Finding your place in today's economy is a bit like assembling a LEGO set without instructions — even if you're trying your best, the future result isn't entirely clear. Will it be a Phoenix, rising from the ashes? Or a spatula for flipping burgers? Only time will tell.

To help office workers get used to this uncertainty, the Instagram account 'White Collar Humor' is sharing funny and relatable memes about the ways it manifests. Whether it's the requirement list for an entry-level job or complicated corporate slang, there are plenty!

I used to have to used an annoying website for work which kept popping up a similar question while I was trying to do actual work, so I always gave it the lowest rating and a comment along the lines "I wish to keep my friends".

    Corporate Self-Awareness... so close, yet so far away. I have actually got up in the middle of an interview, and said "No thank you. It is obvious that you were not truthful in your posting. And you are wasting my time and pissing me off. Pound sand." A week later, I received a call asking me for a follow-up interview, with HR. I accepted for curiosity reasons. I shite you not, they actually handed me a "Write Up" for me to sign; Improper Conduct during an Interview. And when I laughed and replied "Are you all f-ing. high, or just f-ing. crazy? I do not f-ing work here, you jackholes!" They said, and I quote; "Well, if you ever plan on working here, you will need to sign this." End quote. I tore in half, tossed it towards them, told what they could do with that and themselves, and walked out laughing. A security guard, was waiting when I got downstairs, told I was not allowed to leave yet, and I just kept walking. Definitely a weird interview.

    I always tell interviewers I’m applying to their place bc I’m looking for a salary increase. No one seems to have a problem with this answer. This time around I’m including, and I want benefits. And the salaries and benefits are posted just for that reason. They want to attract good candidates with money. Seems like a no brainer.

    "White-collar workers are facing more pressure than ever before," Keith Spencer, career expert and certified professional resume writer at Resume Now—an online platform that provides useful tools and resources to job hunters—told Bored Panda.

    "The rise of AI has created both opportunities and challenges. While it's easier to find jobs, standing out in a crowded market is harder. The competition is fierce, with more people applying faster due to AI tools.

    "On top of that, workers are balancing the demands of remote work, which can blur the lines between work and life, leading to burnout," Spencer added. "As industries evolve rapidly, there's also constant pressure to upskill, especially when the skills you learned yesterday might not be enough for tomorrow's job market."

    Context. If OP is a stay-at-home parent, providing all or most of the house and child care, expecting them to continue to do at that at the same level and ALSO get a job and contribute financially is too much. But if both are contributing equally in that respect it isn't.

    According to Resume Now's The Price of Extra Work report, the emotional and mental toll of additional responsibilities remains a significant issue, too.

    The survey, conducted in December 2024, discovered that 59% of workers frequently experience burnout due to difficulty saying "no" to extra work. Also, accepting extra work often interferes with personal or family time, with 52% reporting occasional interference and 12% experiencing it constantly.

    So true. Fed Ex Ground sent our rolling air condtioner on a 7 day all inclusive tour of the Puget Sound in the middle of a heat wave. We tracked down 1/2 through the tour and begged them to just give it to us. "Oh no, it's in the middle of a pallet and we can't take that apart". "But you'll have do that anyway to put in on the truck." "So?" You bet we made the delivery guy bring it up the 12 steps and over the door frame.

I thought what a shame people couldn't address their own misunderstanding around what socialism actually is (he was being labeled as such and being framed as a bad candidate because of that). Bernie would be great for this country. I still voted for him and will do it again in a heartbeat.

    I remember working 60 hours a week in San Francisco plus a commute of 60-90 minutes a day. I was so tired one day I worked 20 hours. HR was on my a*s and it did kick up my weekly check but I left them after 3.5 years. I then slept for a month and started my search for a new job. I sometimes regret it cuz the pay was so good but am happy I left, all in all. This was about 40 years ago.

