UPDATE: Freshly fired employee sabotages critically important project with petty presentation: 'It needs to be "basically ready" in 2 weeks'

Try your hardest never to become important at your job! Then you might find yourself tackling big and important tasks, perhaps even working overtime, while still getting paid the exact same amount as your slacker coworker who watches YouTube videos all day and never does anything useful. The only thing worse than being assigned tons of work is being fired, and then being assigned a ton of work!

This person got laid off, but they didn't leave the company immediately. For most people, getting fired from a job is shocking and life-disrupting, so you can't just leave them in the office for two more weeks to stew about it. But uh, nobody told that to this person's boss, so that employee stayed on for 2 weeks, getting paid to sabotage a project. Check out the fun story, as well as the update, down below.
