A mark of a good employee is that they're often willing to do more than listed in their job description. Sadly, not every worker feels so motivated. According to a poll Gallup conducted last year, 68% of the workforce might be phoning it in, as only 32% feel fully engaged at work.

Although probably infuriating to their bosses, these workers' minimum efforts often yield some pretty hilarious results. That's where the "I Did The Job, Boss" subreddit comes in. They collect all sorts of jobs done poorly, whether by accident or on purpose. If you ever feel you're not pulling your weight at work, check these out and you'll probably feel much better.