    If you're a white-collar worker who relates to most of these memes but is still unsure whether to quit your job or continue waiting for it to improve, Keith Spencer of Resume Now suggests asking yourself these questions:

    1. Am I growing? "If you feel like you’ve hit a ceiling or that opportunities for advancement are stagnating, it’s worth considering your next move," the career expert highlighted.
    2. Does the work align with my values? According to Spencer, if the company’s culture or mission no longer resonates with you and the spark is gone, staying just for the paycheck might not be the best long-term decision.
    3. How’s my work-life balance? "Is work bleeding into your personal time too often? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s a sign that something needs to change."
    4. Am I fairly compensated? Part of a healthy professional relationship is being recognized financially for the value you bring. If you're undervalued, Spencer believes it’s okay to look for a role where your contributions are better rewarded.
    5. What do others think? "Sometimes an outside perspective from mentors or trusted colleagues can provide clarity, especially when you’re stuck in the day-to-day grind," he said.

    Had been working for a big name auto service company for 10 years as an ASE Certified Master tech, new district Mgr. decides to eliminate commission and put us all on hourly wages based on our last 12 months average productivity... well for 3 years I was one of the 2 top producers in the district, but the 9 months preceding the pay change our store lost its service manager, sales manager and had only one rookie salesman. The store manager was gone most of the time so I was asked to fill in as "acting" service and sales manager and paid "non-productive bonus" to compensate for lack of my usual commission. Our store sales stayed the same even though we were basically down one tech, minus both a sales and service manager... Well the district Mgr. Decided that I should only get minimum wage since I showed no productivity and my so called bonus and sales figures did not account for anything... I had anticipated such and looked him in the face and told him he was nuts, and quit

    Amusing, but fewer than 500 people are charged with tax fraud or tax evasion a year, and the amounts we're talking about are more than $100,000. Despite stories and tall tales, the IRS won't go after somebody unless they are going to get more money than it costs to collect the evidence and analyze it. So no, Jordan, the IRS is not going to go after you because you have an additional $250 in deductibles which may be questionable. But yes, the USA has some of the most confusing taxes, and, unlike most other places, it is the job of the individual to make sure that the taxes come out of the paycheck, rather than the employer's.

I'm seriously ill, have Covid and a violent ex and another court case against him coming up... Wanna send me to prison? I've heart monitor pads stuck all over my chest and I'm hooked up to the monitor, a breathing tube up my nostrils, a catheter up my urethra, I'm pooping into bedpans and I've no idea if I'm ever going to be able to walk again. Plus I'm on benefits so it should be being paid any g*****n way!!! ... So right now? You're the least of my worries."... They wrote it off. That time. 🙄

    "Then, as I fell into the CEO's manly embrace, we both realised that all our dreams had finally come true. 'Oh, my love, I will complete ALL the spreadsheets for the rest of our lives together!' 'And I swear, my darling, to pay you $5 an hour for every day of those years of happiness,' he breathed into my ear. 'God I love it when you punish me, Master,' I groaned."

    I finally had a REAL answer to that abhorrent question! “Because I’ve worked with the hiring manager at two previous companies. I like and respect them and we work well together. They told me I’d enjoy the role and like working for the company. I believe them.”

    My wage increase has never been more or equal to inflation. At any job I've ever worked. I work in healthcare and was considered an essential employee during the pandemic. They could have given me a raise and actually matched inflation since it was so low during the pandemic, instead they called me "Hero" and told me to get back to work. Oh and they held my retirement matching for 18 months. America is a scam.

    That’s why you have to job hop. They won’t pay you a decent raise. But to attract new hires companies are willing to do a lot. I find a job that pays more. Tell my current company. And if they can’t match I switch. 1 year later they’re offering similar pay.

    If they raise the price of chicken people will buy less of it and we'll have more chickens. If we have more chickens we'll have more eggs, and if we have more eggs the price will come down. It's basic supply and demand, so how come I'm the first one to think of it?

    If in in the aisle seat I'll stand up and help get people's stuff out of the overhead, I want off this fing tube and if I help the 6 people near me get their s**t together then it will be a few seconds faster. Also there needs to be a retired drill instructor telling people when to get up and move out so the people behind them can go, it's infuriating how little regard people have for each other's time.

    Especially when the pilot tells everyone to remain in their seats so people with connecting flights can get off first 😡

    It's not who's off the plane first. It's whose luggage is off the carousel first.

    Tbf I'd take an air fryer over a baby any day. Babies are really bad at cooking.

    The part I loved best about working from home during lockdowns was that it meant skipping the worst part of my job: the morning commute.

    The part I loved best, as an essential worker, was such a peaceful and rapid commute.
