  I'm curious if this is the meme template they're referencing:

  Perhaps it was similar to this "Hide the Pain Harold" one

  That is not a good sign

  The "…" has ambiguity, but it's probably not a positive. That usually means something like, "I'm annoyed at this, need I say more?"

• You'd hope that most bosses have a good enough sense of humor to laugh off something like this. 

  But still… It does speak to an undercurrent of unhappiness on this team. I mean, most people aren't 100% happy at work all the time. I'd even go so far as to say that friction and tough times can bring a team closer together. 

  With a meme like this, though, I feel like the boss might take it kind of personally. This person is lamenting (via meme) about how they dread going to work. 

  I suppose the best possible scenario is that it starts a dialogue about workplace habits. For example — why does the boss, Dave, schedule 8 AM meetings on Mondays? Who in the world is alert enough at that time of day to be using their full brain power in a meeting? 

  I think it's more likely that this worker gets a light scolding (and perhaps their meme gaffe becomes a workplace legend! They were the person who was bold enough to say what everyone else was thinking, but would never dare speak aloud.)
