The meme consists of two parts: top text and a photograph. The top text reads, ‘The employee survey is 100% anonymous.’ followed by ‘My manager the next day:’. Below the text is a photograph of two cats on a cluttered table. The left cat is a brown tabby with a calm, observant expression, sitting and looking at the right cat. The right cat is white with gray patches, standing and leaning toward the tabby cat with a suspicious, accusatory, and confrontational expression, as if questioning or confronting the other cat. The visual joke humorously illustrates the irony of employers claiming employee surveys are ‘100% anonymous,’ yet managers being able to identify respondents, with the cats mimicking this dynamic.
