'I never thought anyone could actually fall for that': 30+ Empty-headed employees who made the silliest mistakes on the job

Not everyone can be the employee of the month. Some employees are destined for mediocrity, while others are so dim-witted it makes you wonder how they ever got the job in the first place. These people have been shocked by their own especially goofy coworkers, which they told to the r/askreddit community. U/Colossus252 asked, "What's your story of the dumbest coworker you've ever had the privilege of working with?" and more than 1,100 Redditors revealed their funniest stories.

There's one at every workplace, no matter which industry you're in. One particularly egregious example was the person who spent weeks making sure their coworker would know how to cover them while they were out of the office. The coworkers swore up and down that she was prepared… only to do absolutely nothing while the OP was out of the office. Not a single thing! This kind of coworker is infuriating to deal with, and many bosses will barely punish a worker for it.

Check out all of the shocking and hilarious stories these fed-up employees had to share. Then, check out these very silly reasons that managers had to let an employee go, like one worker who got the boot for stealing pancakes.
