If you feel stressed in your workplace, humor can help minimize it, especially when you can view the problems you face from a different perspective. This Facebook group, which is known for finding cringy LinkedIn posts, is the place to go when you are looking for that kind of comfort.
In a previous post, Bored Panda got in touch with the Facebook group’s admin Victoria Zhong, who shared that this is “a place where people can use humor to discuss or vent about frustrations they have about work or finding work.”
This and other online communities that share work-related memes can provide a sense of belonging. Especially when nowadays the internet is full of posts that try to spin mundane events into fables with some lessons when in reality, that's not how it works.
Constant exposure to idealized professional success can have a negative impact on self-esteem and job satisfaction. Therefore, keeping in touch with reality and people who think alike is important for your mental health, as well.
Besides the laughable advice and inspirational posts, we can also find the ones that resonate with us on the deepest level. One example is such as requesting to get a rejection email from a company you have been applying to as opposed to ghosting. This and other similar topics regarding a more positive work culture should be more approachable as they relieve tension around them.
All in all, if sometimes we can’t change our workplace despite how far away from the ideal match it can be, we always can find a community that helps to relieve that stress and change our perception for the better.
