Every day we do our silly little tasks so we can pay our silly little bills. Don't you wish there was a way you could magically stop working and do whatever the hell you want for a change? How wonderful would it be to have that kind of freedom? Unfortunately, this is real life and as long as there's rent to pay, we plebs are fated to a lifetime of rising and grinding. But hey, at least we have memes . They can try to crush our souls with menial labor, Excel spreadsheets, and useless Zoom meetin…

Gas prices have soared to $4.25 per gallon—the highest in U.S. history. Costs were already predicted to surge in 2022, but with the current sanctions against Russian energy, commuters are going to feel the pain way sooner and harder than expected. As many frustrated people have pointed out this week, it seems like just about everything is going up except our wages. There's not much regular civilians can do about global markets and international matters, except maybe meme about our problems and…

When @thecorporatemama posted a satirical video poking fun at toxic managers who closely surveil how often their employees appear idle on virtual workspaces like Slack and Teams, @adriannarebekah replied with the work hack of a lifetime. @adriannarebekah #stitch with @thecorporatemama #workfromhome #wfh #wfhlife #wfhhacks #wfhcheck #wfhstruggles #wfhproblems #MaiselChallenge #MakeItGucci ♬ original sound - Adrianna Ortiz @adriannarebekah's went viral, gaining 10.8 million views, 1.7 million lik…

For most of us, the job application process is an extremely soul-sucking experience. There can come a point when the rejection emails start to get annoying, especially when you know that you’re capable of the job. It’s understandable that you might want to enact some kind of revenge , just like u/SeanGrande who took a dislike to a would-be employer after they refused to interview him. While he was qualified for the job and the company were struggling to fill the position, none of the hiring man…

Are people working too much?

Props to these amateur con artists

We've all taken sick days to play hooky from work. It's human nature. But getting caught is never fun. After TikToker @kdimagery360 called in sick, the next day her boss texted her a photo of herself live on TV enjoying a Warriors game. She was truly caught in 4K. TikTokers in the replies were overwhelmingly supportive, arguing that what someone does on a sick day is none of their boss' business.

What should you do if you get stuck at your job site after closing and your manager refuses to help you out because he values the front door more than your wellbeing? Ask Reddit, apparently. When u/Zealousideal-Ebb-481 asked r/legaladvice for guidance while they were literally trapped inside Walmart, the comment section echoed the same answer: call the fire department. While OP was worried about getting fired, many stressed that OP's life would be in danger should an emergency arise. Unsurprisi…

Over the weekend, travel blogger @OneMileataTime posed an interesting question on Twitter: “Should flight attendants be paid during boarding?” The implications of such a question sparked debates all over Twitter and Reddit. Many were dumbfounded by the fact that only paying flight attendants for the time they spend in the air is common practice in the United States. Should Flight Attendants Be Paid During Boarding? https://t.co/H2SuYgHkAw pic.twitter.com/sctzRjTj4u — Ben Schlappig (@OneMileataT…

Anyone who's suffered through a job they despise has fantasized about ditching work and never coming back, which is why @idontevencarethoo_ 's viral TikTok of a coworker quitting in front the whole company is so satisfying to hear. Keep scrolling to live vicariously through one stranger's triumphant “ I quit. "

Servers are the unsung warriors of the restaurant industry . On top of being expected to maintain an impeccable memory under extreme pressure, servers have to swallow their pride and put on a smile while taking abuse from unreasonable Karens, splitting checks between dozens of drunk college students, and making sure glasses are never empty. And what do servers get in the end? Just enough tips to pay the rent and years of stress dreams about serving to look forward to. When @roastmalone_ tweeted…

Pain

Wait until you realize how much they get paid.

Sounds like the life.
