Joan Cornella is a rather well-known artist on social media, and this time around, we are on the topic of demotivational posters. These posters, typically featuring a bleak or ironic twist on traditional motivational sayings, serve as a humorous reminder of life's absurdities.
They're a favorite among those who appreciate humor that is dark yet still relatable when it comes to the everyday life of a normal person. And hey, whether these illustrations bring a laugh or a contemplative frown, these demotivational posters certainly leave an impression...

I do just enough to cover for my lazy supervisor, so that he doesn't get fussed at my higher ups and I in turn get fussed at by him. That "just enough" adds 10-15% to my paychecks because I get paid based on efficiency rating. The little bit more work puts me in a hire earnings percentage bracket. I make almost as much as he does, with fewer responsibilities and, some how, a smaller work load. Malicious compliance is working out for me.
Definitely applies to kitchen life. "Oh, you already finished your prep list and organized the walk-in? Let's go ahead and pull everything off these shelves and give it a nice wipe down while we have the time." Oh, god damn it..
The most outrageous thing. And if you don't work hard for a single day, you get in trouble. But the lazy workers never get in trouble.
This is me, basically, at all my jobs ever. Now, I'm about to get laid off again. Praying for a better position that puts me in a better financial situation without having to work two jobs, seven days, plus side gigs and freelancing with hardly any money to show for it all. 🙏
Accurate. I'd say my life feels like I'm always falling down stairs, but I've never actually left the basement.
Or as some author (I dont' remember who) wrote. Don't do today what you can make someone else do tomorrow.
Or as dispair.com once had on a demotivational poster: "Hard work and planning may pay off in the long run but laziness pays off now"

Don't put off till tomorrow something you can put off till next month.

Those who have Disney+ can watch a doco about the real organ black market. :(
As a (R) BKA...I find this hilarious. Although I can assure you she falls in 3.. 2...1
For a few years, I was having seizures while asleep. After a few, the doc said there is a chance a seizure could mess with my heart and kill me. Instead of being scared and doing the bargaining thing, I thought to myself, "finally." Now I'm on meds, no more seizures🤞and I love waking up to my pups wagging tail.
I’m being very forward for anyone willing: how does one get checked for that? Insurance won’t cover a sleep study and the scans only show what’s happening right then, but she seems to only be having these neurological storms during early sleep phases. We document and report and the docs don’t care. It’s just more and more referrals. For years. I don’t want to wake up to an empty shell.
Load More Replies...one buddhist teacher said hope is organized/planned suffering (by hoping on sth one inflicts the fruit of suffering through disappointment one's hopes failed to materialize)
I’ve seen activists saying hope is an important motivator for making the world a better place so I file Buddhism in the same category as other religions* and keep it moving. * https://annlitts.medium.com/my-dear-religion-is-like-a-penis-d0bddc60633c#:~:text=30-,%E2%80%9CMy%20dear%2C%20religion%20is%20like%20a%20penis.,%E2%80%9D%20%E2%80%94%20attributed%20to%20Maggie%20Smith.

If you think nobody cares whether you are alive or dead, try missing two mortgage payments.
True don't think you can assign emotions to stars, space anomalies, or planets.
Because you already lost. Also not choosing is making a choice.

Next year? Nah maybe next lifetime pal but there is little hope for that either..
Boss: "Kevin, it seem suspicious that you are so frequently sick during the week." Me: "Boss, I obviously have a weekend immune system..."
Nah, I'd rather people not like me for being honest. I don't try to be mean, but if you want my opinion, I'll give it to you.
i hate to say it but just being honest. that is the most pick-me girl thing i’ve ever heard someone say and mean it
Load More Replies...Aww but I wanna be grumpy and disgruntled like everyone else I know..
Too many people think "being yourself" is the end goal, when it's just the first step to personal growth. You have to be honest about yourself to know what needs to change. If you don't intend to improve yourself, you may as well be fake; that way, you're only hurting yourself.
And that day will be just like any other day, except I’ll also be dead outside

Laugh in bed, too. Sleep there, eat there, read a book. Bed is a cozy place, ready for anything
as someone with chronic constipation (I go like once a week) yeah... I feel this...

I've never understood some people's positivity. What have they got to be so damn happy about? Can y'all tell I'm an introvert?
Yeah, you can be an introvert and still happy. Not mutually exclusive.

Load More Replies...I was thinking the same! She's not trash but her skincare regimen is
Load More Replies...That's why I stay out of the ocean. There's plenty of trash in there already.
just out of curiosity, what gives that away? she's literally a drawing, has wide hips and boobs, is wearing feminine swimwear... wait does her lack of belly button make her an alien lifeform? 🧐
Load More Replies...I love the cheery, bright colours with the deeply demotivational texts 😀.They would look really great on a T-shirt or cup (to use at work).
These are all perfect I should print these out and post them on the walls tbh.
It feels like all the dark c**p we say to ourselves, then smile about and try and pretend we never thought or felt it! It is kind of....releasing, you know?
