35 Bleak Jokes You Will Feel In Your Bones If You Are A Working Class Adult With At Least One Job

by Chelsi

We've all accepted to some degree that working is a necessary part of survival. You turn 18, maybe go to college, and then you wake up one day with tons of bills to pay.

The solution: work until you can because it's too expensive to retire. Most of us work at least 40 hours a week with weekends to rest if we're lucky.

That is our foreseeable future until someone invents a better system or something. It's exhausting to work a full-time job and realize you still can't afford to live a decent life.

This is the kind of predicament that forces most of us to look for a second job and even a third one. Sadly, even the ones who pursue higher education are not paid nearly what they're worth and it's incredibly disappointing.

As if that's not bad enough, we have to deal with bosses who are determined to prove that even Lucifer has a family. These are the types of bosses who will find fault in everything you do and demand the most out of you while underpaying you.

Who needs cartoon villains when you have someone blowing up your phone on a day off, eh? Working with a terrible boss is a universal experience and everyone has painfully joked about it; here are some of them to give you war flashbacks:

I'm pretty sure our bodies aren't designed to seat 40 hours every week, staring at a computer screen. It's sadly the bleak reality for a majority of the population.

Working would be more bearable if our employers realize that we are the human beings who built them their wealth. It will be amazing once the working people realize we don't owe the so-called "job creators" any of our loyalty.
