15+ Bosses who had the worst workers: '[She was] sleeping on the job. She was a lifeguard. Fired on the spot'

Every workplace has a few employees that make you wonder how they've kept their job this long. 

When you're at your job, working as hard as you can while your boss breaths down your neck, it's guaranteed you have that one coworker who's content to kick back and watch YouTube at their desk for a while. For whatever reason, that coworker doesn't mind the scrutiny from the boss (or maybe they're a nepo-hire who can get away with literally anything!). 

Some people think that the worst employee is the one who never does anything fireable, but also just makes everyone else's jobs harder. It's the person in your office job who you email with important info, then you don't hear from them for 2 weeks because they "don't read their emails." Or if you're in the retail world, it's the person who you ask to cover your register, only to find them chatting with every customer, making the line move at a snail's pace. Could these people be fired for these things? No. Instead, they'll remain at their jobs, making everyone else's day a little more annoying.
