Viral Thread: Employee Lives the Dream, Suspended From Work For a Meme


This employee was rewarded for their fantastic sense of humor with two paid weeks off work. It's fantastic that their boss has such an incredible sense of humor and is willing to reward their employees for honesty. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit this week, where it went viral, earning a whopping 71k upvotes so far. It was published by the suspended employee, Reddit user u/SkrandyNick, who shared images of their work's group messages. The messages show the boss congratulating the team on a job well done, to which u/SkrandyNick responded with their meme.

The meme template is a webcomic macro known as "Drowning High Five," which shows a situation where you are receiving something other than the assistance you are desperately needing. By using this template, u/SkrandyNick was calling out their workplace for offering congratulations for a job well done while simultaneously pouring more and more work onto fewer people. 

When the boss responded that they would "have a conversation" in the evening, they responded with another meme using the "You Go to Jail" template, which features a scene from the show Parks and Recreation.

The final image posted shows their suspension notice.
