This image is a screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post by user Robert Schultz. It contains a sarcastic joke responding to the common employer criticism that remote workers only pretend to work while at home. The punchline retorts that employees are equally likely to pretend to work when they are physically present in the office, mocking the widespread flawed assumption that in-office attendance directly correlates to higher productivity levels.

This humorous workplace meme features text at the top reading 'Well at least that's been cleared up...', followed by a photo of a printed office sign. The official sign, signed by Management and headlined 'EMPLOYEE ATTITUDE', instructs staff to stop acting like they do not want to be at work. A handwritten pink sticky note, signed by Staff, is placed directly below the official sign, replying bluntly 'We're not acting'. The joke rests on the sarcastic contrast: management believes employees are only pretending to be unhappy at work, while the staff confirms their dislike of being at work is completely genuine, resolving the 'attitude' misunderstanding in a funny, relatable way for working audiences.

The meme features a real photograph of a young East Asian woman standing in a domestic kitchen, holding a blue mug with a visibly resigned, deadpan, tired expression as if she is unmotivated before starting her work day. Overlaid on the image is bold white text that reads: 'To be yanked out of 13.8 billion years of oblivion to experience 50 years of wage slavery just to return to the void'. The joke uses existential philosophy, referencing the 13.8-billion-year age of the universe to frame human existence as a short, unpleasant interruption of non-existence, spent almost entirely performing labor for pay (wage slavery) before death, presented as a relatable humorous justification for not wanting to go to work, especially on a Monday.

The meme features top text stating "Your time off request was denied" followed by "Me on my flight:". Below the text is a photograph of Kim Kardashian sitting comfortably in a luxury private jet, smiling casually while holding her smartphone, completely unbothered by the supposed news that her leave request was rejected. The humor comes from the relatable scenario of choosing to go on your planned vacation regardless of your employer refusing your time off request.

This meme uses a clip from the Marvel film Thor: Ragnarok featuring the Grandmaster and Loki sitting side by side. Loki gradually slides his seat further away from the Grandmaster, paired with repeated text that reads "when the normally quiet coworker says 'this is gonna sound weird...'". The humorous, relatable joke plays on the common workplace expectation that reserved, quiet coworkers will often say extremely unexpected, awkward, or scandalous things when they do speak up, leading those around them to preemptively distance themselves to avoid being caught up in drama or awkwardness, as they know they are about to hear surprising gossip or 'tea'.

The image displays a printed help-wanted sign affixed to a glass storefront window, advertising an open cashier position. The sign lists logically impossible, contradictory job requirements: applicants must be a minimum of 18 years old, but are also required to have 20 years of cashier work experience, a standard that is impossible to meet as an 18-year-old could not have accumulated 20 years of working experience. The meme satirizes the widespread, unreasonable trend of employers demanding excessive years of experience for entry-level positions that are intended for new, inexperienced workers. The original post caption quips that AI should replace this absurd kind of irrational hiring practice.

This is a 3-panel reaction meme using a scene from the 2010 comedy film *The Other Guys*. The first panel frames Dwayne Johnson as an interviewer asking 'What's your dream job?'. The second panel shows a blonde female passenger, framed as a job candidate, replying 'Being unemployed with money'. The third panel shows Dwayne Johnson turning back with a shocked, confused expression, representing the interviewer's surprised reaction to the blunt, unorthodox answer that humorously reflects many people's real desire to have financial security without needing to work a traditional job.

This is a two-panel humorous meme. The left panel is captioned 'Customer said it's so inappropriate my nipples are showing', with a red circle highlighting two raised bumps on the chest area of a woman wearing a zipped light gray hoodie, which appear to be exposed nipples visible through the hoodie fabric. The right panel is captioned 'But that's my overalls', where the same woman pulls open her hoodie to reveal that the bumps are actually the metal buckles of light blue denim overalls she is wearing underneath. The woman takes a mirror selfie in both panels, with her face obscured by the phone she holds.

This meme features the simple drawn generic Wojak character sitting in tall grass, looking out over a body of water at a warm orange and purple sunset. The word "Man." is overlaid on the sky, conveying a quiet, weary yet relieved introspective feeling. It is paired with a caption celebrating finally securing employment after a difficult period of job searching, mixing genuine gratitude with lighthearted sarcasm directed at people who did not support the user, alongside the humorous acknowledgment that they now have to report to work the next day.

This meme uses an edited version of Jerry the mouse from the classic animated series *Tom and Jerry*. Jerry is shown propped on a purple bed, holding a smartphone with both hands, wearing a wired earbud in one of his large ears. He has heavy dark under-eye circles and half-lidded tired eyes, but still wears a faint content smile as he stares at his phone, perfectly visualizing the relatable common experience of intentionally staying up late after work to enjoy personal leisure time even when already exhausted from the workday.

This is a popular workplace reaction meme. The top of the image features text describing the scenario: 'At a work meeting, when they say "more than a company, we're a family"'. Below the text is a screencap from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants showing four characters all with bored, unimpressed, deadpan annoyed expressions. The meme humorously conveys the widespread cynical reaction most employees have to empty corporate platitudes that frame the company as a 'family', which are frequently used to justify demanding unpaid overtime, accepting low pay, or tolerating unfair treatment from employers.
