50 Work Memes To Laugh At While You Ignore Your Responsibilities

Or to show you how to get the hard work done by yourself so your boss can claim all the credit

Oh, the delusion that people didn’t work as much in the “olden days”. They did. Let’s look at farm work. My great grandparents had a dairy farm. The animals needed tending all year around and they grew their own food, which had to be preserved and canned. In the fall, the men would travel out west to work the wheat harvest for cash. In the winter, the animals still needed to be tended, snow shovelled, butchering done, buildings built and any repairs done. My great grandmother had ten children so she was pregnant or nursing for the better part of 25 years. For them, they consider leisure if they were sitting down sewing or mending harness. Believe me, with your 40 hours work week (or 50 hour), you are working less than they ever did.

You should do it regardless of what the company says.

Best tip EVER!

Every decade or so, I pick a new theme for my passwords so that I have a relatively limited pool of potential passwords to remember, while still making them more secure than average; previous theme was Star Wars, so I'd have passwords like GENGrievous3#5% or Obi1Kenobi88*! or the like. I have a different theme these days ;)

You know, dress codes in offices make no sense. I mean, if you're not interacting with anyone on the customer end, why should it matter?

This one should be higher. I can't stop laughing.

"Be glad you have a job." (management)

Damn 😳

That is the correct answer in my opinion. I'm highly motivated by money, you want someone highly motivated, well then highly pay me and everyone will win.

My response in this kind of situation: Go ahead and fire me, I was looking for a job when I found this one.

I count making it in as a milestone.

I do and that’s normal.

I feel this

I was a self employed business owner. My social security income is more than my business income during COVID. Retirement was a no brainer.

You're in a game of Buzzword Bingo. You just need to hear "circle back" to complete the set.

They’ll kick you to curb to save a buck while you’re still very much alive.

Case in point - Hasbro. Right before Christmas, they laid off 1500 employees, at the same time rewarding their three top officers with 22M in bonuses.

But wouldn't the glass break?

Nope, hold it until halfway through the meeting, go pee, then just check your email real quick because you can always find something that needs to be dealt with immediately, and show up right before the meeting ends. Do this for every meeting and you'll look like a really dedicated employee and you can get out of going to useless meetings.

Can you explain to me how you came to this conclusion? = WHAT THE LITERAL F**K WE'RE YOU THINKING?!!!

Company glues a sign to the window, "Closed today because nobody wants to work".

Here I am wondering if she remembered to include 9 months for human gestation in her math. (Also covering up some negative comments).

I'm subject to the Official Secrets Act so no, I can't explain the gap

The pay does help too, though

No no no, that's where I take my anger out on.

literal tornado outside, people still thinking they could order food at the restaurant I worked in at the time.

It’s called annual leave and normal countries have it.

There’s always that one with 1 million questions at the end. That’s when I got in trouble for just hitting exit.

Blanca isn't here to make friends.

socks appeal

Hey, why is kiddo not wearing a seat belt? (edit: also covering up another comment)

Too many years in a career where I never took more than two days off in a row for this very reason.

That's AWESOME!

Me: "Well, all I know is I watch shows on screens and you're on a screen right now. So, you tell me which of us is wrong Mr. Big Shot."

Every day of the week. It's amazing!

“Everyone” as in you won’t go grocery shopping, eat out or travel during that time? Or “everyone” as in only white collar workers?

A train is travelling west at 90mph, another train is travelling east at 75mph. What is the average number of bananas on each train?

Worked here for too many years and learned the meaning of this motto on day 2.

The one thing worse than waking up on Monday to go to work, is waking up on Monday and not having work to go to.

That "34" in the quitting one is missing some zeros at the end.

Blanca seems to be in a grouchy mood today.

Hope you can swim!

In some ways this makes sense if you really need to play the extreme highs and lows at the same time. It would be hard to reach both ends of a piano at once.

Seem to recall a guy who made a custom background for his zoom meetings: it was his room, the he would occasionally poke his head through the door and look around

I once had to fly to Puerto Rico for a week, and we all spent the entire week in a room together... on a Zoom call. A Zoom call with each other in the same room. This cost taxpayer money. No offense to PR - the food is killer, though I didn't have a chance to see any sights - but I didn't appreciate that one bit.

I'm guessing USD360k - if so that's about 550k Australian - imagine how happy we'd be if a house cost that?!?! - for those that don't know, we're lucky to find one for double that in a major city.

You would only be annoyed if you are the lunch thief.

Knowing math is different than liking it.

And "Evian" is the mirror of "naive", so, you're not fully naive until you've bought Evian. Assuming your country has a clean water supply, ofc

I see myself in quarantine

"Leaders" where i work want exactly that... They don't want to hear about anything.😐

Maybe this is nature's way of teaching you the virtues of silence

I hate that response from the dark depths of my black heart...

And thinking “what kind of b******t is the boss gonna start with tomorrow”

While hovering.

Even for travel I'm not getting up that early. LET ME SLEEP!

Silence, yes, blind, no.
