Working a job is not a pleasant experience. Unless you are extremely fortunate and have found a job that allows you to pursue your passion, it is not something that motivates you to get up early in the morning. As we grow older and begin our first jobs, we may discover that we have a lot of passion. However, it will gradually fade as things that used to bring joy become monotonous.
This is exactly what happened to me, and then burnout sets in. The cause is usually either a rude boss or extreme stress. Sometimes it’s because your coworkers are cruel to you, and you feel like you’re back in high school, complete with cliques. So it’s no surprise that when we discovered this Instagram page called “Employee Tears,” we couldn’t get enough of it.
So, if you’re looking for something amusing and relatable, we’ve got just the thing for you. Scroll down to see for yourself, and try not to cry when you realise how true most of these “jokes” are.

#3 Anyone who works in the service industry will feel this pain.
#4 That does not make me feel better at all.
#5 And a pay raise is out of the question.
If you keep doing a job efficiently, managers will just keep adding more tasks to your already long list of duties.

#10 They think they know but they really don’t know a thing.
#11 This is how most employees get to remain sane till the end of their shift.
#12 This is actually very good advice.
#13 There are only these two modes and no in-between.
#14 Don’t they know that it is just a polite thing to say?
It pains me when people actually take you up on it and then you have to smile and go along.

#15 Is that really a good question?
#16 It is better to be straight-up aggressive at time.
#17 Your co-workers are not your family unless it is actually a family business and even then.
#18 How do people remember all their passwords these days anyway?
I would not even be logged into this site if I didn't have all my passwords stored somewhere.

#19 This is the new height of laziness.
They just want to show off the power they have over their employees.

#20 Now that is the sort of person I want as a co-worker.
There is no reason not to know what other people are earning.
