“You Had One Job”: 50 Times People Spotted Such Pathetic Fails, They Just Had To Document Them (New Pics)
Gone are the days of going above and beyond in the workplace. Many of us have learned after years of giving 110% that our efforts are never going to be rewarded. Instead, employees are now deciding to “act their wage” and do precisely what’s necessary to avoid getting fired.
But it appears that some workers have gotten a bit too lazy and are now failing to even complete the bare minimum. And the perfect place to see this in action is the One Job subreddit. This community shares hilarious photos of some of the worst mistakes employees have managed to make at work. From forgetting to proofread signs to serving customers questionable plates of food, it seems that even the simplest of tasks can go awry when workers just don’t care. Enjoy scrolling through these hilarious fails, and be sure to upvote the ones that you think should have led to someone getting fired!

New construction on the house. Still waiting on the city to come out and move the old utility pole. Happens all the time, just have to get on the schedule for the city to move it. Don't try doing it yourself though, that's a felony.

That one is ok. Defining a separate lid for the bay leaves would be more expensive than just using the lid that comes with all the other spices. Same thing probably on the vanilla sticks, whole cinnamon, nutmeg etc.

I've got bad news for anyone confused by the layout. Also, a minor downside of the ADA is that some companies need to stock separate 6 and 9 buttons and signs, because the braille isn't right just because you turned it over. untitled-6...089f69.jpg

I always went above and beyond at my job. Okay the higher ups were completely ungrateful, but my co-workers were a lot happier, and that was what mattered to me.

I once had a manager who would pocket the rewards the company provided for our productivity and safety results. She was supposed to use the money to reward us. I vowed I would throw myself down the stairs before I would ever let her pocket the safety award again. Luckily we had legitimate accidents instead.
