Relatable Work Memes for Burnt Out Employees With a Permanent Case of the Mondays (April 10, 2023)

When are we going to get the 4 day work week situation dialed in? What will it take to wipe Mondays off the work-week map? It seems like ever since you graduated, you can help but count down the minutes until Friday at 5pm only to waste away 1/3 of your weekend on Sunday afternoons when you're stressing out about starting to work again. It's a vicious cycle. Maybe if you had 3 days to do your weekend chores (party, drink, socialize, vacuum, groceries) you'd be more rejuvenated every week. But nooooo, some rich guy in the 1800's decided that a 40 hour work week, Monday through Friday, was the solution to productivity. Could he have been more wrong? We hope that guy is absolutely rolling in his grave right now as we sit in the break room for another 8 minutes, enjoying memes that make us feel alive. 

'[I] don't need them anymore': Entitled Karen asks for a refund for her wedding photos when she gets divorced years later

It never ceases to amaze me the ends that entitled people will go to and the mental hoops they will jump through in order to justify their behavior…

"Hi! It's your old pal from Kindergarten here. I don't know if you still remember me, but I'd like my Pokemon cards back that I traded you for your cookie since I'm not using the cookie anymore, and the fat cells it gave me have long since gone away!"

With that logic, anyone could ask for a refund for anything—at any time. It would be utter anarchy and spell the end of our society as we know it.

These messages were shared on Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit, where readers reacted to and roasted the Karen for her bizarre request.

Update: 'AITA for calling my GF out?': Boyfriend snitches on his GF's eating habits in front of her strictly vegan friend

It's surprising the lengths people will go to impress someone in their social circle. When you want to fit in with a social group, it's easy to begin dressing like them or talking like them as a result of spending so much time together. This woman, Michaela, did something similar when she met her coworker Sheila, who's a strict vegan. Michaela then also began to have a "vegan lifestyle," and started posting about it on social media. However, her boyfriend, who wrote the post, noticed that Michaela is still eating animal products like cheese and milk — so she's a vegetarian, but not really keeping to veganism. However, that's really bugging the OP to see his GF act like a hypocrite. He chose a really inopportune time to call her out! 

Up next, this husband lied to his wife for 13 years about a candy she loved — and now that she found out his secret, she's really annoyed. 

‘AITA for getting my bully kicked out of his dream school?’: Student compiles evidence of his bully’s remarks, sends it to the college of his choice

This bully is going to regret some of his decisions. Sure, what the Redditor did was harsh, but you know what's worse? Being relentlessly bullied for years. In our book, this dude got what he deserved. The hero who got his much-deserved revenge shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit after it was originally posted on the AITA subreddit.

 

Our only real concern here is that the bully might discover that the Redditor had something to do with this. OP should not have wished his bully good luck with his chances of getting into school; otherwise, he might have been able to get away with this completely. If you keep scrolling below, you'll see that plenty of folks in the comments section have the same concern. Let's hope he stays safe, gets out of that town, and is able to thrive in college.

'His daughter can do it at a cheaper rate': Boss wants to replace successful social media manager with his daughter to save on budget

When you're doing great at your job, taking on extra duties, and performing admirably, the last thing you expect is to be replaced as a cost-saving measure—especially by your boss's (presumably unqualified) daughter. But, this can happen when your profession is a necessity that your bosses don't understand… and there are certainly some old hats hanging around in various institutions who still don't quite "get" the point of social media marketing.

It's akin to the common adage about the catch-22 challenges of perception IT face… If there are no visible technical issues and no downtime, management will begin to wonder what they're financing an in-house IT team for; on the flip side, when there are visible issues and downtime, management begins wondering what they're paying an in-house IT team for if they can't "keep things running."

Marketing is one of those things that is looked at as an excess expenditure in economic downturns and slashing spending in these areas. While often one of the first options considered, this can also spell certain doom for your business in the long term.

This worker was shocked to overhear their boss proposing that their teenage daughter take over their social media duties as a means of avoiding giving them a raise. They had taken on additional duties, resulting in massive growth for the company's socials, but when they asked for a raise as compensation, the trouble started.

If you're picturing J. Jonah Jameson from Spiderman screaming at Peter Parker, "A raise?.. You want a raise? Your job is so easy; my teenage daughter could do it!" Then you're probably somewhere on the right track.

This won't be the first time an employer has made excuses for not giving workers further compensation for their contributions, performance, and willingness to take on additional work—nor will it be the last. Keep reading to see screen grabs of the Reddit thread that inspired this post, spawned by a Reddit post made by u/OVOnug, who shared their experience to Reddit's popular r/antiwork subreddit.
