It can be hard to remember that your social media is public (if it is). You might be comfortable in your bubble of friends and followers, but it’s easy to forget that anyone can look up your name and have so much access to you. Especially when you’re looking for jobs. It’s a known fact …

The Best Relatable Work Memes This Week (June 23, 2025)
Many employees find that the workplace is somewhere that they love to hate. On the one hand, it pays the bills (well, most of them) and can give us a vague sense of purpose in an otherwise chaotic and pointless-seeming world. On the other hand, it often requires us to do annoying and boring things …

Supervisor writes up warehouse employee for not smiling enough at work: ‘I work 10-hour shifts moving heavy boxes in a windowless building where we’re not allowed to have earbuds, take phone calls, or speak unless it’s job-related’
Working always has some element of performance. I remember my first day at my first ever job, my boss told me that my voice didn’t sound excited enough for customers. I was just talking the way I usually do, which I’d venture to say is more enthusiastic and bubbly than most people. But once I …

Bosses refuse to pay employee living wage, secretly write off multi-million dollar mansion as an office: ‘They are going to pay the person after me over 15k LESS than I’m making’
Hypocrisy is never a good look. Most of us are hypocrites in some way or another, though. Maybe you say you really care about preserving the environment but you love an hour-long steaming shower. Maybe you tell someone you’re breaking up with that you «don’t want anything serious» and then dive headfirst into a long-term …

Company lays off senior employee 2 weeks before Christmas, asks her to redo part of an old project 6 months later: ‘They barely gave me any severance. I was unemployed for 6 months.’
There’s something so definitive about firing or breaking up with somebody. If you do it, you must be 100% okay with never receiving anything from them ever again. You will never get another hour of work from an employee you fire. You may never see your ex again after breaking up with them, let alone …

Boss calls employee into their office over ‘attitude problem’ when employee scoffs at being asked to complete a non-urgent task: ‘He’s picking on you because you aren’t always a people pleaser’
Attitude is a slippery concept. Are you born with a certain attitude? Does life thrust it upon you? Does it change from day to day and do you have control over those fluctuations? I’m not sure. I know that sometimes I wake up on the wrong side of the bed and my attitude is all …

The Best Relatable Work Memes This Week (June 17, 2025)
For most people of working age, setting an alarm, doing a commute, and navigating the general ups and downs of being an employee is nothing unusual. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s not annoying and depressing at times (if not a lot of the time). The workplace is a common source of complaints for a …
