Happy Valentine's Day, you corporate animals! If work was your Valentine, then Friday is your Valentine's Day gift. After a long week of hard work and wishing it was the weekend, you've finally got what you wanted. Whether you have a hot date tonight or you're ridin' solo, there's nothing more exciting than knowing you don't have to walk up for work tomorrow. The Valentine's Day upside? You can score a Papa John's heart-shaped pizza to ease the woes of the last few days.

Though you're still holding out hope for the 4-day workweek, it's difficult not to feel the employee burnout toward the end of the week. I mean, you've likely spent 40 hours staring at a computer screen, customer, or POS system. That would make anyone think they were one step behind a sleek, fashionable strait jacket. If you're looking to blow off some steam with silly workplace comedy, keep scrolling.

This whole “we're a family” thing, most of the time, is a phrase used by bosses to justify negatively advantageous behavior. They know they call the shots, but they want to be able to sleep at night… so they pretend you're their brother (?) or son (?). Pulling the “family” card is almost more annoying than just taking advantage of an employee and owning it. Bosses prefer to compartmentalize their own behavior for the sake of their own peace, but as they do such a thing, their employees' contempt grows.
