred dates were
secured.
Another 6% of respondents admitted to pretending a family member
was sick while 4% said they had paid or bribed a colleague.
Imaginary love was in the air for 4% of workers who admitted that
they pretended to their employer that they needed time off to take
a honeymoon.
The question remains, have you lied to get time off work?
