I mean you could argue that by doing nothing, they failed to do anything, or that they failed to be productive.

And in the scenario you gave, they failed to keep their jobs.

I think the exclusion of a statment that they wanted to keep the job at least bars them from the failure to keep. Its hard to argue against them failing to do anything unless the objective is to do nothing then successfully doing nothing surely can't be comparable to failing to do anything....can it?
