Early in my career, a co-worker was fired for (among other things), frequently sleeping at his desk when he was supposed to be working. The entire company was half a dozen people in a single room. I have no idea what he was thinking.

Well, in his dreams it did work out...

[–] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

I have a co-worker (in an open, shared office) who

doesn't react to tickets, Teams messages or emails
refuses to answer the phone even when the call is specifically for him
has only one specific task assigned to him, which he regularly fucks up but doesn't care
sleeps under his desk for an hour every day during work time
watches porn on his work computer
walks over to co-workers, farts, then walks back to his chair
plays music with offensive lyrics loudly, while others are on phone calls with customers
shouts racist jokes involving the N-word through the office

He's been with the company for 20 years.
