Falling asleep during your second day on the job is certainly up there and that’s what recently happened to one intern at a company whose story went viral online after he posted about it on Reddit.
His co-workers snapped photos and videos with the sleeping intern and posted to the company’s facebook page.
He posted that photo to Reddit’s “Today I Fucked Up” subreddit, and soon it made its way to the site’s PhotoshopBattles section.

Eduard Paraschivescu has been undergoing training at a company called Gsoft that afternoon. He has a slight anaemia, so when he felt tired, he leant back in his chair and about 20 minutes later he realised he’d dozed off.

“It doesn’t really bother me — I’m not naked, I’m not getting shamed,” he said. “I’m just surrounded by amazing people who are having a blast!”
As for whether or not the photos will have a negative effect on his career, Paraschivescu said he’s not too worried.

“In all honesty, I have my reputation for leaning back on,” he said. “I’m the president of a student society, I’m a good software architect, I’m known for many other things than sleeping — and hey, if it’s funny, it’s worth sharing.”

Here are some of his photo shopped pictures that went viral on the internet.
