'Dead on one's feet' các mem đừng hiểu nhầm là sững người, 'chết đứng như Từ Hải' nhé, mà đây là không lết nổi/không nhấc nổi chân -> nghĩa là rất mệt đó; (công ty) vẫn hoạt động mà như "chết" rồi, không hiệu quả, không năng suất.

Ví dụ

Nishikori is still dead on his feet and unable to hit, needs an on-court MTO.

The Argentine striker was pulled from the midweek clash against West Ham late on looking dead on his feet.

Late in the fourth overtime, when Jokic was dead on his feet, he clanked a foul shot that ended a long night of madness and surrendered the victory to Portland.

Sort of hard to take this seriously as a title fight. Lewis was damn near dead on his feet against Volkov at UFC 229, and was reduced to sort of planting himself fatly at roughly arm’s length and absorbing massive punishment for most of the final two rounds, before landing a brain-busting haymaker right with 17 seconds left in the fight.
