Even when we are off the clock, many of us have lives that seem to revolve totally around work. 

During the week, we are meal prepping and setting alarms for us to be ready to go and slog away at the grind the next day; during weekends and vacations, we are simply waiting for the next time that we have to leave our freedom behind and return to the workplace. For something that, for most, is not meant to take up more than 40 hours of our week, the mental space it occupies takes up so much more time than it should.

  • We could argue that having a job helps give us some purpose, and, for most people, it is the only way they are going to earn enough money to be able to exist sort of comfortably. For some, this makes it worth it that we live in a culture that seems to prioritize work at every turn. This ignores the fact that it is possible to find much deeper fulfillment in things like hobbies, family, and even just hanging out with friends. More often than not, employees feel like their role is just an annoyance that helps to facilitate these other things.

    This is never more apparent than when we take a look at the content of work memes. There are plenty of disgruntled workers out there, and they love to turn this frustration into silly humor. It is one of the better ways to procrastinate at work.
