50 Hilariously Accurate Memes That Sum Up Millennial Struggles At Work
Interview With AuthorWhile boomers enjoy their well-deserved (cough, eyeroll, cough) retirement in 200 square meter houses with pools and stuff—after all, they are the ones taking advantage of the current housing market boom—millennials are trying to maintain their office job that’s barely leading anywhere. Definitely not to homeownership, since home values in the US soared by 31.2% in two years, making that already distant dream basically impossible. And when Adidas says impossible is nothing, let me tell you, some things really are.
So let’s get back to that office job that gives you barely enough money for your daily fix of bio avocados (you gotta get those healthy fats!), Sunday hangover food, nice skin moisturizer, and Amazon prime account. If it keeps you awake at night, you are not alone. Corporate Millennial Anxiety is a real thing, and the sooner it's recognized, the sooner we will be able to help our lost souls.

In my company you are expected to sign up for finance/technical courses in order for you to increase your expertise. You sign up, go through mind-melting demagogic storm of corporate slang, understand 10% of what they "taught" you, then end up with 40% more work and additional tasks on top of what you were already struggling with. Catch is, you get nothig extra because the higher paid positions are already taken and there is a queue behind each one. But hey, my company wants me to show personal development desire?
