IDIOMS WITH 'JOB': SLEEPING ON THE JOB: meaning and examples

Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin and the happiest of Fridays to you!

Our theme for the week is Idioms with the word JOB. Today we are looking at the phrase SLEEPING ON THE JOB.

Definition: To not be working as hard as you should. 

Example 1: Stop sleeping on the job and help me finish these orders!

Example 2: The company has many issues. One of the biggest is that too many employees are sleeping on the job

This concludes our theme for the week. As always, thank you for reading (and listening). We hope you learned something new this week.

Please note that Monday, October 12th is a bank holiday in Spain, so there will be no Daily Vitamin on Monday. However, we'll be back bright and early on Tuesday morning with another lesson.

Take care and have a wonderful long weekend, if you have Monday off.
