This meme features a solid black background. At the top, white sans-serif text reads 'Listening to coworkers talk about how great the person you replaced was.' Below the text is a widely used 3D yellow round emoji face with wide, staring eyes and a strained, forced polite closed-mouth smile. The meme humorously captures the relatable, awkward, uncomfortable feeling of being a new employee who has to politely listen to their colleagues gush about how good the former employee in their role was, while internally feeling awkward or discouraged by the comparison.

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 a white domestic chicken sitting in a black leather chair at a desk completely covered in extremely complex, vintage electronic control equipment, including CRT monitors, oscilloscopes, rows of knobs, switches, indicator lights, and a keyboard. The chicken appears completely out of its depth in the highly technical setting, which serves as a visual joke representing someone who has overstated their qualifications on their resume and is now faced with a job they are entirely unqualified to perform on their first day of work.

A meme that humorously captures the relatable workplace scenario where new employees are encouraged to ask questions but face annoyed reactions when they actually do. The top text shows 'Them' saying, 'We know you're new on the job, so don't be afraid to ask lots of questions!', followed by 'Me: *Asks 2 questions*', and 'Them:' above a blurred, serious-looking profile image of a person, implying frustration or annoyance. The contrast between the initial encouragement and the subsequent reaction creates a sarcastic and funny tone.
