‘Work Meme Of The Day’: 35 Funny Memes For When You’re Barely Getting By

Dolly Parton had it right when she sang about the hardships of working 9 to 5, just to make a living. Though the original song was about the inequalities found in the workplace during the 1980s, to be fair, some of those observations still apply today.

So, as the song says, chin up, pour yourself out a cup of ambition, and doom scroll for a minute to balance the mental chaos that comes with gainful employment. With that goal in mind, we’ve chronicled a list of relatable work memes found on the Work Meme of the Day FB page to help you find the funnies in life once more, before charging back into the rat race.

Kalani Allen:

Got it backwards. Employee does minimal or unskilled work. Company pays accordingly. Want more pay? Add value. When you make your organization more money from your labor they will increase pay.

Vegard Witsø:

The logic breaks down when the skilled and diligent employee does take on extra responsibility: If he’s lucky, his title might inflate a bit, but his wage typically doesn’t just by itself. He has to demand it. Not so easy to do, if you are the diligent type. And you see it everythere around you: There’s plenty of people working 60 hours weeks, who aren’t rich. And amongst rich people, many enough aren’t working hard at all. There’s no connection between working hard and getting paid.

This is how I found myself working at Taco Bell, but being paid so little that the only way I could afford to eat Taco Bell was to take something home after my shifts.

Michael Arellano Macaraig:

It helps if your employees can become your customers. Ford paid his workers enough so that they could buy his cars given time.

The cash register does the math but they still can’t count the change correctly.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
