This employee's hilarious attempt at trying to use photoshop to get out of work, backfired in glorious fashion. Clearly, they were in a rush or had no idea what they were doing. Because that cartoon nail isn't going to fool anyone!

People deal with their fair share of ignorant bosses, so it's incredibly satisfying to see an employee who's in the right win something, like this overworked employee who revolted by doing his exact job description. And to prove that your boss is being a complete hypocrite is icing on the cake.
This young employee asked whether it was wrong to toy with the emotions of overly dick-ish customers by getting fake fired in front of them. It seems like a pretty harmless practice and gets bad customers to rethink their roles. We wonder what would happen if a customer just said "good!" People have ways of dealing with bad customers like this flight attendant who handled a problem flyer or this donut shop owner responding to a bad review with humility.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share those glorified career paths that are actually total nightmares. Take these people's advice and hard-earned life lessons about careers, so that you don't have to find yourself in the middle of a job that you utterly despise.
We've all had really rough jobs, and while ruminating on your annoying job can suck, some well placed work memes can be cathartic. Whether it's some customer service role where we have to deal with Karens having freak-outs, incompetent bosses or straight up boring jobs where you have nothing to do. The grind can lead to a sort of existential dread and a cycle that never seems to end. But don't worry, there are other jobs out there, and more often then not, the total BS you have to deal with will lead you to bigger and better things. Anyway, here's some work memes for the grind.
This new manager did their part to break the cycle of homelessness and help out the guy camped out behind their restaurant by giving him a job. Reminds us of this donut shop manager who handled a customer's angry review. Here are some wholesome memes to go with the theme of people helping each other out.
This woman asked the people of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for reporting a class clown of a co-worker who continued to tease her about her name. She took great offense to it, and decided to inform her supervisor about it. He ended up getting fired during the holidays as a result. So, was she in the wrong for running that back to the supervisor, or was her decision absolutely called for?
People often find after they're hired that their job description doesn't cover nearly as much as what they're actually expected to do. Already stretched to the limit with a dwindling and under-qualified staff, this guy was asked to "do his job" so that's exactly what he did. People have different responses to being bullied at work, like this employee who prank fires themselves or this guy who stood up to his boss who didn't allow sick days.
People overlook the day-to-day frustration of working in retail, service, and anywhere else where you might come into contact with a wild Karen. Anyone who has worked a physically demanding job for very little pay has a special type of appreciation for less demanding work, and a special type of disdain for a life-long office type who's never had to get their hands dirty. This Tumblr user got to see their coworker have a learning moment.
Some of the greatest innovations at work come from human laziness. It's just not a good idea to work extra hard when you can think of a way to do the same work more efficiently. That said, don't do too good of a job or your boss might find out that you don't need to work there anymore. One or two of these definitely backfired. And a few definitely weren't as smart as the person first thought.
Who even cares if this one's fake. The imaginative conversation revolving around what one would do if their boss texted them telling them to come in, is entertaining enough. Sometimes the best course of action is to just play dumb, and act like it's the wrong number.
This one seems obvious. Anyone who's worked around heavy machinery knows how important it is to be mindful of your surroundings, yet there's still coworkers out there who can't be bothered to understand how hazardous their own working conditions are. Some coworkers just don't get it, like this Karen who didn't check her email for years. Sometimes it's customers who are a nightmare, like this lady who tried to get a free washer and didn't get her way.
