50 Work-Related Memes That May Make You Laugh, Then Cry (New Pics)

THAT is one of the saddest things I've seen. 😢 Especially the fact that your boss cries too! What the cuss?! 😢 😭

What happened when yall found out that you were??

I had the same experience! My former manager came to visit after she was fired and I mentioned that a particular area was my secret crying spot. She said, "No way! That was my crying spot!"

That's exactly what I was thinking of! A friend of mine suggested at the time that doing this might be be helpful for me. I had just been diagnosed as bipolar and was pretty fragile at the time, trying to stabilize myself, etc., so I never tried it. To this day I avoid anything remotely sad because it would completely overwhelm me and leave me a mess. If I started crying, it would overtake me and I wouldn't be able to stop until I was exhausted. Then all I'd want to do is sleep.

That's the joke. What the hell were you trying to accomplish?

Red shirt duty. Incoming!

Last hired, first fired.

There are places that have "mean boy" cliques as well. My husband works with men who like to gang up and bully him but he can't leave. Thankfully he doesn't deal with them as much since they transfered to new departments. But what is a "girly lunch"? There's no such thing. Not to mention sexist as hell.

So it should. When the majority of office work can be done remotely——and it has been proven that the majority of remote workers are actually MORE productive than when they had to be in the office—-why the f**k are companies once again demanding employees commute to the office? Because they’re control freaks, that’s why. They tried to Big Brother people working remotely, to hound, micromanage, and chain them to their desks. But that wasn’t enough of a control fix, so now they’re bringing back the time wasting of the commute to go into the office, even though it’s less productive. It especially hurts employees who looked upon remote work as an opportunity to move away from the city and find homes in much more affordable places. They can no longer commute because they’re too far away and would spend nearly another entire shift just getting to and from work. F**k that s**t. Businesses need to adapt or die. The carriage makers who didn’t retool to become auto body makers when the automobile was invented and started gaining popularity, ended up shuttered for good after losing all their employees who saw the change coming to the new auto body manufacturers, but the ones who saw the writing on the wall and adapted to make car bodies and interiors, and headlights, etc, survived. We haven’t really seen it happen yet, but it’s coming, especially now that employees are seeing how badly they used to be treated, and have decided they’re not putting up with it anymore.

In this case it is news of general interest that a company that bases its business on teleworking through virtual meetings has asked its employees to abandon teleworking.

You answered yourself

That's why. The employees leak to the media that their company is pointlessly trying to force them back into the office hoping that it will raise some outrage towards the company and they'll reverse course on the decision.

Free advertising courtesy of the media who love to stir things up. Whether the staff end up back in the office or not, millions of people are reading about them.

Most of the point, companies sell you news, they make their money through advertising, so the wildest and most argumentative stories are the ones that make the most money.

Maybe that’s the point.

I remember hearing that b******t decades ago, and never bought into it then. Oh how they absolutely HATED it when I would say that it’s not a family, it’s a workplace. That the people there aren’t family members, they’re coworkers. Saying that back then did not make me very popular with management or the employees who drank their b******t Kool Aid. Bullshitters hate it when you call their b******t out——especially when you’re absolutely right about it.

I remember the mafia being referred to as "the family".

My family is terrible so it fits. Oh, you are going to take advantage and constantly abuse me while making everything my fault? Nah. I'm good.

Can't complain? I complain about mine all the time

Any company that outsources manufacturing:

I love this picture sooo much!!!
