U.S. workers want to take more time off from their jobs and are increasingly turning to the internet to find credible reasons to do so.
That’s the main takeaway from a new report released Tuesday from Frank Recruitment Group, a U.K.-based technology recruiting company. The firm analyzed Google search engine traffic from 2018 and 2022 and found that searches for excuses to miss work rose 630% during that time period. Searches for “believable excuses for missing work” and “realistic excuses for missing work” rose substantially, the report found. Other phrases people searched for more often included “best excuses for missing work,” “calling in sick” and “good excuses to miss work.”
The report stopped short of saying more employees are actually calling off from work than in years past.
