I wish this wasn't true. I worked with a guy that put it to the test. He basically lowered his output to next to nothing (we are software engineers). Eventually he got board and started doing more work. He got promoted because of the "extra effort" he showed. Yet most of the department normally did twice his workload and got nothing.

"This sounds like a "you" problem. Going forward, you need to write a plan that would best optimize the human resources left in the office while I'm on vacation"

Or you hear that the manager who bullied you has had a mental breakdown - is it still schadenfreude if it's also karma?

Me on rainy, cold days of winter for sure!!

"Professional Dumb Freak" (being nice) thats what!!

The told you so's never get old do they??

I would accept the challenge and grin maniacally all day long.

I am so happy that I like my job everytime I see memes like this!

True ...I used to be this happy go lucky, smiling , being nice to people, laughing, excited about the world, making friends, helping everyone kind of person. Now I just grunt.

Do you have a wife, a mortgage, or the obvious, KIDS ?? If so, there you go.

Most true statement ever spoken for sure!!

..and my back not hurting.

Yep, made the mistake of sitting down first before doing what needs to be done!

You enjoy looking forward to having days off more than the days themselves.

My former boss (fired now) always had this saying; I don't need people who wanna do 8 and hit the gate attitude, worse boss in my entire 47 year working life.

You mean my least favourite co worker towards me... Guess why he's my least favourite....

They're nicer than I would've been 😉

Having a home and being able to eat on a regular basis.

I get 8 hours of sleep. I just wish they were consecutive.

Well start paying me non acting money

Even the calendar says W.T.F !!!

I remember that one! It's been a few decades.

I see nothing wrong here

I once wished some vehicle to crash against us so that I can go back home.

I thought the "Sunday scaries' were something exclusive to childhood. I was wrong 🫣

Sometimes they recongnize you but most of the time they'll just take advantage of you.

The management just tell me how much they appreciate me but they can't give me a bigger pay rise , appreciation doesn't cover my increasing living costs

Ahh yes the fever dream that corporate America paid politicians to shove down our throats as kids.

You might get a cool coffee mug with the company logo on it. It'll help you pay rent.

I fell hard for that package of polished horseshit.

Nope

This resulted in the death of a young professional in India. She was working with EY.

I can agree with most of these reasons except the last one, I can't do cute and I don't need provocation to start a fight

Isn't that most people?

I embrace it, better than hanging around with the alternative.

Got that right!!

Proven so many times anywhere!!

Miss ya Kent

Stupidity is running rampant in the U.S. these days for sure

Oh. Great pic of the James d**k

Well, the customers told me this place must have horrible management, so...

Can you write that down so i may examine it three billion times without wasting your time?

That's me, 5 minutes after arriving at work and having had my first sip of my coffee outside of the building...

Girl, I'm trying to get through the day without a migraine.

I used to. No longer. It's been about 3 years now.

never

Nope it's all about the pay, who you kidding??

My boss has assigned a permanent baby sitter because he walked in and my co-worker and I were talking when nothing was going on in late December. Usually he's on one of his 5 week vacations at that point. Angered him we were talking when nothing was going on.

My Yorkie always so happy to see me when I get home she pee's on the floor, best feeling there is!!

Too right, it's these friendships that get me through the week

Had a former boss tell me after vacay he had like 5k emails, like that's a brag.

My coworkers could tell by the look on my face, whether or not to speak to me.

Had one b***h about not being paid enough (true),IN THE NEXT BREATH, he related how he blew Wednesday off to go to a show. "huh...crazy"

Daily.

I gave up trying to do this years ago, at the end of the day nobody listens or cares about what you have to say
