Have you ever heard the line:  "If you're early, you're on time . . . if you're on time, you're late . . . and if you're late, you're fired"?  Turns out that's not always true.

 

According to a new study, the average boss says they usually do give their employees some wiggle room when it comes to being late.

 

They say you've got about six minutes . . . after that, you're late.  But until then, you're probably good.

 

 

According to CareerBuilder, 29% of people say they're late to work at least once a month . . . and 16% are late at least once a week.
