Not all representatives of Human Resources are bad guys. Just because Toby Flenderson was an evil snail doesn’t automatically make them all awful. A decent HR is an important part of a well-oiled machine that is a good workplace. Upon learning more about Jamie Jackson, the mastermind behind the account Humorous Resources across most social media platforms, you might get that she is the living proof of that.

This page of work memes already was featured on Bored Panda a few months back. Now we have a new compilation from Humorous Resources for you to share with your coworkers during lunch hour. Check out this new selection from the Chief Meme Officer and let us know which are your favorites!

My morning checklist: 1) Wake up. 2) Get out of bed. 3) Use the toilet. 4) Brush teeth. 5) Put on clothes, even if just a robe. And I've completed 5 tasks before I've had my coffee!

You too, huh? In my case it's extra pleasant because I use an app which makes a satisfying little ding and awards points every time you check off a task (you have an avatar, and you can use the points to buy pets and accessories for them, so basically your daily chores become an old school RPG!).

The aptly named Humorous Resources accounts are dedicated to funny content around people’s experiences in the workplace. It’s a wonderful place to scout for memes to share with your coworkers. As of September, 2023, the page has 787,000 followers on Instagram. It also has a steadily increasing following on TikTok with 33,700 followers and over one and a half million likes.

It’s run by Jamie Jackson, the self-proclaimed (and rightfully so!) Chief Meme Officer. She works in the HR department for a healthcare startup, but has been an HR manager for many more years before that. Bored Panda reached out to Jamie and asked how it feels to reach this level of internet fame.

“I'm not sure I have truly reached internet fame,” says Jamie, “but Bored Panda is interviewing me, so maybe I have? I can say I have created a safe place for corporate professionals to laugh about the wild world we work in. It’s almost like having a million work besties.”

    Not 3 months but in Sweden and many other Nordic countries you get 4-6 (depending on policy, union and age) weeks during summer. Sweden has 25 days vacation days minimum and employer's are obligated by law to offer 4 weeks consecutive in the span June-August.

    Italy here. Every August the clients complain because we close for the whole month, and every time one of us do some days more and has to call them the response is "I'm out of office untile the 15 and Michelle is out of office from the 15th to the 31th. Can we do a call the 1st of september... better the 4th"

    I think someone's exaggerating a little. If everyone's on vacation, how do you get groceries, gas, healthcare, etc.? Everybody fasts for a month? No one gets sick? No one drives to the beach, or camping, just stays home and hibernates? Doesn't sound like a vacation to me.

    I always think of "burnout" in terms of "what do I do to keep that from happening again?" Exploitation makes it sound like it's some sort of inevitable universal. Acquiring the skill of negotiating will ALWAYS be helpful, structural solutions won't always be helpful, necessarily

    The page was born at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. As Jackson told HR Brew, she recalls two friends suggesting she create a meme account to share the funny pictures with an audience: “I truly felt like I was losing it. I needed a creative outlet, and I had always made memes on my personal, private page.”

    “I had two separate friends within the same week, say, ‘You should make a page,’” she recalls. At the time she did not expect to gain such a huge following, but the success encouraged her to create other pages.

    Jamie’s other Instagram account, Horrendous HR, is where she reads anonymous confessions from employees and other HR managers. The content is wildly outrageous and funny, but one of Jackson’s reasons for creating it is to make other HR people feel less lonely. It is also a safe space for them to bond with others working in HR departments.

    I've read that two or three completely unrelated words is the best password. CookiesFalconSeahorse is easy to remember and very hard for a computer to hack. Unfortunately, you have to update your passwords so often and they have all these special character requirements, AND they say to not use the same password in multiple places. It is impossible to memorize your passwords.

    To clarify: looking at screens isn't the problem, but how long you do it without making sure to stretch your neck, release some tension in your shoulders and arms, and to make sure you're not looking at them too close to your face or with brightness too high. Also, standing up is much better than sitting down for prolonged periods of time. But remaining stationary for prolonged periods in either posture is not good because blood can begin pooling rather quickly (within 15-20 minutes) which can lead to poor circulation and potential blood clots forming...which can be quite dangerous.

    Productivity is not an economic challenge but a stress management challenge. Everyone has a cap on the stress they can handle, companies pay you to resolve stress. Removing work stress, compensation that resolves home stress and reasonable work hours are usually the focus. But people have physical, mental and social energy and they all come with their stresses. You want to get the most out of an employee while keeping them happy? Balance those 3 aspects in their duties.

    I won't lie and say it's easy to adjust these things. But most of them are well within your own control to manage your stresses. Getting started can be the hardest part, and it might require making some difficult changes to your routines. Going to bed early, managing your food consumption and exercise, and seeking counseling or ways to relax your mind...all things that require a conscious effort on your part to prevent negative outcomes. It's hard, but worth the extra effort to not feel like your life is falling apart. It'll make you appreciate the vacations and breaks so much more too.

