In the decade or so that I have experienced the working world, one of my main realizations has been that persistent hard work will only get you so far a lot of the time. Decent breaks are a necessity to maintain your sanity and ability to contribute in the workplace, and you’re not always going to get rewarded for being the one busting a gut while others loaf around and do nothing. 

While this may sound demoralizing, understanding this can open you up to a whole new perspective on earning a living. It’s one that is frequently shared by work memes. They may not be the most motivational, but it can’t be denied that they are amusing. I challenge anybody who has worked a boring office job to not relate at least a little bit to the struggles they present, even if they are scared of their boss looking over their shoulder.
