work

Let's just get this out of the way: corporate America is some BS. You work eight-plus hours per day for forty years (and probably even more if you're a Millennial!), and you may or may not get to retire (let's be honest, most likely not). 

What is this all for? To be able to afford to exist and maybe take a vacation to see your parents once every two years! Alright, now back to work you slackers.

Sometimes stereotypes can be harmful, but other times they're pretty amusing. In this instance, these people asked Twitter to roast a photo of them based on what it looks like they do for a living. Don't feel too sorry for them because, well, you can't say they weren't literally asking for it!

Hey you, are you fed up with going to work every single day and pretending like you're not completely miserable working for The Man? Of course you are. And if the answer to that question is no, then you're probably some sort of psychopath. Sorry, it's just the unfortunate truth.

While this hasn't been approved by the FDA, we happen to think that memes should be a part of a balanced breakfast. There's no mood-boosting substitute for silly shitposts, and coffee can only put so much pep in your step. We put these memes together to help you wake up on the right side of the bed. What you go from there is up to you.

The whole "white people don't season their food" thing sometimes feels offensive to those of us who lack melanin and worship the spice cabinet, but this Twitter story is proof that the stereotype exists for good reason. Twitter user @cavebeauty experienced the horror first-hand at a company potluck when her colleague brought raw chicken and a deep fryer to the event. Not only did he decline seasoning the chicken before frying it, but he was handling the chicken with his bare hands and touching stuff without washing them. Disturbing. Hopefully you'll read this nightmare long after digging into lunch. 

People, people, people. When will you remember the golden rule? Never become friends with your boss on social media. You can get fired. Even though we do believe y'all should be careful, as you can see in these texts, a certain Cody Hidalgo was canned for sharing a "Boss gets a dollar, I get a dime" meme that celebrates shitting on company time - and that's pretty freakin' ridiculous. The meme is stupid, and we can see how it might annoy an employer, but it doesn't seem like a fireable offense. And it certainly doesn't warrant getting bullied by the boss' son. Read the exchange below and see if you agree.

Caution: these memes might convert you to communism. Well, they probably won't do that, but they will likely make you consider how little you're getting paid when compared with your boss. For legal reasons we can't condone stealing stuff like snacks, staplers, or pencil sharpeners from your work, so we're not going to do that.

Sundays often feel like funerals. The death of the weekend hangs heavy o'er our souls. To fight the pain and the dread, we often turn to shitty television, food delivery, and other escapist indulgences to perk us up. Our favorite way to distract ourselves would have to be via memes - and here are a whole lot of them.

We're not about to pretend to be psychologists, but the study of the brain can be incredibly helpful in any situation that hinges on communication. Whether you're trying to get ahead at work, make a good impression, or avoid creeps, these life hacks use the science of your brain to help you do better at pretty much anything.
