Some of us don’t function well on the fly. We like to have everything planned out as much as possible so we can take our minds off of things. We like everything to be in its place before we can truly relax. We like knowing where we’re going to be and when we’re going to …

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.

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’
