Every employee can only be as good as the company they work for makes them out to be.

You can be the most competent and hardest-working part of a team there is, but if management doesn't like you or your role isn't one of the ones that comes with clout, you will probably be overlooked, underpaid, and grinding away on that hamster wheel with your motivation diminishing more with each passing day.

  • It is a stereotype as old as the concept of the workplace that many people do not enjoy their jobs and tend to find them more stressful and boring than rewarding. While it is fair to say that not everything in life is going to come easily, it is also true that more could be done to make work feel more meaningful and bearable. AI might be on the brink of replacing a chunk of the world's employees, but in the meantime, those who are working could be having a nicer time of it.

    Of course, most employees have their strategies when it comes to getting through the workday. Some have a favorite colleague to joke around with, or maybe they pack something particularly tasty for lunch. There is also the elite procrastination strategy that is work memes, which are designed to sympathize with every beleaguered worker who is losing patience with their 9 to 5. They offer comfort in the reminder that everyone who is bored or frustrated with their job is far from alone in the struggle.
