Even if you love your work, I'd bet that there are nuances of it that get under your skin. Whether it's interacting with clients, keeping the books, or laughing at your boss's dumb jokes, we all have our pet peeves. And the Facebook group 'Work Related Memes' has them all.
Its 373.5K members regularly share funny jokes about earning a living, so we thought we'd collect some of the most popular ones to put a smile on your face. Or make you cry. There's a thin line between the two when talking about jobs.

The popularity of this group (as well as similar Instagram accounts) might be an indicator of a broader problem.
After trending up in recent years, employee engagement in the U.S. saw its first annual decline in a decade, dropping from 36% engaged employees in 2020 to 34% in 2021, according to Gallup data.
This pattern continued into 2022, as just 32% of full- and part-time employees working for organizations were engaged, while 18% were actively disengaged. (Active disengagement increased by two percentage points from 2021 and four points from 2020.)

I asked for a raise and they didn't give it to me. So now I only work for what they value me. And this is why I spend most of my working hours on BP! 🤣
Engaged employees are involved in and enthusiastic about their work and workplace, while their actively disengaged counterparts are disgruntled and disloyal because most of their needs are unmet.
The engagement elements that declined the most from 2019 to 2022 were:
- clarity of expectations;
- connection to the mission or purpose of the company;
- opportunities to learn and grow;
- opportunities to do what employees do best;
- feeling cared about at work.
Interestingly, younger workers' engagement saw a bigger change than that of their older colleagues.
Engagement for those under age 35 (young millennials and Gen Zers) decreased by four points and active disengagement in this same group increased by four points as well.
Engagement among those 35 years and older, on the other hand, decreased by just two points and the percentage actively disengaged in this group increased by one point.

It starts when we're in school. Getting called to the Principal's office. We're used to not being allowed to defend ourselves on equal ground because we've been infantilized. Boss big, you small. Such nonsense...

That's when I make a show of reading their name tag. And then acting 'shocked' when it doesn't have the word 'management' written on it.
In comparison to the older folks, younger workers experienced more decline in:
- feeling cared about;
- having someone who encourages their development;
- opportunities to learn and grow;
- their opinions counting;
- having a best friend at work.
If I could bet, I'd say they're responsible for creating and spreading more memes, too.

Sometimes when a snow storm or hurricane is coming, I think for a second " maybe they'll close my workplace." Then I remember I work at a hospital...

Engagement among men declined by only one point and active disengagement increased by the same amount.

I honestly despise people expecting recognition just cause they wield "manager" or "C" title. You do your job, I do mine. I's totally out of f..s to give which a*s you've been forced to kiss to get your badge. But you will have my full respect if you are competent at what you do.
Gallup data suggests that organizations are now beginning to settle into hybrid work arrangements. Only 21% of those in remote-ready jobs are working fully on-site. 53% of employees have some form of a hybrid work arrangement, and 26% are fully remote.
The fact that these tendencies are stabilizing could mean that ways of working in the future are more predictable. But these changes raise the bar on the need for high coordination. The role of the manager has never been more important but sadly, they can't remedy all the problems.

I detest it when servers and such put on that fake falsetto voice they think makes them sound nice and then act super sweet as if the customer is too dumb to realize that is what they are doing. Extra thoughts of derision beamed your way if you respond to everything I say with words like AWESOME! and Perrrrfect!. "Have you decided on your order?" "Yes, I'll have the vomit soup with a spoon you used to clean the toilet." "PERrrrfect! Anything else I can get for you?" "Yes, I'd like some extra napkins to eat to make sure I get enough fiber." "Awesome!"
