Have you ever had one of those coworkers who constantly takes your breath away with their lack of knowledge? There’s always that one person who never ceases to amaze you when they literally never know what’s going on. While you’re locked in, working on your caseload, they forgot their email password a month ago and just… haven’t checked their email since. While your boss is bugging you about turning in a months-long project, your coworker is just realizing now that there’s a project to be done. The 2 of you will probably be treated the same by your company, even though that dude in the cubicle next to you is dumb as rocks. I’ll never understand how some people keep their job in spite of their constant mishaps.
Some industries are much more forgiving of mistakes, though. Office work and email jobs let workers get away with anything due to the lax nature of those duties (a late email never hurt anyone, right?). Other industries are very serious about their rules and regulations because people can and do get harmed when protocol isn’t followed. Heavy machinery is unforgiving! There are stories from numerous different industries down below, check them all out and be glad that you don’t work with these goofballs.Â
Up next, read about some victorious workers who gleefully quit their jobs, like one person whose bosses “raised my wage 15 cents. I quit on the spot.”
