25 Relatable Memes to Abolish the Monday Blues and Help Exhausted Employees Get Through the Work Week

We go to work because we want money, simple as that. No sane person is clocking in everyday because they love the “company culture”, pathetic Dominos pizza parties, or because they want to engage in (near) slave labor to make corporate CEO's fat and happy. If you're on that grind this week and you're feeling the Monday blues hit harder than ever, sometimes the only way to cope is to check out some memes– even if it's just to know that you're not the only one who hates your job. Sure, you're cou…

'It added up to a lot': Employees get massive payout when micromanaging manager insists supervisor double check team's clock-ins

'It added up to a lot': Employees get massive payout when micromanaging manager insists supervisor double check team's clock-ins

It's always annoying when you get pulled up by a pedantic manager for being five minutes late without them even taking into consideration all of the times that you have been 15 minutes early. Oftentimes, even if you're early nine times out of ten, these types of managers will still write you up regardless. One of this supervisor's team members got pulled up by management for coming in five minutes late. It got back to the supervisor's direct boss, who instructed them to audit their clock-in and…

'Plot twist': Employee left to handle everything alone while boss vacations gets publicly called out during a work dinner, ends up getting praised

It might not seem like it with all the toxic workplaces being ousted left and right and workers finally realizing they deserve more respect and quitting. But there are still some good work environments in this world and when you find one, you gotta appreciate it.

Owner claims a raise is impossible, worker quits then learns the new hire is making more than they requested, they cancel their notice period

There's a significant lack of consistency in the pay scales of many organizations — especially small businesses. You may be running the entire day-to-day operation of the business, pushing (unsuccessfully) for a raise for years, only to discover that the guy your boss has just hired to make Tik-Tok videos is making more money than you.

Boss insists "cameras on, no exceptions" policy for remote workers, sparks online debate

The sure sign of a bad rule is utter and complete inflexibility; on the flip side, flexibility is something that is naturally worked into organizations by leaders who want to see and promote mutual success. If you're being overly tyrannical and micromanaging one particular aspect of your employee's work without considering things like their actual output and contribution, you're probably doing something wrong. Are you trying to contribute to everyone's success or trying to pump up your own ego…

'And they think $7.25 an hour is a living wage': Local Florida restaurant hypocritically roasts people who take 'government handouts', while blatantly advertising their toxic work culture

Everything just hits different in Florida. Fondly known as the ‘penis of America’, Florida has proven that its mercurial population and DGAF approach to life can simply raw dog reality with no consequences. One local restaurant took that same Floridian spirit and has gone viral on Reddit through a post by a former patron, who shared a picture of an egregiously back-handed sign displayed in front of the business. Camellia Street Grill, a small local place in the heart of the Everglades, is obvio…

Worker Quits After Greedy Company Denies Them a Promised Raise, Costs Company a $3 Million Client

Worker Quits After Greedy Company Denies Them a Promised Raise, Costs Company a $3 Million Client

There's something to be said here about following through on promises. When this company promised this worker a raise a year ago and then refused to follow through, all they were doing was stacking dominos that were ready to fall. It doesn't take that much effort to follow through on promises so it's hard to imagine what these idiots were thinking here. It doesn't seem unfair to expect a promised raise, especially in light of their contribution to dramatically increased production. Honestly, it…

'I'm quitting...': Veteran employee passed up for promotion then is asked to train their new boss

Being passed up for an internal promotion that you've been preparing for and waiting for for years is always going to sting and make you reconsider your employment—but being asked to train the person they've externally hired over you will definitely grind enough salt in the wound that it will drive you to quit. That's what happened when this employee was passed over for a senior role at their company and asked to train their boss-to-be. They shared their story in a short thread that they posted…

Update! 'It was kind of satisfying actually': Lying boss cries after being hit repeatedly by paintballs while cheating at a company event

Cheaters may never win—but crying and gaslighting an entire workplace in order to cover their tracks is well within their capabilities. This post does beg an important question: If you had the chance to hit your boss repeatedly in the head with paintballs, would you take it? Then, if they tried to lie and gaslight your entire office in order to save face, would you let them? There are certainly the bold among us who would have been sitting right there in that meeting, ready to commit to a scorc…

woman starts a new job with a millennial as a boss and she has never been happier working somewhere, before she had only worked with boomers and Gen-X as management and she says it was the worst

'Now THIS is a boss!:' Woman Who Has Only Had ‘Narcissistic & Psychotic’ Boomer and Gen-X Bosses Shares Refreshingly Professional Email From Her New Millennial Boss

It's becoming more and more evident that the workplace culture that the Boomers set into effect many moon ago is not working anymore. So far the boomers are holding as tight as they can to it and Gen-X have been enforcing it. However, millennials are a different story. Millennials were told they could be whatever they wanted to be, but not told what the options were or how to obtain them. When they started to enter the workforce, they were called lazy, entitled, and many other things. So, mille…

The job interview process can be incredibly arduous and time-consuming; applying for a new role can be like working a second part-time or full-time job. This is made all the worse by how long it takes most organizations to conduct their interview process; it can be multiple weeks, even months before you know whether or not you have gotten a position you have been interviewing for. Of course, you'd like to think that you have some security once you've signed the contract and are awaiting the sta…

There are an endless number of ways to get fired from your job; you might make a colossal mistake and subsequently find your job being advertised online, you might ask your workers to prove their dog is dead by bringing it into the workplace, you might have worn a banana costume to a work party when your boss was deathly allergic to bananas, or maybe you've just been skipping your lunch and going home early.

Communication is a key part of any business. Being able to have simple conversations with staff and other workgroups is an important part of being a manager. Communication can be a tricky thing, the discrepancy between what you intend to say and what other people hear is vast, so it's important to be clear and concise with your message. Communication is so easy to get wrong, but the sure way to fail at it is not to do it at all. The worst thing you can do — as a manager or at any level of an or…
