job

The working life can inspire some immense feelings of dread, but at least a lot of people are going through it, so it's not like everyone's alone in it all. That's why it's nice to have some work memes for the hustle as well as the bustle. With all the boring coworkers and dumb customers, sometimes we need work memes to blow off work steams.

Jobs can be tedious and time consuming, and they can require a lot of annoying decision-making. When we decide to say "whatever, good enough" we leave ourselves open to creating some impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments. This world has a whole lot of stairs and doorways to nowhere.

It's nothing short of a miracle that these people were able to weasel their way into getting jobs in the first place. You've got the dude with the next level situational awareness, who decided it'd be a good move to light up a smoke next to a bunch of hay. Or you've got the other prime job candidate who was hired, and then proceeded to just never show up. It's as if some people get hired just to see how long it'll take them to get fired. Try hard enough, and it really won't take too much time to get canned at all. 

Check out another entertaining AskReddit thread that's about the ways workers got their bosses fired.

This person asked if they were right to walk out after their boss tried some weird manipulative BS by "not accepting" their two wees notice. It seems like they were well within their right, and are better off to have that garbage behind them. For another interesting quitting story, here's an employee who walked out and got a promotion out of it.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the people that genuinely love their jobs. As it turns out, some folks are actually lucky enough to find themselves with a career opportunity that doesn't feel like work at all. It can be done. And if you ever find yourself in that kind of position, just hold on for dear life. And if you're not, maybe some of these gigs will give you new ideas about a career shift. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the fastest times that people's new co-workers were fired from their jobs. If anything, it's just surprising that these people were able to get their jobs in the first place. You never know what kinds of red flags people might be hiding before you hire them on. Yikes. Makes us think of the recent story about a nightmare Karen employee who got fired, and used the same employer as a reference.

Never underestimate the kinds of petty lengths people will go to in the workplace environment to make their power known, or get back at a particularly insufferable coworker. This collection of petty power moves are as impressive as they are just terribly petty. 

There's a right way and a wrong way to demolish an office, and it's looking like these guys took the wrong way. Maybe they shouldn't have taken their boss's orders so literally, or could have planned better. Either way what they got was a big headache. This one didn't come down on anyone, but it's not uncommon for a boss to orchestrate their own downfall.

Oh man, the enforced clapping sounds like nothing short of a waking air-conditioned nightmare. These managers ended up firing the last guy they ever should've fired. From there the revenge was professional and utterly devastating. Fair to say that he absolutely ended up coming out on top. Check out another pro revenge tale with this bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

It's a true wonder that folks like this are able to get employed in the first place. I mean, hey, whatever works. James sounds like he'd be a fun dude to work with. 

It's funny how that works out. Sometimes the people who truly aren't the tech savvy ones assume that they know everything about how the technology is supposed to work. In this case though, it's nice to see that the boss didn't end up being a total monster, and if anything, by the ending it was nothing but nice wholesome vibes. 

Man oh man, it sounds like this coworker was a whole lot of extra. The dude was late, as some human beings are prone to be on occasion, and the coworker made a whole deal out of it at 7:10 AM on a Saturday morning, Sounds like the boss was having none of it as well. At least the petty revenge was satisfying!

Professional life leaves a lot of opportunity for impressive "not my job" moments of unprofessionalism. Sure, we'd all like to do our jobs well, but sometimes there's not enough time in the day. Of course there are other times when people aren't paid nearly enough to care. Whatever the reason, we have some nice "not my job" moments.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the biggest red flags that hiring managers have seen on resumes. If anything, the following collection of suspect, genuinely shady resumes should serve as a gallery of what to never put on your resume. That, or these people were clearly applying for the wrong jobs.

Check out another glorious tale of pro revenge with this scummy collection agency that messed with a guy's credit score.

Work isn't all that much fun, so most of us try to develop a series of shortcuts to get ourselves through the day that much faster. Sometimes these can get a bit out of hand, look ridiculous, ruin other people's good work or become a nuisance, but hey, that's the way of the laziness blade. This world is chock full of "not my job" moments of advanced laziness.
