  1. very funny got me through the day with something to think about other than the retarded people that i work with

  2. I’m glad you liked it. My personal favorite is number 4!

    And I’m sorry to hear about the jerks in your company. In my experience most people are really nice, but once in a while you get a higher-than-average concentration of not-so-nice people in one place.

    I think it’s because misery attracts company, and it sucks to be stuck there!

  3. OMG! I laughed until I cried reading these, then I had to show my co-workers. These are fantastic! I’m going to be doing a presentation on “How to Work with Difficult People” and I will definitely be citing your web site and I’m going to buy your book. If it’s anything like your website I’m going to need a box of kleenex for when I read it and the tissues won’t be for tears of sadness, but for tears of humor. = D

    Thanks Alexander for showing the flip side of working 9 to 5.

  4. Hi Alexander,
    Just surfed in and found these demotivators.
    I’d love to share these with my readers at:
    http://www.motivationalcartoons.co.uk
    I usually go for motivators on my blog – but these are really funny!
    I tried the ‘share this’ but couldn’t get it to work.
    Can I copy and paste these and then add a link back here?
    Best wishes,
    Richard

  5. No.12 really cracked me up. And it’s so true too. It’s my fb status now (after 3-4 months with no update).

  6. Number 3 without question my absolute favourite! Love it regards “Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security”. I have seen in so many workplaces I have been in that it is the ones who get the work wrong all the time who, not only get the job security BUT they also are the ones who always seem to get promoted!!!! Probably as they always seem to be busy to the bosses?!
