Workplaces and offices are ecosystems of their own, and special rules apply there. All those people jammed into those cubical, and typing all day long cant be natural.
It's a jungle out there, and like in any jungle, you have to be careful, or you will get eaten.
Long hours, managers who think empathy means bringing coffee to the office from time to time, entitled customers…. The list of work-related stressors is very long.
But, unfortunately, it is getting to be longer and longer. We all need a place to unwind and bitch about work.
And since our family and friends are getting a bit tired of listening to our stories (that all sound the same to them), we have to find another place to blow off some steam. Luckily, the internet is a very big place, and there is enough room for all of us to complain about work until we drop.
Some say that the internet is 30% porn and 20% pet pics. We would add that work-related memes make up for the remaining 50%.
And they are beneficial for all. Besides being a pressure release valve for people making them, they enable the rest of us to see that we are not the only ones who have problems at work (this is such an understatement).
We have collected some of the best memes from the "Employee Tears" Instagram project, and we know they are going to find them hilarious.
These memes make us want to laugh and cry at the same time because they are so relatable. But, all jokes aside, if you don’t like your current job, you should think about alternatives.
Disclaimer: by alternatives, we don’t imply ruining your manager’s car or causing a flood in the office. What we mean is that you should find another job.
But then again, if we all had jobs we like, there would be no more work-related memes…
