Even if you love your job, I'm willing to bet that at some point, it has stressed you out. Things like high workloads, tight deadlines, and a lack of control over decision-making processes can all cause pressure.
If the problems are temporary and there's little you can do to remedy them, learning to relax is crucial. This can be achieved by taking a walk, enjoying a meal, or having an innocent laugh.
The Facebook page 'Work Memes' is here to help us with the latter. Sharing relatable jokes about everyday problems we face when earning a living, it serves as a reminder that we're all in this together.

These memes illustrate the disconnect between bosses and their employees. Indeed, the American workplace landscape is undergoing profound shifts according to the latest survey from Franklin Templeton.
In its fourth year, Franklin Templeton’s Voice of the American Workplace Survey found that 91 percent of employers experienced turnover rates of over 10 percent in 2023.
Furthermore, 80 percent of employers are struggling to meet demands for increased compensation.
I put stickers on the hand dryers saying, voice activated, say clearly, "Dry my hands". One of the ladies from HR knew it was me. She just laughed and said it would be funny to see who was stupid enough to use them. Best bit was we walked out and heard a manager shouting in the toilet!
It's a balance of not doing enough to get more work and doing enough to not get fired
In fact, "managing heightened employee expectations is one of the biggest challenges facing employers today," said Jacque Reardon, Head of Client Marketing for Retirement, Insurance, 529 and Wealth Management for Franklin Templeton.
"Understanding employee preferences and effectively communicating available resources is paramount for organizations aiming to attract and retain top talent. Employers must articulate the holistic value of total compensation and benefit packages to ensure alignment with employee needs and preferences."
I've seen the pic for this meme over a hundred times, but I've only just noticed/realised... That's the Batmobile!
The survey revealed that employees prioritize increased pay (56 percent) and 401(k) matches (42 percent), while employers assume preferences for improved health and dental insurance, health savings accounts (HSAs), and charitable contributions. At the same time, 70 percent of American workers indicate their salary is not keeping up with inflation.
49 percent of employers polled are providing access to resources like financial wellness platforms, but only 28 percent of employees are leveraging them, and 72 percent of employees admit that they struggle to understand the benefits available to them.
More specifically, nearly a third (29 percent) claim they have trouble understanding the monetary value of employer-provided benefits.
American workers have also expressed interest in more personalized offerings in their 401(k) and overall benefit packages – 84 percent and 82 percent, respectively. 90 percent of employees also increasingly seek work-life balance to enhance their well-being.
Open door policies are so that HR can get ahead of any potential lawsuit. They are NOT and I repeat NOT so that you can get issues resolved at your place of employment. If you want things to get fixed form a union.
That's me after I got a bad manager fired when I used to work in a grocery store, good riddence
"To address these challenges, employers must prioritize strategies focused on employee retention and satisfaction, which may entail offering competitive compensation packages and fostering positive work environments that prioritize employee wellbeing and work-life balance," Reardon added. "By aligning with employee expectations and prioritizing their satisfaction, employers can mitigate turnover and cultivate a more engaged and productive workforce."
since my workplace started work from home and "mobil working" aka working on the way to work.. i'm the last person to arrive at the office and the first to go :) because my commute is the longest and i work while riding the train. my boss is okay with it (he works 90% of the time from home) my bossboss hates it because he likes to micromanage us... but the decision that the way i work was okay was made by the big boss himeself so bossboss can go fück himself
why does getting up early have to feel like the worst thing that ever happened every time it happens
Almost two-thirds (61 percent) of workers feel that their financial independence is jeopardized by the current economic environment, as they struggle to achieve important milestones. Other key concerns are recurring expenses (66 percent), healthcare costs (64 percent), and student loan debt (47 percent), and nearly half (47 percent) feel their ability to retire is in jeopardy.
No wonder memes are becoming currency in office life.
Working in retail, I had a woman come up and buy a box of cigs. She then said, "I need to quit smoking. And missing service on Sundays. And sleeping with men I just met." It was only 8:30 AM and I was done that day.
My last f**k goes up in flames the minute I wake up to go to work!

What, no memes about working from home vs. coming into work that only apply to the 1% of the workforce that has office jobs?
More people on homeoffice is good even for people that still have to go to work. First of all, it is not 1%, more like 30-40%. And if 30% of people will stay home instead of commute, there will be less traffic for those who still have to get somewhere.

I need humor like this - especially when I am on a job that I can't stand. As an independent contractor I have had positions that I thoroughly enjoyed and wished would go permanent. Also, I have had positions I am sorry I ever accepted!
