work

Since the momentous beginning of memes over 20 years ago, they've dramatically grown in popularity. Sure, they've changed a lot - but so has humor. Their popularity has led to some pretty dull humor - lowest common denominator comedy. You know, memes about how much work sucks or how difficult it is to date in this hell world. It's not surprising that those jokes get circulated like a chain email in the 90's. Beyond the boring relatability, however, there are some weirder memes to be enjoyed. Memes that heavily feature trash animals like possums and raccoons. Memes that lament existence. And then there are memesthat really don't make any sense. This assortment kind of checks off all of those bases.  

Work can be fun and challenging at the same time. Some days are obviously better than others, and managers, coworkers, and clients have a lot to do with how your day goes. A Redditor started a thread asking Reddit women about the dumbest questions they've ever been asked at work, and boy, did they fire back with entertaining stories. As dumb as these questions are, they sure make for an entertaining workday. Scroll down to check 'em out. 

TGIF, friends and meme-lovers. We're back with another super-sized batch of memes, curated specifically for your convenient consumption. Offering up dumb memes. Clever tweets. Lots of depressingly relatable content, and, of course, memes for people who seriously hate their jobs. Coming from people who collect memes for a living, it doesn't matter if you're looking at funny crap all day. Jobs just suck. So if you're at work, enjoy this break. And if you're not? Hell, you'll enjoy it even more. 

Sometimes work gets way too routine, and we need to spice things up a little bit. We all send boring, predictable emails on a daily basis... if only there was a way to craft emails that could make our routine a tad more exciting. Lucky for us, a Redditor started a thread about how he could assert his dominance over his coworkers through adding new, unique content to his email signature, and fellow Redditors had some hilarious ideas. Looking to assert your dominance over your own coworkers? Check out what the Redditors had to offer below. 

Clowns have been having quite the moment over the past few years. "Jokerfied" has become a verb. Thousands of women have been Harley Quinn for Halloween. It had a new opportunity to become a household name. Despite all these prominent media moments, we (as a society) are overlooking the biggest clowns of all: ourselves. 

That's right. Somehow, the human race has managed to make jesters of themselves on a day-to-day basis. Whether it's convincing yourself that you matter to your corporate overlords, or if you've convinced yourself that you can change your toxic partner, we're constantly subconsciously donning giant shoes and making a mockery of ourselves by playing dumb. But we're not alone. Pretty much every living, breathing human with an ounce of empathy, heart, or soul has themselves up for clownish disappointment. And boy, are there a ton of memes out there that reflect just that. 

We all have to go to work to pay the bills in order to just survive - unless you're a trust-fund baby who inherited millions from your rich uncle (in which case get out of here). Just kidding, you can stay if you want to see how the rest of us plebes live.

Unless you're part of the small but elite club of people in the world who actually loves their job, you'll find going to work a total bummer. And that's OK because you're not alone. In fact, if you asked everyone in the world, 99.999% of them would probably tell you that if they could get paid to stay in bed and drink mimosas all day, they would. Shocking, right? So whether you hate your boss, your coworkers, your commute, or your actual job itself, these memes are for you. And just so we're clear: here at Cheezcake, we love our jobs because we get to create awesome content like this, just for you.

Another day, another terrible Twitter take. The state of how we work has been a major topic of discussion as the world attempts to return to normalcy as Covid-19 seems to be less of a threat for many countries. There have been many think-pieces and Twitter threads about working remotely and fair wages. Then there was the revelation that people would rather quit their jobs than go back to the office. People are starting to question how much of our lives are devoted to work. Which is healthy. Time is precious. We need money, but should we be grinding ourselves to death for it? Or spending 10 hours a week commuting? We don't think so. 

There are, of course, opponents of this radical way of thinking. There are CEOs who are eager to pull the plug on remote work - and the BBC is reporting that the five-day workweek will be re-normalized by 2022. But one person thinks that five days is not enough. Twitter user and venture capitalist (Principal at Atomic) Jordan Kong stoked the ire of a lot of people this past weekend when she tweeted her thoughts on young people trying to work on their careers. 

Unpopular opinion: the best thing young people can do early in their careers is to work on the weekends.

The sentiment - which seems a little dehumanizing - was not received well. Proponents of balance and "working to live" were quick to share their opposition. Incredulous people shared some roasty zingers. And then, of course, the funny people of Twitter turned the tweet into a snowclone, with some memes showing their disdain for the take and others using it to make jokes filled with pop culture references. Though we're sure some people will disagree, it's nice to see some people standing up for our right to not work. Even if they're doing it through memes.

Being an adult has pros and cons. On the one hand, you're more independent and powerful than ever, but on the other hand, with great power comes great responsibility. And that responsibility isn't a price we're always willing to pay. The thing about adulting is that even though you're not down to accomplish all of your responsibilities, you still gotta. The people of Twitter have to undergo the neverending cycle of adulting on a weekly basis, and we're sure you could relate. Scroll down for this week's best adulting tweets. 

Every now and then we see someone that has actually gone out of their way to avoid doing something that is above their pay grade - or below it. And we can't help but almost admire them. The "Not my job" attitude is one that exudes healthy self-worth, and enviable determination. These 50 instances are some of the more amusing (and impressive) times people just "noped" their way out of responsibility. We hope this is a skill we can learn someday.

Unfortunately, far too many of us end up missing the red flags at jobs that can end up costing us all kinds of precious energy further on down the road. The reasons these people ended up dishing out for why they had to quit their jobs on the spot seem entirely warranted. Sometimes you've just gotta dip out on the scene as soon as possible. Check out some of the biggest red flags that people got during job interviews over here. Maybe you'll be able to take their own lessons with you so that you don't find yourself in the same boat as them. 

So many of us are prone towards telling silly little white lies. It could be the result of just trying to keep things simple by not being completely, brutally honest. Or maybe you find yourself in a customer service gig where you're regularly putting up with all kinds of crazily entitled customers, and the lies are the only thing that keep the job vaguely manageable.
