50 Hilariously Accurate Memes That Sum Up Millennial Struggles At Work

I know I'm a privileged b*tch for being able to do this, but even when I was unemployed two years ago I would flat out stop the application process if I had to do that. I felt if a company couldn't see the irony of asking potential employees to waste time in redundancy then I didn't want to work for them anyway.

Doctor's offices are so guilty of this. 'Please fill out this medical history questionnaire, then the doctor will see you and ask you some preliminary questions.' This is basically memorizing the answers to prepare for the oral exam.

Apply in person; Go to the website. Apply at the website; apply in person. Can't win.

Even worse are the medical practices that have all of your information on file (and update it each visit), yet demand each year that you fill out another entire history form on a sheaf of flimsy paper with one of their pens that only writes half the time.

Trust me, this is infuriating for us old farts too.

I agree. I have always said we should have one day for getting chores done, one for fun and social things and one for chilling and doing nothing.

Yes please!

We do have a Victorian wasting virus so one more reason for longer weekends

And one for your sense of entitlement.

This is THE best! I've worked 4 10 hour shifts for the last year and I would not ever want to go back!

That's why you first attach the files before sending the mail. Correct order is always 1. Attach files. 2. Write mail. 3. Carefully add recipients so Mr. Smith doesn't accidentally get a draft for his resignation letter.

Thank goodness the newer email apps have reminders for this...if there is the word "attachment" in your email, for instance, it will ask you now "did you mean to attach a file?". Has already saved me from embarrassment a few times.

We used to call that “Attachment Disorder”.

Headline of email #2: "Resending: this time with file"

Gmail will nudge you if you have used the word attachment or attached etc and then don't attach a doc before it's sent. Very helpful!!

Press the button if you think this meeting should be an email!

Except that the organizer doesn't get the button, only everyone else.

Me 1 second into the meeting: PRESS BUTTON

Meetings should rarely go past 45 to 60 minutes. The important issues have been raised within that time frame and so what you're left with are minor issues that can be delegated to to group members and not waste the time of the entire group.

At the end of a very long meeting and then then the on in charge asks any more questions you just know some idiot will stick their hand up and ask a question that will take ages to answer a dylu just want to leave.

My life is full of quick tasks that will eventually kill me from the stress of not doing them

Why do you think I am reading BoredPanda?

I've always wanted to procrastinate, but I never seem to get around to it.

I am literally procrastinating 4 min (ish) of work right now 🤣

amazing achievement it takes me 7 i have dreamed of six but never made it

I stopped answering "unknown" numbers years ago. If it's important, they'll leave a message.

Sometimes when I want to screw around I'll pick it up. The auto warranty guy told me that my cars warranty was expired, I asked him for which car? Silence then a click. Guy said he was from Apple and something was wrong with my computer. I told him that I didn't have a computer, cell phone or tv because those things are all portals to the devil. Or for real shits n grins I just answer it and in my best old lady voice I just keep saying "Steven, is that you? Why don't you call grandma more often?" I really had a guy try to explain to me that he wasn't Steven while giving me his sales pitch. Very hard to not snicker. Someone would call and ask for the woman who had the phone number before me. I'd say that I haven't heard from her either, what do you suppose happens? Hey, everyone needs a hobby.

Get these calls everyday, unfortunately I have to answer them, it really could be a new customer. When I get the idiot who thinks my internet connection is sending out alot of packets, that's when the fun begins, usually end the call being call a bhenchod for wasting their time. As long as their on the phone to me they can't scam anyone else in those few minutes. Block the number straight after.

I do this and usually find it’s a scam call

Haha every single time

Growing up doesn't make it any better my friend

it doesn't get better - the more you learn the more confounding life seems

This is why I love children, autistic people and animals; they just tell the truth.

This child is destined to become a great philosopher.
