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.

Organizational development consultant Louise Carnachan says that the r/NotMyJob subreddit is full of woefully executed work we've all probably seen in daily life. She says the "I'll show you" type behavior the subreddit is famous for can be the consequence of being micromanaged. However, while it's one way to claim power, it's not a particularly healthy way, Carnachan says.
"Obviously, some of the images [are] of acts committed by the inattentive, disinterested, or vindictive. But it's unlikely that all were saying 'Screw you, boss' or were a consequence of incompetence. Some workers may have been assigned jobs for which they had no training [and] were given poor or no instruction and/or inadequate materials."
"Some of the goofs are clearly process problems, such as not having sweepers move debris away before the road striping truck came through. In other instances, I suspect the worker was never clued into the big picture, so their part was out of context and executed inadequately. Or, they just didn't apply common sense and think about what they were there to accomplish and why," Carnachan adds.

Those big honkin' clocks are regulated by a complicated central system, and if it goes down, they all go down and you can't just replace a battery and twiddle a wheel to reset it, you have to call in a repair specialist. This is just a temporary fix to keep everyone on time

"Mistakes involving language are ubiquitous in our global economy," Carnachan notes. These types of mistakes, she says, are often done by accident. "Mistranslations abound, spelling errors aren't caught, sometimes word orientation is upside down or sideways. (You'd hope signs could be hung up accurately, though.)"
"No doubt we've all been the recipient of form emails sent without the personalized information inserted, reminiscent of the speaker who begins their talk with, 'Greet the audience and say your name.'"
Other times, mistakes, whether they're intentional or not, can have a pretty funny result. "Typos are the best," Carnachan says. "As demonstrated on a sandwich label stating it contains 'Criminalized onion relish.'"

Mishaps can happen in any and all work settings, of course. "No one job classification has the corner on poor performance, but some jobs certainly have more public visibility," Carnachan tells us. "And some workers are self-motivated to be high performers, while others are not."
When scrolling through the r/NotMyJob subreddit, some people may label these types of workers as lazy. Yet, the reality is much more nuanced. "Effort is hard to evaluate because we only see results. We can't measure an individual's exertion," Carnachan explains.
"One worker may put in a lot of effort yet achieve mediocre results, while another puts in less effort but obtains good results. Skill, ability, training, and personality traits impact this. There are people who are just in the wrong jobs," she also adds.

About 30 years ago or so, I had some friends who had their own subtitle machine and would pirate Japanese animation on vhs. They didn't speak Japanese. They'd just make up dialogue that seemed appropriate or funny for the scenes and plot. Came up with some very unique movies that way.
LovePsychos 1 year ago
That's why when I see a foreign movie I wish I knew the language because I doubt they translate everything accurately. When there are parts that they joke I wonder if is translated correctly or if is a local joke instead since I know that every country has a different kind of humor. Sometimes is the later especially for the ones that you don't hear the original voice.

However, even the most dedicated and hard-working employees might not produce the best results sometimes. "There are many factors out of the worker's control," Carnachan notes. "Examples are the quality of the training and materials provided and how compensation or rewards are calculated (i.e., tied to production quotas or quality measures?). If I get paid by the piece and there aren't any real quality standards, I'll put out a lot of pieces."

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.
Workers should get this information from their supervisors, Carnachan says. "Managers and crew leads are responsible for communicating the 'why' of the work and how it ties into an entire project. When people have no idea of what follows their labor, they work in a vacuum, and then, it's easy for them to make assumptions and bad decisions."

In an office environment, corporate culture also comes into play. Carnachan lists some questions that might impact an employee's performance. "Is teamwork expected? Are folks responsible for noting and correcting mistakes regardless of who made them? Are service and customer satisfaction important, or is the mentality to just mark it [as] done?"

Seeing others do the bare minimum at work might be entertaining. That is until it happens at your own workplace. Indeed, sometimes, people might adopt the "Not my job" mentality to the extreme, and that might even be dangerous to others.
"The willful desire to create a safety hazard for others is beyond 'Sticking it to the man,'" Carnachan tells Bored Panda. "If it's a training issue and can be remediated, that's okay -- if not, this is the wrong person for the job, regardless of their motivation."

