Many workplaces love to peddle the narrative that they're one big "family." That's how they justify stealing so much of your time, while paying you so little. Where else but the Thanksgiving dinner table are you forced to spend so much time with people you'd never otherwise choose to see?

Things like "happy hours" and "potlucks" are lame misdirections to try and trick coworkers into being friends, but the only real work friends come from partners in crime who will trash talk the company behind its back with equal fervor to you.

The truth is, we're all slaves to the same capitalist overlords, so you might as well spend your time on the clock scrolling through these relatable work memes that will take you right into Friday. For once you'll be getting paid for doing something you enjoy.
