It is a pretty spectacular achievement how in a life that is full of numerous minor and major inconveniences, work manages to be one of the most notable ones. I suppose it is inevitable, given that a full-time job takes up a decent chunk of our week and most people only do them because it is a necessity if they want money. However, it's not difficult to believe that working life could be a little less annoying if the right efforts were made. Companies could provide employees with better incentives, and more comfortable working environments. Failing that, though, we still have work memes to allow us to express our woes. The one good thing about job dissatisfaction being so common is that there are plenty of people on the internet who have a hankering to be funny about it. Silly little office jobs are a remarkably fertile source of dumb memes.
