At work, most people are not looking to go above and beyond their job descriptions without any incentives. We accomplish the necessary tasks, and if there is a chance for increased pay or a promotion, we might be motivated to to go the extra mile. But to conserve energy and keep ourselves from being rattled with stress, we accept that we cannot all be "employee of the year". There is a big difference, however, between being a good employee and doing the absolute bare minimum whenever you can get away with it. In honor of the world's laziest workers, the “Not My Job” subreddit was born.
With over 860k members, this community with the description “[Placeholder - Jim, put a good description]” shares the worst examples of people technically doing their jobs, but nothing more. We’ve gathered some of our favorite posts from the subreddit down below, so you can find some humor in these horribly executed jobs, and hopefully feel better about what a great employee you are in comparison. Enjoy this list, and be sure to upvote all of your favorite posts. Then if you’re looking for another Bored Panda piece featuring “not my job” moments, check out this article next.

“Help! Help! I’m being cornered by a guy in a hockey mask! Oh wait, never mind. Sorry, I didn’t know I couldn’t have an emergency here, I’ll tell the killer and we can take this somewhere else.
There is something so satisfying about a job well done. Whether your motivation comes from within, a potential pay raise, or the desire for your family to be proud of you, working hard feels good. Having your accomplishments acknowledged and rewarded and knowing that you made someone else’s life easier can be great motivators to keep going the extra mile at work.
However, not everyone feels so enlightened from working hard. Whether it comes from pure laziness or exhaustion from slaving away with no rewards or incentives, sometimes workers just give up. This list will show you how “over it” some employees are, as they have given up on any efforts to hide how little they care. From letting products that are clearly not ready to be on shelves leave the warehouse to refusing to move anything out of the way when painting a wall, the “Not My Job” subreddit finds and roasts the employees who have a very narrow idea of what their job descriptions are. After all, they said they would do their jobs. They didn't necessarily say they would do them well.

The “Not My Job” subreddit features photos from a variety of different fields, but especially for those working in minimum wage jobs, I can understand the desire to put in less effort. The stakes are not super high. If they end up getting fired from one low-wage job, they can easily find another one. If they were getting paid $100k a year, they might be a bit more motivated to hold onto that position.
But at the same time, I can’t help but wonder how many of these photos came to be. Did it not bother these people how poorly they finished these tasks? Did they even notice? Perhaps some of these were intentional acts out of spite or vengeance? The reason may even be as simple as employees hating their jobs, as, according to a 2016 Gallup poll, 71% of millennials say they are not engaged at work.

Placed The Sticker Boss
In reference to millennials in the workforce, Gallup’s researchers said, “They aren’t putting energy or passion into their jobs. They’re indifferent about work and simply show up just to put in the hours.” But we should not just jump to conclusions about why millennials aren’t engaged at work; it’s not necessarily laziness causing their apathy. Millennial therapist Tess Brigham wrote for CNBC, “As a Gen X’er, I’ve heard just about every millennial stereotype imaginable. But as a therapist who has been working with millennials (they make up 90% of my patients) for more than five years, I’ve actually found them to be a highly intelligent, idealistic, diverse and ambitious bunch.” When it comes to their careers, however, Brigham agreed that many of them are struggling. “Each and every one of my millennial patients has at one point said to me: ‘I hate my job’.”

Brigham stresses that once someone identifies what is in their control and what they can change about their position, they can take action to make their job less painful. She also recommends unhappy employees lower their expectations and raise their standards. High expectations often lead to disappointment, while high standards “create a framework for making decisions that are consistent with one’s values”. Having high standards for your own work gives you a reason to do your best, and having high standards for how you are treated by others ensures that you are not being taken advantage of or mistreated.

Plant is already feeling unwell, it will actually die if you paint blue behind it.
If your job feels meaningless sometimes, just know that it does not have to be. It is completely normal to be doing a job just to earn money to pay your bills and enjoy your life. Your job does not have to also be your passion project. But there are valid reasons to find motivation in your work as well, even if you have to search hard to find it. Hatice Necla Keleş, a professor in the Department of Organizational Management at Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul, told Harvard Business Review that having a professional purpose and identity “gives your life meaning and motivation”. “Nothing gives you more energy than a clear purpose. [Without one], even just getting out of bed every morning becomes a challenge.”

Karen Dillon, coauthor of the book How Will You Measure Your Life?, also gave Harvard Business Review some tips on how to find purpose in a seemingly meaningless job. First things first, she notes how important it is to offset negativity. “Just as micro-stresses eat away at you, micro-moments of pleasure can help you find your way back,” she says. “Look for ways to feel good and uplifted: Read about real-life heroes; take a nature walk; attend a religious service via Zoom; page through an art book; or scroll through photographs of faraway places.” Your job should not run your entire life. By finding outlets to destress outside of work, you can remind yourself that you don't have to love your job, but it should not have the power to suck the life out of you. You have plenty of other things to look forward to; get through the work day, so you can enjoy what's next.

