50 “Best Of All Time” Fails From People Who Live By The “Not My Job” Philosophy (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Working a job you don't like can be a drag. Here's a sad statistic for you: according to LinkedIn, 85% of employees don't like their workplace. Whether it's their boss, the location, their colleagues, the customers, or just the nature of the job itself, many people would rather slack off or do something else instead.
When a person hates their job, they probably don't do it very well. That's where the subreddit "Not My Job" comes in. They collect the best and funniest instances where employees are doing the absolute bare minimum that's in their job description. And today, we're featuring the best of the best pics from the community. Work smarter, not harder, right?
To discuss the 'Not my job' attitude in more detail, Bored Panda reached out to Louise Carnachan. She's an organization development consultant and award-winning author of Work Jerks: How to Cope with Difficult Bosses and Colleagues. Carnachan told us more about why some people feel unmotivated in the workplace and how employers can increase their motivation.

That is not an actor, that is a casino executive named Ferenc Szony. He was well known for doing funny advertising, hence using a picture of himself as his mom. Do your research next time.

Yep Lockers Are Done Boss. What Do You Mean There Is A Problem?
Kabuki Kitsune 2 years ago
Heh. So, that's actually VERY common. When lockers are installed, the clients often request that support columns, pipes, or other things that would stick out, are covered with a locker 'facade'. It makes everything look neat and uniform. It also allows maintenance to access them should they need to. They're not supposed to be given out to students. I'm betting they forgot which lockers were the facade ones.

What do you think ?

I was working at a school, in a non-teaching position. A kid used a curseword and his friend saw me walking by and said "did you hear that?" I said "yeah", kid says "well?" I shrugged and said "I'm not a teacher; I don't care." I immediately became that friendship group's hero. XD
