A wise man once said that folks should take as many bathroom breaks as they possibly can so that companies would be paying them for pretty much pooping all the time and not actually getting work done.

That wise man was I Prevail vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe, for those wondering.

But you gotta admit—that is some pure anti-work sentiment right there. Absolutely in line with scrolling through work memes, like the ones you can witness on Corporate Bish, an Instagram Page that provides a spot-on representation of how many of us feel about and experience work.

Corporations finally abandoned the reporting culture, where everybody making report about what they're doing instead of actually doing it. Now they're into meeting culture where everybody discuss what they should do without actually doing it. I love corporations, please stay stupid forever.

My boss tells about these educational opportunities we should try to go to, which are always scheduled in the middle of the day - we work in a hospital lab that is understaffed. There is no possible way we can just walk away from our work for a 1-2 hour webinar. Thanks for the useless info!

Why don't people understand this? As the owner/managing partner, I call employee one on one meetings only as the need for them arises and never more than 5 minutes. Though if they need to talk to me I'll give them all the time they need. As for company wide meetings, we've had 4 in 12 years and 3 of those were because I didn't want to tell them via email that one of their coworkers had passed away (and no, their deaths weren't due to anything job related)

Or if you're my boss, you want me to spend a great deal of time writing you an email explaining everything that I'm supposed to be doing. Then you'll want to know why I'm behind on my work.

    The cool thing about not being trained properly is you get to guess at what you're doing and live in constant anxiety that you'll be reprimanded for something you didn't even know you were supposed to be doing! It's like playing 20 questions but nobody else knows the answer, either!

    I worked one job for 12 years without a promotion. I KNEW how every manager got the job and skill and experience had very little to do with it. They promoted guys who drank with the boss on weekends. I'm the kind of person who told him what he needed to hear not what he wanted to hear so I never got promoted.

    There was a mortgage company shut down and at least 1/2 the employees lied on their resumes to come work at the bank I was at after I left that miserable inbred place (as in everyone was married to, related to, sleeping with or best friends with everyone else). Upper management knew and closed it down for that and other reasons. Amazing how many had management experience. 🙄🙄

    You cannot promote the people that are the best at their job. If you do that, you no longer have someone to do that job, and it's usually harder to find an expert in a field/department than it is to replace an average coworker, so promote the average coworker instead.

    Just because someone is good at a job that doesn't mean they will be good at others doing that job. Managing people well is an entirely different skill that far too many managers ever try to learn.

    If any of this sounds or looks familiar, it’s because it should be. Bored Panda has covered the page in the past.

    The Instagram page came about by chance, you can say. The creator randomly came across some work-related memes and it inspired her to create her own Instagram page. One that soon blew up.

It didn’t take long for her to realize how relatable her content was and the page took off.

    If a customer was very polite to me, I'd see what I could get away with. A high schooler came in at one point and asked for a water cup. He did get water. But he came back up to the counter after he finished and asked me, very politely, "Can I get some soda in this?" I told him sure. Corporations get soda for half pennies per gallon per dollar, so it's no big deal, but it made his day.

    At this point, Bored Panda has covered quite a number of work-related meme pages ([Screw] Work Memes, Work Problems, and another iteration of the first one) and discussed a variety of related topics along the way (why people hate work, how people can stop hating it, and how to rekindle your passion for work.)

    So, let’s take a bit of a different approach and consider how memes can change the world.

    Of course those friends are now moving their investments into residential properties rather than the empty commercial ones, and pricing us all out of any hope of buying our own home.

    That's literally exactly what my employer said. When we're in the office everyone sits alone in their offices and still emails each other instead of talking in person. Very collaborative!

    It’s important to note that it’s no longer a question of can but rather of how memes can change the world. Or so the National Institute of Technology in Agartala claims to be the case.

    On the internet, humor has become a form of self-expression and education due to the internet’s notorious nature to foster discussion in every sense of the word.

    Humor, in many cases, is expressed in memes on the internet. They are, after all, one of the easiest and most readily available forms of doing so out there. Who knew a mostly square-cropped image could make folks laugh, cry, and—this is where it gets interesting—shape our opinion on things? Yep, you read that correctly; memes can influence how we think and operate by creating a popular opinion and making it feel like it’s the right choice. Whether it’s a hilarious Tuesday meme to get you through the week or a thought-provoking image, memes play a significant role in shaping our online culture and perceptions.

    It depends. Names of this "quality" are usually invented by the resident bully and people feel forced to use it. If it is a non-insulting funny one everybody likes, INCLUDING the person that got that name, fine. If it is an insulting and hurting one, which might take a visiting client or customer aback or let him doubt the professional abilities of that person, not. Be creative and nice, not picking and hateful. If colleagues would call me like this constantly, and were too dumb to notice how hurtful it is, even after having asked them to stop, I would go see HR too.

    Most of us use "stage names" where I work. There are a couple of folks that I literally don't know what their real name is. Sometimes that's for the best.

    The NIT exemplified this by referencing the 2016 and 2020 US Presidential elections. In 2016, whenever the margin of votes became significantly in favor of one candidate, contradicting memes would immediately start popping up. And the memes practically facilitated how the public opinion was formed and swayed it to vote Republican.

    And while most can’t say the same about the 2020 election, memes still had an impact, albeit in a bit of a different form. That year, the Democrats won the Presidential race. And while the public already saw the performance of the previous President and based their decision on that, the memes served a purpose of expressing opinions of the pre-existing disappointment.

    Whooo! That’s a lot of opinions!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    And because this is the internet, there are memes about practically everything, and hence, they have a say in forming people’s opinions on all relevant things.

    Memes might seem like lighthearted jokes, but their overall message still adds to creating a popular opinion and, in turn, influences you to take a stance as well.

At the end, their answer for not hiring me was that although I was well qualified for the job, I still was not qualified enough somehow despite meeting basically every requirement for the job. It was very frustrating to say the least.

    I quit my job and starved for a while. It surprised me how much i can tolerate being hungry whenever i think about the a******s and abuse at my old job. Turns out, I literally prefer hungry than working that s****y job. But yeah idk about sleeping on the streets... I probably won't survive that.

    Actually, the stuff depicted was quite literally my job. I taught geometry, trig, and calculus.

    During Covid, I worked as a nurse in long term care. While SO many people were being laid off or unable to work, I admit I was not unhappy at being an 'essential worker".

    Not to mention all the other hidden costs. I can't even tell exactly where my money went all the time when I had to go to work, but what I can tell is that I have much more money now, since I wfh all the time.

    Last Friday I was told I was going to have today, Friday off because it's the slow season. Yesterday I was asked to work a half day. I said yes and worked a full eight hour shift. Today my boss said they didn't need me next Thursday. Two hours later, I'm working a full shift next Thursday. Still one of the better jobs I've had. Welcome to America.

    As someone who knows the historical alternative to “strong independent woman”, I once made someone clutch their pearls by saying “well, I don’t have to let my boss put his dĩck in me, so I’m taking the W where I can tbh.”
