Boss-employee confrontations aren't always terrible, as it turns out. Imgur user DiscriminativeStimulus posted an email correspondence with their boss when the company made a mistake by paying them too much in over time. Shockingly, both parties acted like rational adults and justice was had all the same, which gives us a tiny bit more hope in this world.
But if you're in the mood to feel angry at your job, click here for some frustrated work memes via Fail Blog!
We don't have to tell you that there are memes about everything. Go ahead, think of literally anything right now...there's probably a meme about it somewhere out there. Believe us when we say we love hyper-specific memes about nerdy gaming references, ancient civilizations, wojaks, political facepalms, weird cats that like to stand on two legs—we love it all. But sometimes the funniest memes are the simple and relatable ones about the mundanities of life. Memes that make you feel less alone in your existential dread. Memes about being hungry or broke. Memes we can share with most people because we know they'll just get it.
Have you ever come across a construction mishap or architectural blunder so disastrous that it almost seems like someone went out of their way to fail so conspicuously? These blatant mistakes might be eyesores to most passersby, but as long as no one's getting hurt, the results of someone's negligence can often be pretty hilarious. We've got a bunch of amusing examples of times people couldn't be bothered to do their one job.
While some people spent April Fool's cataloguing all the brand jokes and PR stunts (ahem, Tubbycoin), DSA Cleveland decided to ask Twitter to share work experiences they wish were jokes. We're guessing that this had something to do with Amazon being under fire for their inhumane work conditions, but there's something about hearing horror stories from other industries that really puts things into perspective. The experiences range from absolutely heartless, to the kind of acceptable shamefulness that people experience every damn day. While we take no pleasure in sharing these bleak realities, it's kind of wrong to keep ignoring the f*ckery that we all deal with to pay the bills.
Are you sick and tired of working for The Man? You know, our corporate overlords? If so, then it's time for you to browse through these memes and quietly berate your boss while you pretend to work. Just don't let them see you, because then you might get fired and how are you gonna pay the bills then? A life of crime is definitely an option, but I would go with obsessively buying lottery tickets while waiting for a change of fortune. But try to forget your sordid lot in life by checking out some of these awesome work memes all about the struggle you are in, right now. So take a gander, they won't bite, at least not literally.
As Sunday comes to a close, you may need a little help staying positive while fending off the "Sunday Scaries." The dread of returning to life's draining responsibilities after a relaxing weekend is real. To help temper those feels and fears, we're bringing you a mixed bag of amusement. It boasts relatable and witty tweets, scrollable memes, and a few funny pics for good measure. Stay strong.
It may only be the beginning of March, but here on the East Coast (and in the Northern hemisphere) we can feel the seasonal depression fading away with the arrival of what we like to call "False Spring." While the sunshine and warm-ish weather are a preview of future joy, realistically it's going to take a long time for us to snap back to normal. And for those of us with the regular depression + seasonal depression combo, the light at the end of the tunnel is a little farther away. While we can't make the bad feelings disappear, we can help you remember that you're far from alone. You know, with a big old gallery of bleakly relatable memes.
Every now and then we see someone that has actually gone out of their way to avoid doing something that is above their pay grade - or below it. And we can't help but almost admire them. The "Not my job" attitude is one that exudes healthy self-worth, and enviable determination. These 50 instances are some of the more amusing (and impressive) times people just "noped" their way out of responsibility. We hope this is a skill we can learn someday.
Another day, another dollar. Sometimes it really does feel like we're all working our whole lives away. Whether you're working from home, in an office, at a bar, driving drunk people around, in a grocery store—it's essentially all the same sh*t if you think about it. Just a dull, thankless hell making more wealth for the big boss as the bills and debt pile up. Well you know what, there's one thing they can't take from us: memes. Scroll on the clock or text 'em to your coworkers. Hell, maybe even take it to the next level and make some work memes of your own in those moments where you've just had enough.
In the words of Dolly Parton, "9 to 5! For service and devotion, you would think that I would deserve a fair promotion. Want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me. I swear sometimes that man is out to get me."
Job interviews can feel pretty absurd, especially after you've answered the same questions for every position you've ever applied for. What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses? Where do you see yourself in five years? Describe yourself in three words. Don't you ever wish that you could say something totally insane just to spice things up a bit? It would even be interesting to see someone be brutally honest. Why do you want to work here? Well, there's this thing called rent, you see, and I need to pay it.
We've got some ridiculous memes depicting far-fetched job interview scenarios that poke fun at a grueling process we've all had to endure. Perhaps these memes will give you some ideas for your next Zoom interview.
We've all been there. Sitting at your agonizing 9-5 or service gig, languishing. Feeling overworked, demotivated - or even worse: completely and utterly disrespected. In these scenarios, it's often much easier to fantasize about leaving than it is to take action. As jobs are hard to come by, this is perfectly understandable. But if you need a little inspiration on how to exit your prison of employment, you can look to these brave souls who quit in enviable style.
Whether you're working from home, stuck in an office, or powering through long shifts in retail or service, we can all relate to the daily grind woes of 9-5 life. Sometimes just the routine alone can be an existential drag that gets you thinking, 'is this all there is?' But you know what, at least we've got hilarious memes to pull us out of those dark thoughts. With a few holidays right around the corner, at least we've got something to look forward to. Until then, find solace in these relatable work memes—you are not alone!
Quitting one's job is often as hard as breaking up with someone. Whether you have had a positive employment experience or absolutely wanted to die, it's often hard to find the right words to let people down. If you're having difficulty telling your boss to f*ck off, let these creative people serve as inspiration.
If you've ever worked a customer service job then you'll know the struggle of being called in to work on your day off - if you say yes, then you'll set a precedent to your boss, and if you say no? Then you risk getting fired for not being a "team player." It's all a bunch of BS if you ask us.
This story may or may not be fake, but the point there still stands...and it certainly still made us chuckle.
