150 Funny Work Memes That Understand You And Your Deep Craving To Quit
Interview With Expert
They say that if you choose a job you love, you will never work a day in your life. However, they also say that you can have too much of a good thing, and I think these two sayings perfectly explain the burden of having to work for the rest of our lives. While we may enjoy what we do for a paycheck, having to do it for a third of our existence earns us the right to vent about it when we get tired or colleagues test our patience once in a while.
A great way to pour out work-related frustrations is through memes, which we’re featuring today for those who are forced to devote themselves to capitalism and be their own sugar mamas. Collected by the Funny Work Memes Facebook page, these memes are definitely ones you’ll be glad to circle back to.
While you're scrolling through, don't forget to check out a conversation with an organizational well-being consultant Sandy Goel, New York City’s leading burnout expert and host of the Fried – The Burnout Podcast, Caitlin Donovan, and workplace expert and the author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work, Simone Stolzoff, who kindly agreed to share a few tips on how people can find more enjoyment in their work.

Raise the Right People
Jrog 1 year ago (edited)
I know of a company which spent over 50k€ in headhunting, went through half a dozen candidates over the span of 18 months and lost a major client in the process, only because a key employee was promised a 3k € bonus that the company didn't feel like paying after the job was delivered, so he left.

The company I work for currently does '90 day goals' as well as a 1% better everyday policy. I just want to get through the day.

This is when you need to ostentatiously look at your wrist and say, "Whoah look at the time. I gotta blow." It's even better if you don't have a watch on.

Weekend Vibes vs Monday Realities
Charles McChristy 1 year ago
I had a coworker who started sending work texts at 7pm on a Sunday evening. Man, I'm not even trying to think about work at that time. I'm trying to enjoy the last few hours of my weekend, anything else can wate until monday at 8am.

Paycheck Math Woes
Rick Murray 1 year ago
The way it works here: Miss a day of work, they'll subtract the hours and dock pay. Do an extra day of work, it'll be added to the hours. We are annualised, which means we work something like 1,607 hours in a year. Thus our pay is based upon that divided by twelve. I'm on paid holiday this week because I have too many hours and they need to be cleared by the end of March. So you're not actually losing the way it is done, it just feels like you are.

I'm always curious if the poor spelling, random capitalisation, and atrocious grammar in many of these memes is there on purpose to be "cute" or whether it reflects the fact that the author doesn't have the skills.

AUNTRIARCH - how did your last day ever at work go today? Thinking about how happy you must be!
Auntriarch 1 year ago
It was absolutely brilliant! They decorated the office, I had a sash and a tiara, a retirement blankie, so many flamingos, and they took me out to lunch. I never thought I wasn't appreciated, but seeing it in the trouble everyone took, the messages in the cards, the emails from random people I didn't even realise I'd made a difference to - well I don't mind admitting I teared up once or twice.
