20+ Best Relatable Coworker Memes Of The Week
Yet another week has nearly gone by, and feelings of lethargy, annoyance, and frustration have officially taken over. In fact, we're just downright mad at this point. Our coworkers are not, as Gen Z so famously says, 'Giving'. In other words, it's not a vibe. Okay fine, that's still Gen Z. IN OTHER WORDS: 'The assignment was not completed'. And sometimes, though we may not like to admit it, we're those coworkers. Maybe we just don't CARE if Susan can find the condiments section, or perhaps we just don't give a flying balloon about whether or not George needs that report. Pay us more and maybe we'll care, how about that?
You may possibly be one of those remote workers who only have to interact with their coworkers via Zoom or email — in that case, lucky you. Scroll down to see the funniest memes of the week that will have you in stitches. If you wanna see last week's memes, feel free to click here.

15+ Malfunctions: Dating App Conversations and Profiles That Failed 10/10
I feel I can speak for the masses when I say that dating apps… suck. The whole ordeal is horrendously difficult. So many different lanes to maneuver, and personally, I'm kinda sick of it. Why bother? People are stupid. Technology is stupid. Everything is stupid. Do I sound disgruntled? When you read the following conversations below, you'll understand. This is real-life people! This is the dating pool. THIS is what you get.
Don't even get me started on the ridiculous FOMO that dating apps have created. The illusion that someone more interesting is just around the corner — and if you swipe just one more time, you'll meet that 'much more interesting person.' Except, they don't exist. It's all in our imagination. We gotta stop with the 'grass is greener' mentality. There is not an endless supply of available people. There is an infinite supply of crazy people, though, so if you're looking for that…
Okay, okay — enough with the bitter rant. Because these funny dating app fails provide us with one really good thing — and that is relatable, funny content. So without further ado, scroll down and read about other people's struggles that anyone who has ever been on a dating app can relate to.

'Somebody emptied the used deep fryer oil into a plastic bucket': 40+ People who made the worst possible mistakes at their job
Everyone has their job and specialty, but no matter how skilled you are, you're always going to make mistakes. Thinking about it is humbling - every person you interact with has botched something at their job. But they haven't messed up quite as badly as these folks below!
Reddit user u/Whomadethebed asked the question, "What's the worst mistake you've seen someone make at their job?" and people filled the comments section with hair-raising tales of the biggest oopsies they know of. Some are pretty drastic, like one person who cost a company literally a billion dollars, while others are smaller but still terrible, like an employee who printed 500 copies of her gas bill on her workplace's printer! Here at Fail Blog, we don't make any mitsakes ever - but keep scrolling to read about 40+ folks who spilled the tea on their coworkers (and themselves) for failing pretty hard on the job.

Update: 'They threatened to take further legal action': Employee fired and asked to repay $1,100 to employer for unsubstantiated wage theft
There are petty employers — then there are employers who fire you for bogus claims of wage theft and demand repayment of said wages. The crazy part is the employer doesn't seem to have (or isn't willing to offer) any proof to back their claims. They're just like, "You're fired, and btw you owe us money," and expect the employee to comply.
After being accused of claiming hours that they had not worked, this employer demanded repayment of the supposed wages under the threat of a lawsuit. In reality, the employee had been skipping their lunch break and working through so they could leave half an hour at the end of the day. The employee, Reddit user u/disappoint-mint, then turned to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit in order to share their experience and seek advice from the avid readers of the sub.
They came away with a wealth of advice, including advice to go no-contact with the employer and to reach out to relevant government agencies.
The Reddit user returned and provided an update in an edit on their original post, sharing that they had received further contact from the company's HR department about a 'concern' that had been brought to their attention. It is unknown what this means, as the employee has maintained no contact.
"So now I'm thinking two things," the user writes. "1. My supervisor just decided to have the legal department take care of it because I ignored him, or 2. My supervisor was full of shit, and they're investigating him. I'm hoping for scenario #2 but expecting #1."
'Your interview was not satisfactory': Interviewer sends wildly insensitive rejection email after candidate had a death in the family
This guy definitely dodged a bullet. On the same day he learned about a death in the family, this candidate attempted to be professional and follow through with a scheduled job interview. After hearing nothing following the interview and reaching out again via email, the person with whom he met sent a nasty, heartless message knowing full well what the candidate had been through.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/emimagique. Not only was the email completely insensitive, but also it contained dumb spelling errors. Talk about unprofessional behavior. Unfortunately, this kind of treatment is not uncommon. I once was ghosted for an interview twice despite numerous emails from the recruiter detailing how "excited" they were to meet with me. We've all experienced some form of this, and it's upsetting, particularly in this day and age when employees want to feel more respected and supported by their employers. The silver lining here is that at least the Redditor was able to see this interviewer's true colors before potentially joining the company.
