Whatever your experience with office culture is, the daily grind is part of the modern world and is often more draining than it appears from the outside.
Luckily, there are many forms of therapy and, as the Instagram account ‘Corporate Millennial Anxiety’ shows, sometimes one of them is just looking at memes.
It shares painfully relatable jokes about the nine-to-five life, and at the very least, they make you feel like you’re not the only employee going through it and that someone else out there actually gets it.

I worked for a company that expanded so fast one year that they had trouble calculating raises in timely manner. By the time they figured it out , they couldn't afford to pay out, do they have stock in company. It was decades before they went public. But somehow the sakes guys and the executives got their bonuses on time.
According to a recent report from Microsoft, employees are now experiencing an “infinite workday” of constant emails, meetings, and notifications.
They check their emails as early as 6 a.m., juggle meetings through the afternoon, and then stay online well into the night.
Simply put, “it’s a very long day,” says Alexia Cambon, senior research director at Microsoft.
Being asked to hop on a quick Zoom is even worse! Because then I have to arrange my face so they can't see how annoyed I am. 😁
Had a manager who flexed at me after I apologized for sending communications during his vacay. "No problem, I had 5 thousand emails anyway".
You might as well ask me what my high school GPA was. I have no idea! It was a long time ago and has no bearing on absolutely anything.
Why the fork do I need a recovery email address now when I've had the same email for 10+yrs? I do not need extra email police. Don't give me the protection bullshirt. I've somehow managed so far to make it without google giving me a colonoscopy everyday I think I can manage without the extra verification.
Go on with the meeting anyway, but save your "Reverse" cards for key moments.
Which is why I always end up staying up so late on Sunday nights. Like I can postpone the inevitable.
I've seen this done as "To Whom it Will Concern." --shorter -- pithier --worrying
As the time approached for me to retire from teaching, sometimes I was a little sad. I got over it.
A guy at my workplace (research lab, so a lot of PhD students and postdoctoral researches, typically young) is 36 and keeps going on about how old he is, but I don't think that he is the eldest, but also no one even really realised that he was older. No one really thinks of our ages? Except when it's a particularly new overeager polite newbie, but they typically outgrow that quickly...
Officially 6pm, mentally 3:30, but on Fridays I'm not even present mentally
I worked for a French company in the US that shut down between December 25th and January 2nd. Paid.
When I was forced to state professional goals in an evaluation process, I sometimes chose ones that began with "Help my boss better understand that ...", "Assist management in reorganizing their method of ...", "Participate directly in promoting that the administration prioritize policy issues such as ...".... Apparently these goals were acceptable because they never questioned - in fact never even mentioned - them in the post-evaluation interview.
EBITDA. Isn't that what Andy Kaufman's character said all the time on "Taxi"?
Is the person receiving the criticism the best one to judge whether it is constructive or not? After thinking about this, I realized that it doesn't matter if the person is trying to be constructive. In fact, some of the most useful insights and important facts I've ever received came from people who meant me no d**n good. Your enemies will tell you the hard truths that your friends won't.
