Anyone who doesn’t feel a sense of existential dread on a Sunday evening because they have work on Monday morning is someone who has either learned to be Zen, actually likes what they do, has completely given up on their hopes and/or dreams, or hasn’t had a weekend off in years.

Even if you love your job to the max, there are some things that you probably wish you could change. The office politics, backstabbing, and bootlicking. The endless gossip and drama. The mind-numbing coffee machine and water cooler chitchat about what you did during the weekend (Netflix and food, right?). And, above all, the usually-tense relationships between upper management that are out for profit and the employees who feel that they deserve more respect, money, and better prospects.

To show you that pretty much everyone goes through the same hell, our hard-working Bored Panda team has collected some of the most hilarious, relatable, and tearfully on-point work memes to scroll through while you’re on your third coffee break today. Don’t forget to share these with your colleagues. Your boss, too, if you’re feeling bold!

Bored Panda had a chat about the state of the economy at the moment, what the future holds, what investors might want to consider doing, and how to get ahead at work with financial expert Sam Dogen. Sam is the author of ‘Buy This, Not That: How to Spend Your Way to Wealth and Freedom’ and is the founder of Financial Samurai. He told us that he expects to see inflation levels peak this year and begin declining in 2023. Meanwhile, he stressed that the bigger the company you work at, the harder it is to get ahead on merit alone which is why you have to learn to sell yourself.

    Education is moving towards "collaboration" with businesses to specifically train students in needed fields, so that many can graduate and move directly into a job. HOWEVER, I think this can also be a fox in the hen house scenario, cranking out cogs to fit into the wheel. We also need innovators.
