Working Hard Or Hardly Working? These 45 Bozos Chose The Former

If you enjoyed our previous posts on idiots at work and OSHA fails, you will likely appreciate this one too.

Although it may be a slight deviation from the original title, the subreddit “[Dumb] People At Work” is still worth checking out. It may not have as many members as its counterparts, with just over 9K subscribers, but the content is just as entertaining, whether you find it amusing or alarming.

You’ll find all sorts of ridiculous situations, such as idiots at work securing dirt and rocks with straps, or constructing precarious towers using nearby materials instead of using a ladder. It’s all there for your viewing pleasure (or horror).