"When people are treated poorly, they tend to want to act out by sticking it to the boss," Carnachan explains the possible cause of the "Not my job" mentality. "But pushing back by refusing to do unpopular chores, like [taking] out trash, wash[ing] up, or restock[ing], becomes childish. 'We'll just see how bad it gets before somebody does something' should turn, instead, to a discussion about what needs to be done, who is doing it, and when."

Company paid fines & settlements of about $40,000.

The Clock In My School’s Band Practice Room
1 year ago
You have to remove the clock from the box to add a battery. So, did someone hang it without it running OR did they put it back in the box after adding a battery?
Carnachan says that a team should adopt the view that each member "owns the work of the team." Employees, thus, should have a less individualistic approach to their work. "When people feel responsible solely for their own work, coworkers may start evaluating each other to monitor who they think is not pulling their weight."
"If a colleague's inattentive or their inaccurate work compromises safety or the team's outcomes, speaking to the manager about your concerns makes sense. But withholding help or engaging in stupid power plays to punish the colleagues or the boss isn't okay."

Crown is the easiest thing to cut and put up. Set your saw on 45, put on and set your crown stops, that's it. Doesn't matter the rise and run. Only time you change off that 45 is when a corner changes from a 90. Find your angle, divide by 2. Cut with bottom of crown up on your saw.

Fish isn't vegan. I'm convinced that vegans are mostly jealous of omnivores. Instead of labeling their food for what it is, they give it non-vegan names. Milk and cheese comes from mammals, not plants. Bacon comes from pigs, not plants (or turkeys). Fish is literally a type of animal, so by definition, it cannot be vegan. Just call it tofu fingers (although fingers also come from animals, so maybe tofu sticks). Ugh. Vegans are infuriating.

Making that person's job harder and the next person that has to deal with painted bugs. That grinds my gears, and reminds me of similar issues inspection somehow didn't catch in my own DIY scumlord house.

Yup Boss, I Ordered A Normal-Sized Amount Of Fries For Our Normal-Sized Store
Colleen Glim 1 year ago
Took advantage of one of these a year or so ago. Local grocery accidentally ordered 3 skids of bacon. Pound of bacon for $2. Husband bought 27 packages. No ragerts.

During the pandemic the nearby Auldi double ordered fresh vegetables. The large tub of salad greens were $1 by other great prices for produce. It was awesome felt like a king with all the fresh produce.

Not Sure How This Made It Through Proofreading, Peer Review, And Copyediting

Probably because the peer reviewers agreed that the Gabor paper was crappy too

I do red text, half of my drafts are like that just so I can get something down... I'm sure my teachers are confused when reading them though ("Why is she ranting about minor scales in a biology assignment?")

Got The Un Logo Boss

The BBC once interviewed a man (a student) who came for a job interview for data support cleanser and who was mistaken for a technology expert, a journalist. Both the student as the journalist had the same first name, Guy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Goma_BBC_interview

To be fair, that's an easy fix. Unscrew the cable, remove hoop, screw cable back in. The junction box is visible in the photo.

Technically those power transformer boxes are made to be outside in the rain and all kinds of weather so water draining on it would not hurt it.

Yep Lockers Are Done Boss. What Do You Mean There Is A Problem?
Kabuki Kitsune 1 year 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.

Apparently 2 City Planners In My Home Town Hated Each Other. We Call Them The Slant Streets
B Hobbs 1 year ago
Find a 100 year old map of this area, probably train tracks and station going diagonally. Happened in Denver Colorado USA and Modesto California USA.

I don't know why you got downvoted. You're basically correct, except it was a wagon road, not a railroad.

"The Slant Streets came to be because two lawyers in the 1880s, W.M. Bickford and W.J. Stephens, tried to plot out a new town called South Missoula with streets running parallel and perpendicular to what was known as the wagon road with a bridge crossing the river at Stephens Avenue. However, the city’s co-founder, CP Higgins, made the decision to connect the bridge to Higgins Avenue and the streets in that area were built in grid form" - Credit: Citylifestyle.com
Herringbone 1 year ago
When Seattle, WA, was growing, two sets of street plans were submitted. One was a north-south grid, and the other was a grid at 45° to that, following the line of the peninsula. Unable to choose one, the planners built them both, superimposed in some places.

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

Maybe they hired them but forgot to train them before they were allowed to work unsupervised. Or they had a boss telling them "I don't care how you do it, just get the job done today."
