Have you ever snoozed your alarm for the 40th time and wondered if your job is really worth getting up today? If you're -once again- willing to sacrifice your career for a few extra moments of sleep, you might have a permanent case of the Mondays.

LOL in work tears

Whoever said to find what you love and pursue that as your occupation, never lived with capitalism. That really takes what you love and turns it into a cash cow and then you're doing it with so much unfair pressure and anxiety that it turns into something you hate… So what does that leave you with in the job field? Do something you already hate for a job and hold onto the things you love and keep them safe from capitalism? We have no idea, we just know memes. Memes are life. Memes can help you…

Claiming overtime gives us brief jolts of joy when receiving our monthly paycheck, but the reason for said overtime is that we're seriously understaffed, so although we can hear the cha-ching of dollar bills entering our sad accounts, our sanity has slowly declined. Employees have been complaining about this lack of manpower for longer than they care to remember, and although bosses around the globe have continuously assured everyone that there will be new hires, it's simply not happening.

Spreadsheet PTSD is a real condition

Not only have you not properly rested in 5 years, but even with your 75% tips on the iPad, you can barely make rent this month… again. So far, being a server has only trapped you in a lifestyle of fatigue and chasing your own bills with irregular cash flow, swollen ankles, and a ferocious Karen biting at your heels all the time.

LOL

Understaffed, underpaid, over it

Memes and cold brew keep me sane

Go team

Giving someone instructions that you don't actually want them to carry out is foolish and bound to make you look like one when they follow through with your commands. It's crazy how common power-tripping bosses use this tactic, thinking their power is absolute over their subordinates. They risk everything on a single ego-fuelled order, daring their workers to call their bluff, only to be surprised when they do. This worker shared their experience working for a boss who frequently would wield th…

When are we going to get the 4 day work week situation dialed in? What will it take to wipe Mondays off the work-week map? It seems like ever since you graduated, you can help but count down the minutes until Friday at 5pm only to waste away 1/3 of your weekend on Sunday afternoons when you're stressing out about starting to work again. It's a vicious cycle. Maybe if you had 3 days to do your weekend chores (party, drink, socialize, vacuum, groceries) you'd be more rejuvenated every week. But n…

When you're doing great at your job, taking on extra duties, and performing admirably, the last thing you expect is to be replaced as a cost-saving measure—especially by your boss's (presumably unqualified) daughter. But, this can happen when your profession is a necessity that your bosses don't understand… and there are certainly some old hats hanging around in various institutions who still don't quite “get” the point of social media marketing. It's akin to the common adage about the catch-22…

When you get distracted when you work from home, managers will consider you an unproductive employee. When you work in an office, those same distractions are called “company culture”.

Bosses really know how to put you in the mood to work.

When you were hired and they said you had a competitive salary, what they really meant was that your salary was always going to be competing with your bills. With inflation up like this and eggs costing a much as a gallon of gas, how many of us have asked for a raise in the last 3 months?
