"Excuse me, I get paid to hang up the posters, not to make sure they're the right way up." That's the exact vibe these people have while on the clock. You know the type—they'll do the absolute bare minimum required, and any minor inconvenience? That's someone else's problem. A bug on the wall while painting? They'll just paint over it. Mismatched letters on a sign? Not their department. These are the people who believe in the phrase "work less, not harder" and they take it to hilarious new heights.

These 31 moments are a showcase of people who went to work, did exactly what they were told, and not an inch more. Whether it's mind-boggling, infuriating, or just plain funny, you can't help but admire the dedication to doing the least while technically still getting the job done. But only technically.
