30 Times Memes Were Spot-On About Toxic Jobs, As Shared In This Dedicated Online Group

Solidarity!! 😊

I feel this in my soul.

Absolutely

It's absolutely infuriating that actual members of government (in the UK at least) spout this utter nonsense. Saying that some jobs shouldn't earn a living wage is ridiculous. Capitalism says that cleaners don't deserve to live so we'll just go along with that, because we obviously don't need things to be cleaned.

Lets not forget that servers wages have not gone up one cent in 20 years.

Try that in USA and i guarantee the headline would be " Bus drivers sued for unauthorised use of company equipment while on strike"

This should be higher up the list!

Think of all the färt heads who will scream "Communism!" upon reading this.

Yep... at the time just one regular job was enough. Damn...

Capitalism rewards capital. People need to stop saying it rewards hard work.

My company made record profits during covid. Best in their 150 year history our raises did not even meet cost of living... The rich get richer

If you're boss is that fragile, time to start looking.

This. This is SO frustrating, especially if you had to go a long distance for the interview.

Well I want a society where people don't have to worry about food and shelter no matter what job they do or don't work, how about that twitter person with the unfortunately censored name, huh?

I was ghosted by a company that was trying to headhunt me from my current role. Called, offered me a massive pay increase, I did 2 phone interviews, then... nothing. Not one single person out of 4 I was in communication with would return calls or emails. Im not mad about not getting the position (honestly, I wasnt super into it based on one of the bosses being a guy I used to work with), but you came TO ME... Then ghosted. I was annoyed and confused.

“Hehehe! I’m in danger!”

Being an Olympic swimmer doesn't give you automatic immunity to incidents. Or drowning.

Were they applying for a job at the Department of Redundancy Department?

No wonder companies complain that nobody is buying things anymore. It's not just inflation, but greedy landlords.

I suspected this, but now it's put into the figures. I'm even more depressed. So thanks for that.

Where are these people buying houses? We bought a 7 room house in 2010 for $125K. We bought a 4 room as a retirement home in 2020 for $60K. We live in Connecticut, one of the states with the highest cost of living.

We don't 'Reese'pect you enough to pay you properly.

A lesson I learned after COVID. Before COVID, I held the same job at the same place for 12 years. Afterword I jumped from five places in two years. Got a raise every time.

Oh yeah... this resonates. ...except for senior managers who are hired just to oversee the layoffs spawned by a company re-org. When the dust settles, they leave. I call them hatchet men (or women). I saw this more than once or twice at the place I worked for through to retirement.

A bow movement? Shoot your arrows quicker and don't miss the boss next time.

Must be all the Red Bull

You need to move up to management where theft is expected and encouraged.

Been there...then I joined them in quitting after I realized they were on to something...

"Oh shite! What did I do this time?" It was the "Employees must stop crying before returning to work" sticker in the employee bathroom wasn't it? True Story.

Pardon me BP censors but F-U-C-K that guy. That is NOT how you treat staff. I hope that manager contracts long COVID and spends the rest of his life on a respirator. Making someone go to work with COVID is a danger to the rest of the staff and a danger to any clientele. You know what's not good for business? Getting your customers sick.

At $15/hour.

do it anyway

Or... you are told by the boss an employee is "the best he has". Boss then has his a*s kicked due to uncompleted tasks, and poor performance by said employee....he relates this struggle to you and you go "huh".

I got my first full time job after being a casual for years, and I get holiday pay and sick leave, and they if anything, they insist that I leave on time and don't stay past my hours unpaid. I'm still getting used to having job security and being respected <3

Yay Piraro! Alien, Eye, K2.

I HAD 6 months salary saved up before COVID. It took me TWELVE YEARS to earn that. Also just to be clear, I'm NOT into avocado toast and fancy coffee.

Poverty wages. Don’t forget that.

If anybody says the company is like "one big family," they mean a dysfunctional and toxic one.

The AI fingers straight outa hell

I like to take lots of naps, do I put this under personal interests or professional experience?

and also we have very competitive wages! (?) 🤦‍♂️

I worked at a job where 9 AM was your lunch break.

Which parts of Europe or Australia, though? Would an indiginous Australian count? How about a European from Turkey?

This is also illegal.

ewww.

🤦‍♂️ maybe not the best place to be working at, but would at least be work until you could find something else ASAP!

A toxic, dysfunctional family.

Wow so McDonald's Managers are medical doctors now? Impressive!

unionise and vote! !

I'm a Corporate Recruiter, and this is illegal.

I wish I'd made this up but ..... I've seen a job posting with an absolute perfect fit....... Just before pressing send on my application It felt so well known .... looked in my email and found I already applied 6x over the course of a year and they never responded. Not once.

Hehe, a colleague was told she had resigned for walking out at midday after an argument with her boss. Boss was too fückwitted to realise that the colleague was part time and it was the end of her day.

nothing would have been better what went through their mind ooh i bet they would love toothpaste and a tooth brush i mean bruh

The ol' bait n' switch! Smh
