50 Painfully Funny Work Memes That Anyone Who Has Worked At Least Once Might Relate To, As Shared On This Facebook Page (New Pics)
Show me a person who says they love every aspect of their job and I'll show you a butt kisser. Whether it's dealing with obnoxious customers, attending tiring meetings that could've been emails, or filing extensive paperwork because nobody at the company figured out a way to optimize that process, every position has its annoyances.
Often, there's not much you can do about it. You voice your dissatisfaction, someone says they'll look into it, and that's that. At which point, the only non-self-destructive way to retain your sanity is by venting online and relating to people who are going through the same nonsense.
Luckily, the Facebook group 'Work Memes' is here to help us do that. With 756.2k members, it's become a place where people come together and joke about their everyday struggles. Continue scrolling to check out their gags. Who knows, maybe realizing that the world hasn't conspired against you is just what you need to get through the next work week.

So this is just a d**k move really - or at least in the UK. From memory the rule is the employer needs 2x the notice of the length of the holiday (ie need to give a fortnights notice for a week off) to cancel a holiday without any kind of comeback. So unless these are in the very near future it’ll just f**k up peoples plans.

I am probably an ET. I had a weird training two weeks ago (big corporate logistic company) about having a can-do attitude, working with enthusiasm and being proud about what the company does. The whole time I was thinking: " Dude, I am only here to make my eight hours a day and get paid for it. Enthusiasm and pride in the company? laughable."

I once started a new job with many employees. As VP of the office I interacted with most of the employees on a regular basis. I was having difficulty remembering the names of those with whom I didn't interact regularly. So, I used word combos / memory devices to help me remember names. These memory devices were meant for my thoughts only and were never to come out of my mouth. There was an assistant director whose name I just COULD NOT remember. Sherry was in her late 50s; It appeared she had spent far too much time in the sun during her youth & her skin lost the battle with the destructive powers of the sun. Her skin, neck and arms were EXTREMELY wrinkly - distractingly so. I'm embarassed & ashamed to admit that the memory device that lodged into my brain for her was ... Shriveled Sherry. I always had a devil of a time NOT saying "Shriveled" out loud when I would greet Sherry. I would often greet her with a drawn out "Hello Shhhhhri-erry" - just barely catching myself.

I have a rat bastard coworker who is a Master Splinter. ... I'll see myself out.

I had a lead man in the shop who was called splinter. He got it when he was an apprentice. When asked why one of the guys said, "He only shows up after the work is done." Apparently the nickname was good enough to cure that behavior but it still stuck.

My dad would give his co-workers insulting nicknames like "Slap-Dash Ash" behind their backs and talk about them by those names at home. It was hilarious.

My mom actually did this one time. I'd been working 70+ hour weeks on an extremely variable schedule, so I'd frequently be off after midnight and back at 5 am. It was allowed in the contract as long as they paid overtime and turnaround pay. One morning I got up, showered, went to get dressed and straight up fainted. She found me on the floor of my closet and made me call out.

I get to go outside to the wilderness on my break. There's a transit bus route with a stop right there. I've fantasized getting on a bus and riding it to the horizon mid break many times. They can't stop me. It's my fears of homelessness and the hassle of job searching that keeps me sticking to my lunch shift and hastily making my way back to work.

I was amazed.. have been working at my present employer for 5 years and was talking to the HR person figuring out my anniversary date for vacation. She said "you know you have 4 personal days each year you never use". Yeah'''? "USE THEM! that's why they are there"! My HR said this... in all my 40 years or so of work..never happened before.

I complained once that a sales guy (who was the LOUDEST and most obnoxious person I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with) was being racist and misogynistic (as well as being graphic and swearing constantly) in ear shot of customers and people on the phone to customers, when talking with other colleagues (moaning about his foreign MIL and joking about her being their maid for the week as she didn’t speak much English his gf didn’t do enough around the house - I am paraphrasing but it was worse than that) - management’s solution? ask this guy to talk more quietly in the office. Should have realised at that point to look for another job

Seriously, this thing about quitting jobs. I'd like to know how they plan to survive assuming they don't have another one lined up. If it's hard paying rent and bills while they are working how the hell do they do it if they are unemployed?
