Going to work for many is becoming like going to school when we were kids: fewer and fewer people are excited to do it. In a 2024 poll, 12% of all Americans said they were not satisfied with their jobs. And while going to work may not make them cry per se, they're still hardly happy.




There's a page on Instagram called Employee Tears that collects relatable memes about what it's like to not like your job very much. "My dream job is not having one," they proclaim in their bio. If you feel the same, check out the funniest pics from their account that might make you cry – but, hopefully, not out of sadness.

To know more about how we can deal with excessive stress at work, Bored Panda reached out to a trauma and relationship therapist, Ioana Rotaru. She told us how people can differentiate between normal work-related stress and burnout, how to create better boundaries between work and personal life, and she gave our Pandas some self-care tips. Read her expert insights below!

He elaborated: “A few years earlier, I was playing drums in a band, but the creativity was always shared between the o...

 parler The page may contain loads of animals photographed from weird angles or captured in some  compromising positions , but there are also pics of them acting weirder than we would expect. In fact, animals do some pretty strange things, and I'm not just talking about your dog giving you the side-eye. For example, did you know that sloths, who spend most of their waking time up in the trees, go to relieve themselves on the ground? And how about the fact that owls can't move their eyes? Let's explore these and more interesting things that  animals  do that we might find at least a tad strange. g The fact that sloths  go down to the ground to poop  is strange for at least two reasons. First, there are more predators down there, so the trip to take a poop only can be quite dangerous. Second, sloths have very slow metabolisms and only eat leaves, so they use up a lot of energy by going down to the rainforest ground

And when they do, they might get carried away with their tools, usually resulting in pics that are worse than the original. If you’ve seen some of such examples of editing-gone-wrong, you probably know that they can look quite creepy. They can also be  hilarious . Today you get to judge which are which for yourself, as on the list below we have gathered quite a few examples of people overediting their pictures.
