25 Relatable Memes For When Your Brain Just Says ‘Nope’ To Work

Someone somewhere has already probably said it, but truly some days “work is a real drag”. It’s a sentiment many of us can relate to, as we navigate through jobs that might not always bring us joy.

Penguin Panda Pop: It’s absolutely infuriating that actual members of government (in the UK at least) spout this utter nonsense. Saying that some jobs shouldn’t earn a living wage is ridiculous. Capitalism says that cleaners don’t deserve to live so we’ll just go along with that, because we obviously don’t need things to be cleaned.

Monoxide: I was ghosted by a company that was trying to headhunt me from my current role. Called, offered me a massive pay increase, I did 2 phone interviews, then… nothing. Not one single person out of 4 I was in communication with would return calls or emails. Im not mad about not getting the position (honestly, I wasnt super into it based on one of the bosses being a guy I used to work with), but you came TO ME… Then ghosted. I was annoyed and confused.
