50 Funny Memes About Work That You Probably Shouldn’t Be Reading While On Duty, As Shared By “Humorous Resources”
W. Edwards Deming, a forward-thinking American who helped engineer the Japanese economic miracle and put forward the continuous quality improvement philosophy, wrote that 94% of issues in the workplace are systemic, while only 6% are attributable to individual-level, idiosyncratic factors. Therefore, improvements should mainly focus on systems—not individuals. However, progress is often not as fast as we'd like it to be. Just take a look at the social media meme magazine 'Humorous Resources.' Spanning across different platforms, it shares all the annoying problems that everyone who has been a part of the workforce knows all too well.

Same, but for encouragement. And just in case it's the only item that gets crossed off :(
It's also nice to write a list of what you managed to do that day.Even taking a shower or brushing your teeth counts!
Load More Replies...I also did for a while Done list where I would write stuff which I have just done for work and cross it off and also tick off too
Sometimes I have such an awesome experience, I add it to my bucket list and cross it off. Like "nuclear disaster themed virtual reality escape room."
No this is a real thing guys. Same with grocery lists. Even if you're in the middle of an unplanned task, write it down so you don't lose track of what you were doing. If you've already finished some unplanned tasks for the day, write them down so you can properly assess how productive you were for the day. This is just an all around good habit to get into. I'm a programmer and I do this daily.
That's a good idea though, it makes you feel productive and want to do more.
Yup. I also break chores/tasks down into small, easily manageable steps. Instead of "clean the kitchen ", I'll write 1) empty dishwasher 2) gather dirty dishes & take to kitchen 3) rinse dishes & load dishwasher 4) do handwashing 5) dry & put away handwashing 6)wipe down counters, cabinets & appliances 7) clean sink 8) put out clean hand towels 9) sweep kitchen floor 10) mop/steam clean kitchen floor. This way I feel I've accomplished more. But if not everything gets done, it's easy to see what is left. Plus, the steps feels less overwhelming as it only takes a few minutes to finish each one.
My job is list based so I do this everyday! It shows my boss what was accomplished that day... And yeah... There's a certain satisfaction of adding something to the list then immediately crossing it off!
Yes Please
Please And Thank You
I quit a job because I was considered "rude" for sitting in my car instead of listening to more coworker bullsh@t at lunch. Don't miss that place.
Fairly Coercive
True that. When they say "No one is forcing you to stay", it's so untrue because finding a job is difficult and keeping it is even harder in a society that you're easily replaceable. No job means no money and if you don't have money, you have to set aside your pride and dignity to ask organizations for the poor for their help just to survive in an economy that is tearing at the seams. Inflation with no wage increase is just putting us all into debt and ruining our lives and relationships and we're too poor and powerless to stop it.

I love this. Not complaining, but - I've noticed a plethora of east European writers - no Caribbean, no American, or British. Just me? I enjoy these - in fact, I've added so many to my preferences - so no shade. Just a curious fact.
