It's not just the workers who generate profits. I'm happy to contribute my skills and take my share, while the people who had the vision, took the risk, and managed the enterprise take theirs. I don't need their headaches.

It took me a few years. Largely because job searching is no fun in the sun, either. Same with being the new person and going through training all over again, and having managers, supervisors and coworkers pissed off at you for being slow and making rookie mistakes. Ugh. It's a necessary evil, though.

Any company that has to tell you they are a family. Believe us we know if it is or not. You don't have to tell us.

That guy shows initiative. I'd hire him...

Just to acknowledge the artist: it's a scene from a book by Swedish author-illustrator Sven Nordqvist (possibly Pancakes for Findus).

Need 2 stay in bed days for doing what I feel like I want to do. Not what I feel like I have to do because it was instilled in me in childhood.

"Back in my day, we had to suffer so now you do too" thinking is no way for a society to progress.

Leats annoying way to have money. Yep i'm into this. Cannot be a gangster that's too annoying. And not talented enought to earn money with something i like to do. So a job. Least annoying is ok.

Its a dilemma🫤. Money or free time?

yes!

Here we call it...Being on the verge of a burn-out.

not just adults, teens too

Or they try to monetize Hobby's and recreation to where your just like I'm just going to have to work more to afford my hobby

Every damn day. I work retail. I get one day off at a time. I’m too exhausted to do anything on my one day off and then I feel guilty because I didn’t do anything on my one day off

If you don't care for capitalism, there are many other places to go.

I got a "needs improvement" for attendance during my last performance review. Everything else was "meets" or "exceeds expectations". Seriously?!? I was told I should have more leave accumulated due to how long I've been at my job. No, I'm maximizing my time outside the office with my family and doing things I enjoy. If that's the only issue you have with me than shut it! Guess who's s not exceeding expectations anymore...

"BuT tHaT's CoMmUnIsM!" - conservatives & Elon Musk

This should be ranked higher....

it should be higher

I'm certainly here and I'm certainly strange!

"I'm not an alcoholic. I guarantee you I won't come in drunk."

I feel not alone anymore.

The last company I worked for started this Highlighted Employee thing in their newsletter. It just stated info on a selected employee. Usually it was the Team Leaders and maybe a well-favoured "bottom-feeder" employee. I never participated. Got me thinking that it was just a reminder to management that they're dealing with living humans with real lives.

That's the all point of the day. I just count hours and my only goal is to leave at time.

Not a cell phone in sight. Just 3 frogs living in the moment.

*takes notes*

Cute

yep.

Sadly, not true... I've spent 6hours at school with people who made me feel angry and sad and I hated it there, then I spent rest with blood relatives who did the same, Work is no different, except I am paid to deal with this s#it.

Salaried!? Hourly 😭

Good ol' WordArt

Or don't fall for the trap.... I've been in the workforce for over 30 years and this recent trend of "job tryouts", just baffle me. I've even heard of "employers" having a prospective employee, program an app or solve a problem for them....for free....of course, with no job offer. Then the "employer" rinses and repeats.

Asked what I want to be doing in 5-10 years? Exactly what I am doing now, still work from home, thank you very much. I don't want to supervise, I don't want to move to another department, etc. Just let me do the job I love.

Webinar?!? I had a job where, after being called into HR for some BS and balling my fists so tight that my fingernails drew blood, I confessed that I was suicidal. When I returned to my desk, they'd left me a brochure for the "Employee Assistance" phone support. Joke was on them... 3 hours later I went on 6 months of stress leave at 100% salary. But, honestly, even with staying home it took 3 months to stop having intense daily work anxiety.

nice :)

Parents are somewhere in front with the spike strips.

Or give them fancy titles. That one works as well.

Words more true have never been spoken

Germany is known for being pretty productive and efficient, but we also have the phrase "feeding your inner pig-dog", i.e. taking the time to enjoy being lazy. Don't forget to feed your inner pig-dog, people!

me trying to comfort my friend at school.... the same goes for her usually we both kind of cry it out together...lol

Too obvious. Use "prep" and "debrief"

23 years of Hospital here ! Can't keep the count of how many times we had to do the job with less people avalaible. Bosses don't care.

It's either that or forage for nuts and berries, hunt for meat, or find roadkill.
