The paradox of having a stable job is how much of a blessing and a curse it may be. Quite like a toxic relationship, you feel trapped in it but you’d be far worse off without it.

What happens there is known to all: annoying colleagues, burnouts, reheated lunches, ruined Sundays and even worse Mondays, and that very brief sense of freedom that gives you false hope every day, Monday to Friday, at 5pm sharp. And regardless of how many times we could rebinge The Office, going to work IRL lacks that excitement. There’s no Dwight in sight, not even Toby. In fact, there may be Toby in the real workplace but that doesn’t add much fun overall, if any.

So today, we rolled up some of the most relatable and painfully accurate workplace memes to lift up everyone’s spirits. In the end, nothing helps as much as having a good laugh, so all you office-bound lost souls with back problems, have a good one.

    If a job requires hours of your life to complete, it deserves a living wage. It shouldn't be that hard to understand.

    I found that good bosses and even usually mediocre bosses will gladly accept a "no" if you give them an alternative. It's only bad bosses that completely shut down other options.

    I don't know when this was posted, but let's pretend it was 2020 because it makes the maths easier. 15 years ago was 2005. Facebook launched in 2004; Reddit launched in 2005; Twitter launched 2006. LinkedIn launched in 2003. And that's just what people are calling social media today. Forerunners to these sites include AOL and LiveJournal (both around pre-2000) which were both forms of social media. Sorry Lydia, this is not as much of a stretch requirement as you think it is.