I teach English in China, and during Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) the owners decided to get the classrooms painted and collected quotes from contractors. The winning bid was WAY below the others, and we found out why. When we returned to the classrooms two weeks later, they were painted alright. Everything had been painted over - photos, clocks, the glass whiteboards, electrical outlets, etc. Their job was to paint, and that's what they did.

Another tip Dillon gives to those who just can’t seem to stop complaining about work is to cultivate humility. “People are going through hard things all over the world,” she says. “Have compassion.” When you think that you hate your job and just have no motivation left for it, remember that it’s not the end of the world. You can always find another job, or find more purpose in your current job, so don’t give up completely. Plus, there are probably some things that you like about it; if nothing else, you are getting paid! Professor Keleş also reminds readers that, “How you view your life shapes your life.” If you can find it in you to have a more positive mindset and stop viewing work as the bane of your existence, you might even start to enjoy it.

I still have a fortune from a cookie. Said "It could be better. But it's good enough." Just so disheartening
When it comes to things that really do not fall into your job description, it might be appropriate to actually say, “That is not my job.” But you want to go about it the right way, without offending your supervisor or colleagues. As career expert Alison Green told Fast Company, “You want to explain why you’re declining.” She gave some examples including, “Right now I need to focus on X and Y so don’t think I can be of help.” And “I’m swamped and realistically don’t think I’ll have time to weigh in on this.”
She notes that you can also try to point someone in the right direction, if you know whose job actually does include that task. “I’m not usually the person who handles that. You might check with Jane to see if she can point you in the right direction,” for example. “In general, it’s reasonable to speak up when something would detract from bigger priorities,” Alison says. “When your boss is the one doing the asking, that doesn’t mean totally declining to do it—but it does mean opening a conversation about tradeoffs and what path makes the most sense.”

More importantly, there’s no Wagyu (or Kobe) in the USA (where HEB is located), but only a mixed breed breed of Aberdeen Angus that’s not even remotely like Wagyu. There is a legitimate herd imported & bred in Canada and Scotland. It’s not misnomer, like champagne, but actual deception. You don’t wanna hear my Kobe & Salmon diatribes. 😜

Shouldn’t They Have Cut The Top Of The Door So The Knob Wasn’t So Low
Nikki Sevven 3 years ago
No. They should have cut equal amounts from top and bottom so the decoration was centered.
M O'Connell 3 years ago
They should have cut both the top and bottom in an attempt to preserve the aesthetics of the door. They cut the bottom only because this is probably a pre-hung door and they would have had to re-cut the hinge and latch mortises.

The 2 existing well rooted trees will be cut off at surface and will then be a tripping hazard as they produce voluntary shoots. 3 new root bound trees will be inserted into the road crush filled openings where they will die needing to be replaced every couple of years After several replacements the openings will be filled in with interlocking paving stones = the wider barrier free sidwalk that should have been installed in the first place. Typical city planning using seemingly no limit tax funds

At least this McDonald's is honest about the pay scale. Most others, and a lot of places in general, use deceptive wording to make you think EVERYONE starts at, say, $17.50/hr. Or at least that everyone has a chance of starting that high. But when you get hired on as regular crew, THEN they tell you that that's only for managers, and YOUR pay will only be $15.00/hr. Being honest though, $15/hr is a halfway decent starting rate. Our McD's only pays newly hired crew $12.50/hr. And our managers start at $15.50. But, I guess it's all relative to the cost of living where the store is located. And none of them actually pay a living wage. So, it's really all moot, I suppose...

Not surprised. FedEx and UPS are business-to-business delivery services. Within the context of this business model they would have a concentrated delivery area, generally within downtown areas or exurban "business parks". This was their most profitable scenario, but the U.S. government nixed that and required them to deliver also to private recipients so as not to recriminate against them. This caused them longer delivery routes, required them to have more trucks and drivers and made their operation much more expensive. Needless to say they were not thrilled about that and have whenever possible discouraged private customers by providing them with phenomenally sh!tty service. For the most part it worked. I personally try not to do on-line business with companies that won't ship through the mail when asked to do so, for the reasons stated above.
Anne Reid 3 years ago
They’re not good about delivering to businesses, either. FedEx constantly comes to my bar well before it opens in the afternoon just to slap a sticker on the door. And send our deliveries back after a single delivery attempt!
