Office Job Expectation vs Reality: Your Closest Colleague Is the Canon Copier

Description

A two-panel 'Expectation vs Reality' meme. Left panel, labeled 'Expectation': a glossy corporate photo of a confident, smiling businesswoman in a black suit standing with arms crossed in a modern office with dramatic lighting. Right panel, labeled 'Reality': a sterile stock photo of a large white Canon multifunction office printer/copier standing in an empty open-plan office next to ergonomic chairs, desks, and binders on a shelf. The joke contrasts glamorous expectations of office life (or of 'working with a hot new model') against the mundane reality where the most intimate working relationship you develop is with the perpetually jammed enterprise printer

The real office relationship is with a stateful peripheral that ghosts you while still answering ping.

  Printers are devices to remotely rape your customers or something I guess. I shall look for where the funny is

  The guy lied about being raped when he didn't get "millions" on leaving company without a scene. A story with AI slop included 👌

  Still too short to really get into the problem. Do you have an article or smth? Although descriptive enough to understand the meme, thank you
