‘Employed AF’: 50 Hilariously And Painfully Relatable Memes About Work (New Pics)

I love this!

Oh this is gold.

THIS! During the last years my company developed a concept in which every employee HAS to take over special tasks that are not part of our employment contract. We have to do it to contribute to our company's success - that's what they call it. And I'm here like, Dude, you hired me for a specific task to keep your company successful in the first place. If now my "special tasks" are the ones that keep us successful wtf am I doing for the rest of the time???

This phrase actually means "Once you accumulate enough weath, accumulating even more does not make you happy". It's being exploited to make us feel complacent with what we have so that the elites can have more

Doesn't seem quite fair, does it.

Every so often, talk to your bosses when you're in an extra good mood. It will confuse and frighten them and made them wonder what you know that they don't.

Smart grandma. Everyone should have separate accounts though. They don't even have to be secret.

For some reason this reminded me of the time I was in a whole company Zoom meeting and the cat started digging to Australia in her litter tray so I muted myself to yell at her to [poop] more quietly and discovered that the host had muted everyone and I had unmuted myself so the entire company heard me yelling at the cat about sh****ng, so if anyone wants me I'll be here dying of embarrassment at the memory.

When ever a boss goes” can I speak to you in my office “, of course your heart rate is going to go up, so saying that beforehand is just wonderful

I know some companies that do sort of 'school trips' with their employees. One place I worked at we went on a water sports day out and learnt all about the reservoir we were at worked and then got to have fun doing various water sports or land based activities for those who didn't want water. Should happen more often imo, was great none forced team bonding. We also did bowling, trips to national trust places and all sorts. They weren't compulsory but everyone went. Staff moral was so high and I'm still friends with many 10+ years later!

If I don't say some version of this at least once a day, am I even doing my job?

She seems experienced in these events, I will follow her lead.

Is it normal that I assume as a pet as adverse to say for lunch

Week??? Next year

🎶Workin' 9 to 5🎶

Honesty is important folks.

It's quite traumatizing actually. Especially on those cold winter mornings

Too funny!

I was kind of hoping for some grey at my temples at this point so I can finally look like an Adult. 39, none have shown up yet.

Some days I feel like I should just climb out the window and leave

And the people in charge seem to be the ones who are worst at 'winging it'.

There are a few things to unpack here...

I prefer work over school BIG TIME

this is so true

Don't worry, it's not for long. Climate change is destroying all that.

Pretty sure ms excel causes lots of suīcīdes every year

From a 30 year IT vet... thank you for the appreciation. And I love the "Tech Daddy" moniker.

I teach online, and I sometimes use those 3 minutes to ponder whether I should quickly use the toilet, or hold it in for a while so I have a legitimate excuse to have a small break during the class. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching, but it can be so tedious at times, especially when it is at the end of the day and I have been teaching for 5+ hours already. (For reference, I once had around 180 hours of teaching in a month. It's not my current workplace. Mind you, this is just teaching hour and nothing else.)

Has to be 15 years. No way they could have the necessary experience after only 10 years. As for 5 years experience, ha!, worthless rookies.

In Australia, Xmas and New Year are summer events, so we have that going for us, which is nice. (Going the the beach on Xmas Day is almost a tradition for lots of us.)

As if Gen Z knows how to handle anything that's not a smartphone.

Lindsay must be living in USA. We have most of these in Europe

I just reply to emails "my fault, it's fixed", and move on. People don't know how to attack someone that accepts blame easily, but they can waste hours complaining about people who dodge responsibility for missing an apostrophe.

My boss just called me into his office to ask if I had any more peppermint patties

A crisp $20 bill also does the trick

My hubby and I do that together..... We alternate reassuring each other that we're not horrible lazy people 🤣

My favourite screen is the back of my eyelids.... sleep, my favourite "activity" is sleep. Never seen such new and creative content anywhere else.

I think we all subscribe to this wisdom, on the inside.

I'm bad about this in general. If I look like I'm interested it's cause I'm bored as f**k and have set my body on autopilot so I can dream about anything else. If I look like I don't care it's because I'm actually paying attention listening and I'm using that autopilot brainpower to actually compute, remember, and listen to what you are saying. Same with taking notes.

No one really talks about the fact that the 8 hour work day was designed for men who have wives at home doing all the things we still have to do when we get done with our 8 hour work day. Like cooking, cleaning, laundry, changing the bed, and washing the dishes. We all have multiple full-time jobs at this point, but we only get paid for one of them. Happy Monday.

I've designed the perfect meeting room. No chairs, no tables - stand, or sit on the floor. Want to take notes? Use a clipboard. After 30 mins, doors open automatically, strobe lights flash, loud brass band/marching band music plays from loudspeakers.

'Fast paced ' means 'we have no planning skills, so every thing is done in a rush' and 'dynamic' means 'we have no idea where we're headed with anything, so we're constantly changing the rules and moving the goalposts'.

I very much dislike the phrase "look like a snack"

Adutlhood. The crushing weight is adulthood

I'm a Boomer, and i seem to recall that this was our philosophy decades ago. Millennials/GenZ becoming Boomers?

Is it just me, or when a post has no comments I have no idea what to say, however when a post has comments I have the brightest idea in the world?

I have found my long lost twin

...and all within the first week.

Proper pay AND the pizza, t-shirts, etc. That's what you need.

Night workers coming home to be awake while i fell asleep was my rescue 💕

Can I upvote this a hundred times?

I would like to unsubscribe from the world please. No more emails, no more events, no more ANYTHING! just select and delete. Poof. Gone. Into the blissfulness of the void. And then I wake up and cry because I can't unsubscribe from the world.

True story

Just rewrite it slightly “If you have any further questions. Don't. Hesitate to ask.”

That's gold :D

Feel like ‘one minute it’s Friday night, you blink and next minute it’s Monday morning’ is more accurate

I gave these feeling also but am a sahm my coworkers are my dog and kids and they will not leave me alone.

The trick is with such a high number unread you never notice. Was just 10361 a new mail that came in? Who knows best just to ignore it

I have learned to interpret "on it" as "I am turning over and going back to sleep".

Stand back Oscar Wilde, speak no more Dorothy Parker, we have a new wit world champion. /le sigh.

Hehehe.. I bet he does that on purpose and is laughing while he does that

You can combine the sleep and no speaking week into one, then cook for a week, then pay someone to deep clean it all in one day and then add the last 3 days.
