Overview

A meme featuring two individuals shaking hands in an office environment. The left person, labeled as 'HR', appears to be smiling and professionally congratulating the right person. The right person, labeled as 'Me', has an overlay indicating they are secretly planning to resign via email despite just completing their probation period. The humor stems from the contrast between the HR's positive gesture and the employee's hidden intent to leave, creating a sarcastic workplace scenario. The image includes a watermark from 'imgflip.com' in the bottom left corner.

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit's Meme community, as indicated by the source information. It is a remix of an existing visual (likely a TV show screenshot or stock photo) edited with text overlays using the imgflip.com meme generator. The original scene's context is repurposed to create a humorous narrative about resigning after probation completion.

This is a single-panel static meme using a popular handshake scene from the US sitcom *The Office*. The smiling older man on the left is labeled "MY BOSS CONGRATULATING ME FOR NOT FALLING FOR THE PHISHING TEST", shaking hands with the younger, blank/confused looking man on the right, who is labeled "ME, WHO HAS 4,000 UNREAD EMAILS". The core ironic joke is that the employee is being praised for good cybersecurity awareness, when he actually passed the phishing test purely by accident because he never checks or opens his emails at all, so he never encountered the test phishing message.

This meme humorously exaggerates the extremely long wait many job applicants experience after attending a job interview, when companies frequently fail to get back to candidates. It shows a human skeleton (skull and hand) slumped over a dusty, cobweb-covered old keyboard in front of a computer monitor that reads "waiting for reply...", implying the applicant died waiting to hear back from the hiring company. Large top text confirms the context: "ME WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE COMPANY THAT INTERVIEWED ME".

A meme featuring two characters from the TV show 'The Office' in an office setting. The left character, smiling and shaking hands, is labeled with text stating 'IT DEPARTMENT CONGRATULATING ME FOR PASSING THE PHISHING TEST.' The right character, standing neutrally, is labeled 'ME BEING JUST TOO LAZY TO CHECK MY EMAILS.' The humor arises from the contrast between the IT department's praise for supposedly passing a phishing test and the actual reason (laziness in checking emails), creating a sarcastic take on workplace IT scenarios.

This meme uses the popular 'It ain't much, but it's honest work' farmer image macro to joke about misleading job listings on LinkedIn. The top text reads: 'Me after reporting as "potential fraud" all the companies on LinkedIn calling their jobs "remote" but stating you have to live within 20 miles of their office:', followed by the iconic bottom text 'It ain't much, but it's honest work'. The humor comes from calling out companies that falsely advertise positions as fully remote when they actually require employees to live in close proximity to a physical office, making the roles hybrid, not remote. The poster frames their act of reporting these misleading listings as a small but morally correct action.

This is a 3-panel relatable meme featuring the same bearded man wearing a light blue button-up shirt, showing three different facial expressions corresponding to three stages of the job process. The first panel shows the man looking tired, frustrated, and unhappy, with the text label 'UNEMPLOYED APPLYING TO JOBS' above him. The second panel shows the same man looking extremely happy, excited, and smiling widely, with the label 'THE WEEK BETWEEN ACCEPTING A JOB AND STARTING' above. The third panel returns to the man looking tired, frustrated, and unhappy again, labeled 'STARTING THE JOB' above. The joke plays on the common experience that the short, stress-free period between accepting a job offer and beginning work feels like it passes extremely quickly, contrasting the unpleasant stress of job hunting and starting a new job against the very brief pleasant in-between phase.

This meme features two lines of text at the top: first, the common workplace complaint "I'm overworked and underpaid", followed by "Me at work:". Below this text is an image of a middle-aged man in a business suit slouched back in an office chair, intently scrolling on his smartphone. His desk has a stack of uncompleted paperwork, a keyboard, mouse, tissue box, and a computer monitor showing a logged-out screen with a beach background and user profile icon. The core joke is the humorous contrast between the vocal complaint of being overworked and underpaid, and the actual behavior of procrastinating or slacking off instead of working. It satirizes the relatable dynamic where people may complain about their workload while not using their work time productively, resonating with office workers who have experienced or joked about this scenario.

This is a relatable workplace humor meme. Text at the top sets up the scenario: a boss tells their employee they are highly valued on the team, suggests the employee take on more responsibilities, and asks for the employee's response. The next line frames the perspective of the employee, who is about to quit after already accepting a better job offer with higher pay and fewer responsibilities. Below the text is a popular reaction photo of Leonardo DiCaprio at the Academy Awards, seated in the audience wearing a tuxedo, with a smug amused expression, clapping in a placating unconcerned way. This represents the employee's secret internal reaction, as they have no incentive to take on more work, and are privately amused by how irrelevant the boss's request is to their situation.

This is a relatable workplace meme using a screenshot from the US sitcom *The Office*. It depicts an older, smiling man in a business suit (character Ed Truck, a former manager) shaking hands with a younger man with a mullet (young Michael Scott, the show's lead character, who appears visibly awkward and unenthusiastic). Text overlay on the left side of the image reads 'My manager telling me we are a family', while text on the right side reads 'Me who already applied to 30 different families this week'. The joke satirizes common corporate rhetoric that frames workplaces as 'families' to pressure employees into loyalty, while the employee is already secretly applying to dozens of other jobs to leave their current role.

The meme features a penguin standing against a split background with the top half in blue and the bottom half in red. The penguin is captured mid-walk, facing left with one wing slightly raised. Overlaid text at the top reads 'EMPLOYER DIDN'T ACCEPT MY TWO WEEKS NOTICE.' and at the bottom reads 'NEW JOB IS TO A DIRECT COMPETITOR THAT DOUBLED MY SALARY.' The image humorously conveys a positive career outcome where the rejection of a resignation notice is irrelevant due to securing a better-paying job at a competitor.
