50 Funny Memes About Work That You Probably Shouldn’t Be Reading While On Duty, As Shared By “Humorous Resources”
W. Edwards Deming, a forward-thinking American who helped engineer the Japanese economic miracle and put forward the continuous quality improvement philosophy, wrote that 94% of issues in the workplace are systemic, while only 6% are attributable to individual-level, idiosyncratic factors. Therefore, improvements should mainly focus on systems—not individuals. However, progress is often not as fast as we'd like it to be. Just take a look at the social media meme magazine 'Humorous Resources.' Spanning across different platforms, it shares all the annoying problems that everyone who has been a part of the workforce knows all too well.

Same, but for encouragement. And just in case it's the only item that gets crossed off :(

Please And Thank You
I quit a job because I was considered "rude" for sitting in my car instead of listening to more coworker bullsh@t at lunch. Don't miss that place.
Fairly Coercive
True that. When they say "No one is forcing you to stay", it's so untrue because finding a job is difficult and keeping it is even harder in a society that you're easily replaceable. No job means no money and if you don't have money, you have to set aside your pride and dignity to ask organizations for the poor for their help just to survive in an economy that is tearing at the seams. Inflation with no wage increase is just putting us all into debt and ruining our lives and relationships and we're too poor and powerless to stop it.

I love this. Not complaining, but - I've noticed a plethora of east European writers - no Caribbean, no American, or British. Just me? I enjoy these - in fact, I've added so many to my preferences - so no shade. Just a curious fact.
