This statistic shows the result of a survey question designed to find out how likely or unlikely respondents were to skip work on a Monday with the excuse, 'I have a personal/family issue'. The majority of British workers said they do not do this.
Have you ever pretended to have a 'personal or family issue' in order to get out of going to work on a Monday? 2014 Survey*
The survey was conducted on behalf of Mind.
* By 'family issue', the source was referring to any kind of personal situation where it would be inappropriate for a manager to ask further questions, or make further enquiries.
