We talk a lot of smack about work here at Memebase, but that doesn’t mean that we think it’s all bad. There are plenty of roles out there that are essential to the functioning of society, and having a job is one of the easiest ways to give us a sense of purpose (if we’re doing something we enjoy, that is).

Arguably, the problem we have is with how a lot of us work. In an ideal world, the average employee would be fairly compensated, wouldn’t have to deal with a tyrannical boss or annoying colleagues, and would have a working environment that was as pleasant as possible. 

As we know, this is far from the truth for most people. This means that we’re justified in looking for something to take the edge off, such as a batch of memes that satirize the downsides of working life. These shouldn’t be so relatable, but we might as well enjoy them because they are.
