dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Not to mention the psychological pain of having to write out bizarre corporate-speak emails for hours on end:

Hi [such-and-such],

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I'm just checking in with you to follow up on our last discussion and the emails above with regards to your progress on [thing that's supposed to be your fucking job].

Per my last email I was hoping we would have this cleared away by last Friday as I am requiring it to be able to move ahead with [my job] in a timely manner, although I'm sure that you are already aware of this. I have reattached the related documents for your convenience.

Going forward, if you encounter any unforeseen delays in future please feel free to keep me apprised of the situation and to let me know where I might be of assistance.

Thanks in advance :)

If that shit makes you wince or gives you flashbacks, just imagine what it's like being autistic and how that would amplify the suffering - I can barely scrape by doing normal social interactions without adding an extra layer of complexity into the mix smh. (No wonder I went completely bonkers working a desk job...)

My God is that how Americans write emails ? I would go crazy if I had to write so much to say so little.

It varies between different office cultures and it's a bit of an exaggeration but it's also pretty plausible that you'd see something like this.

Although I should mention that I'm not an American, I just live in a Yankee running dog country but it's pretty much the same shit.
