Funniest Work Memes for Burnt Out Employees With a Permanent Case of the Mondays (April 4, 2023)

When you were hired and they said you had a competitive salary, what they really meant was that your salary was always going to be competing with your bills. With inflation up like this and eggs costing a much as a gallon of gas, how many of us have asked for a raise in the last 3 months? Employers always have some excuse like 'quarterly goals' or 'slow season' or something that feels a lot more arbitrary than your ability to pay rent. No offense to your boss, but that would explain your bad attitude lately. So keep up the grimace in your cubicle– maybe your moodiness will wear them down enough to eventually give you that raise you deserve. Or maybe they'll just plan another Friday afternoon pizza party to salvage morale. 

UPDATE AITA: Wedding guest wears wedding dress to a wedding, wonders if they're wrong.

Few rules in life are as stead-fast as "Never wear white to a wedding." You shouldn't wear any colors that might be mistaken for white either; creme, off-white, or eggshell, especially on a dress, will get you on the wrong side of the couple's family for eternity. Even if you manage to smooth things over with the couple themselves and maintain contact, you'll still be forever known as "that one friend who wore white."

Now, if you shouldn't wear white to a wedding, you certainly shouldn't wear a wedding dress to the wedding… unless you're a member of the couple being wed. Of course, if you do this, you might expect a furious mob to chase you off the premises like you're Frankenstein's monster. 

This guest managed to miss this memo somehow, but… are they really in the wrong? This one comes with an exciting twist that I dare not spoil. 

Redditor and wedding guest, u/DanWantsDeath, shared their story to Reddit's r/AmItheAsshole subreddit. Sharing how they managed to get themselves on the wrong side of the bride and groom when they showed up to the couple's wedding in a wedding dress. They appealed to Reddit's popular community to see if they were in the wrong for their actions and the resulting fallout.

Since their original post and judgment, they returned to post an update on the situation to their account.

What's your take? Are they in the wrong here?

'What about the wheelchair you're sitting in?': Tired old Karen requests wheelchair user's wheelchair so she can shop without having to stand

We all know that Karens can be audacious, to say the least, but have you ever come across a Karen who tried to take a wheelchair from someone who actually needs one? Well, that's exactly what happened at this antique store. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/ArtisticPain2355, a woman who rents a display space in said antique store and who also is a wheelchair user. Tired old Karen needed to take a break from walking in this rather large store and started inquiring about wheelchairs so she can continue shopping without having to stand. After the Redditor informed tiny old Karen that she can speak to a staff member but the store doesn't have wheelchairs on hand, tired old Karen had the actual nerve to ask if she could take the Redditor's very own wheelchair. You just can't make these things up! For more stories like this, here's one about a guy who fought his parking ticket and won!

'Buckle up, buckaroos!': Boss forces employee to clock out early to get paid less, tenacious employee busts out contract clearly stating he HAS to get paid for a full day regardless

Why is it that the people who do the most work never seem to get noticed? This is 1000% the definition of a toxic working environment, and yet there are still tons of managers and bosses out there who wholeheartedly follow that. As if your job is only to make them look good, and if you stop trying to make them look good then you're fired, but if you work harder to make them look good, then you can stay right there exactly where you are with no promotions or raises and definitely no acknowledgement of your hard work. The work force is changing these days and more and more places are putting their employees well-being first. But it's a slow change and unions are usually implemented to make sure greedy companies don't abuse their workers. 

So when a boss recently tried to pull a quick one on an union contracted-employee, you better believe he was not having it. As he posted to Reddit, he shared exactly what he said to his boss, even after the union had already explained it to him. Though the employee is known for being hard working and a good employee, one day he got in trouble for being on his phone. So his boss sent him home after only three hours of his shift. His boss tried to only pay him for those three hours, but the employee made sure he was going to get his money. His union contract clearly states that if he is sent home by the boss, then he still gets paid for the full day, regardless. 

The tenacious employee isn't standing down and other Redditors' are cheering him on—some even share their own stories of struggling with toxic employment. Check it out below! 

'You don't get a refund': Guy exploits returns loophole to get his money back

Some retail companies have stupid rules; there's just no way about it… this seems to be particularly common when it comes to returns. To a degree, this is fair; they've got your money, you've got your stuff—it's done, and any interaction they have with you once that transaction is complete will cost them money. 

If you've got an issue with your product, they'll have to take the time and resources to address that. But returning a product is worse; they have to take the time and resources again, except have the added disadvantage of losing a sale and needing to restock that item—which may no longer be in "brand new" condition. From their point of view, maybe you should have considered your purchase for a bit longer before making it. 

Still, the qualifiers companies come up with for returns can be baffling, making the requirements as complex as possible to discourage returners. "You can only return your item if you clap three times on the eve of the full moon while singing a ballad and shaking a tambourine."

This customer, u/dubilendar, got fed up with a store's extremely specific returns policy and decided to work a loophole in order to get their money for their return, sharing their experience to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit afterward.
