Painfully Relatable Work Memes for Everyone on the Grind

As a child, we never saw ourselves growing into a slave to our computers and a 9-5 (let's be real, often 8-8) schedule. We thought we were going to marry Jonathan Taylor Thomas, travel the world, maybe have a few kids, and enjoy our lives dining at fancy restaurants and shopping at designer clothing stores. Things went a bit differently than we expected.

The unsurprising truth is that we all hate working. Why do we even do this? Like, all of us, collectively? What's the point? Can't we just all go for a picnic instead? We're glad that we can pay the bills (though we have some disgruntled thoughts on that, too), but it doesn't always make the grind toward getting the money to pay the bills fun. Instead of despairing at this monotonous, brutal reality, we prefer to scroll through memes that remind us we're not alone in the struggle. And we've got quite a few of those relatable memes right here for you. Stay strong.
