'Bin everything in this room? You got it boss': Workers comply to rampaging boss's shortsighted demands

Sometimes you have to wonder what someone was thinking when they made a decision like this, but the reality is that they probably weren't thinking at all. We've all had a boss like this: the type who blows their top over nothing and with no warning at all. Who knows why they ended up like this, but for some reason, they have a stunted emotional regulation. Just the path in life they took, I suppose. Still, one just wonders. Wonders how it reached the point where their only gratification on this…

Funniest Work Memes for Corporate Millennials That Are Underpaid and Overworked (March 8, 2023)

It seems like every time you clock in a little piece of you gets eaten away. Work has that effect on people, especially in the corporate world. Just because you “spice up” your cubicle with pictures of tropical vacations doesn't mean you're any closer to getting that week-long PTO request approved. And just because you do excellent work in your department doesn't mean you're going to get that raise– in fact, your boss will probably just give you more work to do as a reward for your success. If…

'They tried to nickel and dime me': Tennant ditches out on lease because of dodgy landlord and their cheap tactics

One of the best parts about renting is when you wind up trapped in a terrible house with a useless slug-like landlord, contractually obligated to continue paying a real-life Jabba the Hutt a (significant) portion of your paycheck. At the same time, they do little to ensure they're delivering you a marketable and inhabitable product. In most places, there's only an escape from this entrapment with arduous process or extreme circumstances. Since the landlord often holds a hefty security deposit o…

'Today at the airport a Karen tried to recruit me into being a Karen with her and I was not having it' : Airline passenger delivers epic one-liner that shuts down Karen trying to throw a tantrum

Wow. Just wow. This was an amazing one-liner that this person hit a Karen with—and it actually worked!

Like, what? No, no, no! We are not together . There is a big difference between you and a Karen and that is that a Karen is an entitled immature a-hole who has zero gras…

20+ Funniest Work From Home Memes for Antisocial Employees Who Love Daytime Pajamas and Having Their Pets As Coworkers (March 9, 2023)

Commuting to work must be the biggest waste of time known to man. You sit in traffic on the freeway for 45 minutes with a stale drive through coffee in your hand, meetings to panic about, and road rage in your heart .

Not only do you have full access to all of the luxuries of home (snacks, good coffee, comfortable pants, and your pets), but your "commute" takes about…

Retail customers are exhausting, but when they bring their entitled brat children into the store with them, it's a whole other ballgame. One woman was working at her first retail job, thus encountered many Karens… but this particular one was actually a kid.

It's no secret that some employers think they own your soul just because they pay you for your work. Somewhere between now and the 15th century, they got lost in time and mistakenly thought they were feudal lords. Unfortunately, there are more comparisons between peasant working conditions in medieval Europe and today than we would care to admit.
