Most of us are tired and overworked these days. Jobs can be all-consuming and work can feel endless. Today feels like one of those days when the second the clock hits 5pm, we should all run out of the office like Forrest Gump and never look back. No end-of-day meetings or tasks or questions. No "can you do this one final thing for me?" or "do you mind taking a quick look at this?" No. Quick. Looks. Just "run, Forrest, run!"

 

For those of you who could use a commiserative laugh or two in the middle of a stressful work day, we've got you covered. As the say, laughter is the best medicine (well, besides, you know, medicine). These images were shared on Imgur by user WolfWoodPress. We've seen other scenarios like these. Such as this story when a job applicant walked out of the interview upon learning the job was wildly different from its description online.

    Happy - Tim Ross @TimRossComedy Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, buy the pond, tell him he can't have the fish but he can fish for you and you sell the fish and give him a very small cut and then he'll say stuff like “I am hungry and my teeth hurt." Nobody wants to fish these days

    Font - Brigette Hyacinth. Gr. 3+ Author of Leading the Workforce of the Future Keynote Sp... 5 zile • → I don't care whether you come into the office at 8 am. I don't care if you choose to work from home or not. I don't care if you work from the garage while they fix your car. I hired you for a job and I trust you to get it done. Just let me know what you need from me to be successful in your role. And I will show up for you. Life happens! You don't need to justify to me why you need a day off.

    Font - Adam Grant @AdamMGrant The holidays shouldn't be a time to recharge. They should be a time to celebrate. If work is exhausting people to the point that they're using their time off to recover, you might have a burnout culture. A healthy organization doesn't leave people drained in the first place.

    Organism - Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle Sending your employees back to the office when gas, food, child care, pet care, etc are all through the roof - and not giving them a raise - after they spent 2 years doing the job just as well from home is a great way to tell your employees you don't care about them

    Font - Looking for the Perfect Candidate? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. No, seriously You are? Hiring used to take 3 days, now it takes 3 months. Great candidates are turning down your jobs because hiring is a nightmare and no one can make a frigging decision. People used the be 'teachable' and 'trainable' now they need to be ready to 'hit the ground running.' People are not perfect. They never have been. So STOP looking for PERFECT and accept the fact that humans are messy, crazy, smart,

    Font - No Time Off Requests will be accepted from November 20, 2021 until January 2, 2022 OOF. Here's the thing: your employees do not owe you every waking minute of every day. You are not entitled to all of their time because you are their employer. This is why the term "requesting off" annoys me so much. I'm not making a request, I am notifying YOU that I am not available to work those days. The reason for my day(s) off doesn't matter, my job is not my entire life. If I want to take days and s