    Basically, an interview is a bizarre form of torture where they see how well you lie to obvious questions and if you don't lie, you don't get the job. However lying to any other type of question is grounds for immediate removal. Finally, because corporate felt there weren't quite enough landmines, sometimes these two categories blend and you gotta flip a mental coin.

    Depends on which country you go to prison in. Some countries actually have pretty good proteins dedicated to rehabilitation, rather than being a drain on a country's finances while not actually doing what should be done to help the incarcerated individuals be able to become better and when done, actually be able to effectively become a contributing member of society.

    I disagree with this. As with most musicians, a song doesn't write itself overnight. It may take weeks or even months to create an idea that EVENTUALLY turns into a track. They then have to create a whole album around that one theme, so as not to lose the listener. This is why THE BEST use songwriters

    If you were running an animal sanctuary you probably wouldn't be dealing with animals but employees, visitors, investors, funding grants etc.

    But as someone who volunteered at an animal sanctuary, it's depressing to see the abuse humans deal out to innocent creatures. And the animals still trust us. Sad.

    Jamie also has a couple of controversial opinions regarding HR. The first one has to do with employees’ looks in the office. “Tattoos, piercings and colored hair, etc. do not determine how well someone can do their job,” she believes. “None of those determine how well a person can do their job.”

    .....maybe I'm going about this whole disability due to CRPS thing wrong. Maybe I should begin taking job interviews I have no intention/ability to do, simply so I can use sarcasm to show how stupid most interview questions and phrases are. "We're like a second family, here." "Oh so I'd be getting a new job and a cult all in one!" "Why do you want to work here?" "Because I have a shameful addiction I need to support. They call it food." And of course the one above: Where do you see yourself in five years? "The future is uncertain on the finer details of that. But it is certain that IF I'm still working here in 4 years and 364 days, then in five years I see myself in a coffin."

    "To prove that you knew about this." - When I first started a new position, working a 3-11pm shift (24/7 operation, but the vast majority of employees, especially the managers and above, were out by 4pm) and my trainer left me alone to "manage" a shift way too early (~3rd day). I encountered an issue I wasn't prepared for. I called and emailed my trainer and other managers for advice. Nothing. The situation was getting worse, so I resent and CC'd our direct bosses. Another hour goes by and its getting worse, to the point I thought I'd have to shut down the whole operation. It was only after I resent to all and CC'd our boss' boss (GM, just below ZVP) that everybody and their mother chimed in with help and advice!

    30 years old. I didn't realize right away that I was working for a charming narcissist. It took almost a year of me busting my butt, even on some required weekends to realize that I would never get the raise and promotion I had worked for... Because she hired a man with less experience, gave him his own store to manage, and paid him a LARGE salary along with paying for his apartment while I was a struggling single mom. Even worse she became verbally abusive to me and took it for granted that I could handle any extra work she threw at me. After two people quit I ended up being responsible for their duties as well without being fairly compensated. The last strew was when I brought up a concern with her and she mocked me. I told her I was done with her insults and verbal abuse, grabbed my things, and walked out. After that, she told everyone she could (including clients) that I'd had a mental breakdown. It was difficult to find employment after that. She also tried to take my son. 🤬

    *sigh* These kinds of posts are definitely proving a point that many employers will contantly do whatever they can to save money instead of doing things that would actually provide job satisfaction. But we can't ignore the fact that evey single business out there is trying to make money - that's their whole point of existing. And you have the ability to ask questions, make requests or legal demands (in some cases) of your employers to try and make things better..or you can find a new job too. It took me 3 years of switching between jobs (doing the exact same role) to find one that actually met my needs. It was very VERY tough to handle the stress before, but it was worth the effort.

    I am from this town in the Upstate of SC. The guy apparently is a contractor of some sort, he started a job, took payment, and never finished it. The guy who put the sign up would let people come look at the mess this Todd guy made and left behind. I'm guessing it was finally resolved since the sign has been taken down.

    An amazing number of people, especially professionals, don't know how to Google!

    Ikr, I honestly didn't know people couldn't do that. It seems so logical to me that if you want to find something you break it down in the easiest way for a search engine to find it

    Well, google, nowadays, can be considered a working tool, for absolutely any single job. Even cleaning toilets you have to research how to eliminate persistant stains

    I keep telling people that Google is their friend. Sometimes, when I find some information for a customer via a simple Google search, judging by their reaction you'd think I performed some kind of crazy magic trick! Yeesh....

    my thoughts at a previous job. It was also a very toxic environment. Thankfully now I do similar work with better pay and it is 100% remote.

    For those who suggest "altering" your sandwich. Many people have been fired and or arrested for altering their OWN food. As things have become - those who break the rules are in the right - take it without lube and quit bitching.
