Even if you love your job, I'm willing to bet that at some point, it has stressed you out. Things like high workloads, tight deadlines, and a lack of control over decision-making processes can all cause pressure.

If the problems are temporary and there's little you can do to remedy them, learning to relax is crucial. This can be achieved by taking a walk, enjoying a meal, or having an innocent laugh.

The Facebook page 'Work Memes' is here to help us with the latter. Sharing relatable jokes about everyday problems we face when earning a living, it serves as a reminder that we're all in this together.

    These memes illustrate the disconnect between bosses and their employees. Indeed, the American workplace landscape is undergoing profound shifts according to the latest survey from Franklin Templeton.

    In its fourth year, Franklin Templeton’s Voice of the American Workplace Survey found that 91 percent of employers experienced turnover rates of over 10 percent in 2023.

    Furthermore, 80 percent of employers are struggling to meet demands for increased compensation.

    I put stickers on the hand dryers saying, voice activated, say clearly, "Dry my hands". One of the ladies from HR knew it was me. She just laughed and said it would be funny to see who was stupid enough to use them. Best bit was we walked out and heard a manager shouting in the toilet!

    Open door policies are so that HR can get ahead of any potential lawsuit. They are NOT and I repeat NOT so that you can get issues resolved at your place of employment. If you want things to get fixed form a union.

    "To address these challenges, employers must prioritize strategies focused on employee retention and satisfaction, which may entail offering competitive compensation packages and fostering positive work environments that prioritize employee wellbeing and work-life balance," Reardon added. "By aligning with employee expectations and prioritizing their satisfaction, employers can mitigate turnover and cultivate a more engaged and productive workforce."

    Working in retail, I had a woman come up and buy a box of cigs. She then said, "I need to quit smoking. And missing service on Sundays. And sleeping with men I just met." It was only 8:30 AM and I was done that day.

    Not sure about that. I told the truth and said I had no management experience. They promised to train me. I was given two videos about hazardous spills and phishing emails. Then 10 weeks later someone was mad at for not keeping up with the emails in an account no one told me I had.
