"Asleep on the job" = ngủ quên trong công việc -> nghĩa là lười nhác, làm việc không chăm chỉ, trốn tránh trách nhiệm.

Ví dụ
We hear the conversation (cuộc trò chuyện) of three of them, as they discover that they had fallen asleep on the job and now must come up with an explanation (giải thích) of how the tomb is empty. As well as the corpse, one of their number has disappeared, too.

At around the time that we stop believing in Santa Claus, however, we also realize that even if heaven’s closed-circuit TV cameras are constantly upon us, the monitors (màn hình) also fall asleep on the job. Otherwise, why is there so much evil in this world, and bad behavior is richly rewarded on Earth?

Poultry (gia cầm) plant workers also claimed they have sometimes been asked to process rotten-smelling (mùi ôi thiu) meat, have witnessed chicken tossed into grinders with dead insects and found government safety inspectors apparently asleep on the job.
