While some employees are praised for how hardworking and reliable they are, others don’t stretch themselves thin over work-related matters. That’s fair enough; not everyone is equally eager to walk the extra mile when they don’t have to.

But some employees do so little, they barely cover what’s expected of them; and even then, often in a way that makes their superiors want to smack their hand to their forehead (or facepalm, as the youth would say). Today, we have gathered some of the best of such facepalm moments, shared on the ‘Not My Job’ subreddit, which perfectly depict just how little some employees are willing to do. Scroll down to find them on the list below and enjoy.

    As a deaf person I rely on captions and you often see some very weird mistakes. Auto captions are the bane of my life, they can be very funny with mis hearing words but also means I miss out on what is being said. I'm 'lucky' that I used to be hearing, so know what words sounds like so can say the wrong sentence/ word in my head and try and work out what it was meant to say. Those who are deaf from birth can't. I wish more video content creators would add human written captions to their videos. Doesn't just help those who can't hear, but also those watching in public with no headphones and those who speak that language as a second language.
