Every workplace (especially nowadays) comes with its own issues. You can find yourself as a part of an understaffed team, in a toxic environment, with an awful boss… the possibilities are endless. The one sure thing is you never get proper compensation for it. If you call in sick, you're gonna feel the wrath of the invisible grimace your boss is making on the other side of the phone (Assuming you're not a texter). Apparently, you're not allowed to feel unwell, because you don't have enough coworkers to cover your shift (as if that's a 'you' problem).

The hypocrisy is undeniable. A personal issue I've recently started noticing is that the amount of time I spend worrying about work is just about the same amount of time that I actually spend working. AKA, too much time. Do you dream about messing up at work, or are you normal? If you don't give a hoot about your boss or your workload tell me your secret. In the meantime, I've got my memes, which I am happy to share with you guys. You can scroll down and check 'em out below.

While we're on the topic of employees/bosses/being overall broke, check out this tale of malicious compliance.
