A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

exactly what I don't get with capitalism. Why should I work faster and harder if my salary doesn't go up faster and I get more tasks?
They want you to work in advance and for you to ask them later with thorough explanation for justifying a raise. They'll decide later (end of the year) performance review or salary review.
I applied for an extra role at work last year. They were reluctant to give it to me "because I hadn't already been doing it" (for free)...shows that I'm not keen. Why the hell would I have done this before when I had any time or resource for it? They didn't have any other applicants so they gave it to me anyway.....but WTF
Happened to me more often than I can count. Always the same outcome: I work my normal speed, work gets done insanely fast, employers denies raise and points at me doing thigs for free, I stop working as far as I can legally get away with, employer needs to hire more people for the job I did before, I sabotage as much as I can, then leave.
In very rare occasions I got a little bit of extra money out of it but mostly i just learned a lot and switched jobs. went self employed later and did away with that shit.
but the system is a pile of shit, no matter your skills.
