10 Tweets About Work That are Right on the Money

Many of us have seen changes to our work situations lately.

More and more folks are doing their jobs from home, which is kinda nice as long as you’ve got a little space to dedicate to that sort of thing. Not super fun to be creating makeshift desks with your kids running circles around you and throwing play dough at each other or whatever it is that kids do.

Not that all the problems would go away if you were back in the traditional office, of course. No matter what form work takes, there’s always something to contend with.

It’s a strange thing, the world of employment – and nobody expresses that strangeness better than the people of Twitter.

10. Work it

There’s something very special and very weird at play here.

9. Going up

Best of luck, bro.

8. Give me a break

I don’t run so good as I used to.

7. Good morning

Can we not right now? Or like, ever?

6. Slap suits

Sir I would PAY you for this privilege.

5. Speedy delivery!

If I wait too long, maybe everyone will hate me.

4. Work it

My forehead? That’s hot.

3. On the flip side

The grass is always greener.

2. The silent treatment

You just stare blankly until you find yourself in bed wondering what just happened.

1. The nod

Being an employee isn’t all it’s quacked up to be.

Tweets that good almost make the rat race seem worthwhile. Especially that last one. I’d work with that duck for FREE.

What’s your work experience like?

Hilarious Tweets About Work You Can Read Instead of Actually Working

Jobs…

You go to school to get a job. You apply to get a job. You interview to get a job. You hope and pray and do a summoning dance to get that damn job. Then you get it, and you actually have to work.

They say “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. Do something you’re just kinda fine with and you’ll make funny tweets about it.”

Let’s look at some too-true tweets from the modern workforce. What else are we gonna do, work?

15. It’s called a day off, dammit!

14. Setting the right tone is important…

13. Aspirations change fast

12. Like I said…

11. I’d rather emails didn’t find me at all

10. I hope I’m contagious

9. Like a reverse Rebecca Black

8. It’s their fault I was up till 4 playing Zelda, right?!?

7. This cuddle could have been an email

6. These things take subtlety

5. Lord of the Fries

4. How dare you

3. This is how days get longer

2. Waking up is hard to do

1. As someone literally working from home right now, this!

What’s your favorite job you’ve ever had? What’s your least favorite?

Commiserate with us in the comments.

This Toilet Designed to Limit Worker Bathroom Breaks Might Be the Most Evil Office Invention of All Time

We all have those really long, seemingly endless days at work where we’ll do anything to get away for a few extra minutes. You know, the ones where you pray that the clock hits five as soon as possible. And sometimes that means spending a few extra minutes in the bathroom, contemplating life and checking all our social media.

Well, one company in the UK is looking to curb the breaks when you spend an extra few minutes (or 30) sitting on the john. To do so, they’ve invented the StandardToilet. It is a very real thing, and it is, in all honesty, evil.

Capitalism at its finest.

The toilet has a tilted design that is meant to make people very uncomfortable while sitting on it;  the hope is that workers will not spend as much time in the bathroom during business hours because of the toilet is a literal pain in the ass. Isn’t that nice?!?!

The StandardToilet has been approved by the British Toilet Association (sounds like a fun place to work), and it works by tilting downwards at a 13-degree angle. Apparently, that strains your legs and feels like an extended squat. The founder of StandardToilet, Mahabir Gill, said, “Anything higher than that would cause wider problems. Thirteen degrees is not too inconvenient, but you’d soon want to get off the seat quite quickly.” Thank you for that!

Gill worked as a consulting engineer for 40 years and became annoyed when he would discover workers asleep on toilets or encounter long lines for the bathroom while working. So the idea for the StandardToilet was born. Gill says, “Its main benefit is to the employers, not the employees. It saves the employer money.”

Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Isn’t capitalism the best?!?! Let’s hope and pray that this invention doesn’t make it to this side of the pond anytime soon. I know you need to catch up on your Netflix shows during your work breaks…
