A wise man once said that folks should take as many bathroom breaks as they possibly can so that companies would be paying them for pretty much pooping all the time and not actually getting work done.

That wise man was I Prevail vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe, for those wondering.

But you gotta admit—that is some pure anti-work sentiment right there. Absolutely in line with scrolling through work memes, like the ones you can witness on Corporate Bish, an Instagram Page that provides a spot-on representation of how many of us feel about and experience work.

#3 That Wasn’t Me…

If any of this sounds or looks familiar, it’s because it should be. Bored Panda has covered the page in the past.

The Instagram page came about by chance, you can say. The creator randomly came across some work-related memes and it inspired her to create her own Instagram page. One that soon blew up.

#6 Going To Start Sacrificing Food And Shelter

The idea behind the page was for the creator to share her thoughts, experience, and to vent about things in meme form. It didn’t take long for her to realize how relatable her content was and the page took off. In just one year, the community grew to 100,000 people, and as of this listicle, it stands at nearly 650,000. That’s since July of 2021, mind you.

The page was somewhat of a transformational experience for her. As it grew, she understood that people from various industries tuned in to have a laugh, urging her to create a wider variety of content.

It turned out that her work experience was more universal than she had originally thought. So, it was only natural for the content to evolve and become better fitted for the workforce in general—and not just her own industry in finance.

At this point, Bored Panda has covered quite a number of work-related meme pages ([Screw] Work Memes, Work Problems, and another iteration of the first one) and discussed a variety of related topics along the way (why people hate work, how people can stop hating it, and how to rekindle your passion for work.)

So, let’s take a bit of a different approach and consider how memes can change the world.

It’s important to note that it’s no longer a question of can but rather of how memes can change the world. Or so the National Institute of Technology in Agartala claims to be the case.

On the internet, humor has become a form of self-expression and education due to the internet’s notorious nature to foster discussion in every sense of the word.

#17 Gotta Calm Down I Guess

And humor, in many cases, on the internet is expressed in memes. They are, after all, one of the easiest and most readily available forms of doing so out there. Who knew a mostly square-cropped image can make folks laugh, cry, and—this is where it gets interesting—shape our opinion on things. Yep, you read that correctly, memes can influence how we think and operate by creating a popular opinion and making it feel like it’s the right choice.

The NIT exemplified this by referencing the 2016 and 2020 US Presidential elections. In 2016, whenever the margin of votes became significantly in favor of one candidate, contradicting memes would immediately start popping up. And the memes practically facilitated how the public opinion was formed and swayed it to vote Republican.

#23 I Surprise Myself

#24 Trying My Hardest But Can’t Make No Promises

And while most can’t say the same about the 2020 election, memes still had an impact, albeit in a bit of a different form. That year, the Democrats won the Presidential race. And while the public already saw the performance of the previous President and based their decision on that, the memes served a purpose of expressing opinions of the pre-existing disappointment.

#26 It’s A Part Time Job

#27 Great, Why Don’t You Call Me And Write Me A Letter Too

And because this is the internet, there are memes about practically everything and hence they have a say in forming people’s opinions on all relevant things.

Memes might seem like lighthearted jokes, but their overall message still adds to creating a popular opinion, and in turn influencing you to take a stance as well.
