No one likes a lazy coworker, so it’s frustrating when you can’t catch them not doing their work.

The person in this story changed that.

Check him out in detective mode as he got the evidence.

Set a trap and got the laziest guy fired.

A few years ago, I worked at a hospital in the environmental services where I gathered up the accumulated trash and medical waste.

I could usually get lots of the hospital clear by my lunch break as we worked in pairs to clear the building, but then we had a new guy come in.

His name was Ben.

He seemed nice, but soon things began going downhill.

It’s a disgusting situation.

I showed up for work one day and the bins were overflowing.

Then the next day, and the next day were the same.

I’d have so much garbage being accumulated that I wouldn’t be halfway done with my section by lunch and had no time to get the medical waste taken out.

I complained multiple times to management who were also getting heat for the piling up of waste.

We all suspected Ben wasn’t doing his job, but we couldn’t find proof and he was honestly a good liar.

So I decided to set a trap.

One Friday I saw that the bin in one area was overflowing and that that wing of the hospital would be closed on the weekend so the trash wouldn’t change.

Now watch his detective work pay off.

I took a photo of the bin and left it there unattended knowing Ben would be working the weekend.

I came in on Monday and checked the same bin and saw it was exactly the same.

I took another photo and showed my boss.

Within minutes she was calling Ben into the office and confronted him.

He tried his usual lies, but when I showed the evidence he just sat there stone faced.

Turns out he spent most of his day hiding in the hospital and messing around on his phone.

He was fired and blackballed from all the departments of the hospital.

Felt good knowing I did him in.

Here is what people are saying.

I care either way. People are paying money for what?

I bet there’s a lot of red tape to get footage and find what you’re looking for. They probably don’t have the resources for that.

I was wondering when this pun would show up…

This is what you never want to be replaceable.

Agreed! I don’t know where they get the nerve.

I wonder what that guy is doing now.

Probably weaseling his way out of work somewhere else.
