1. The Invoice Approval Saga
The frustration of waiting for approvals can drive anyone mad – especially when other people are the ones causing unnecessary delays (hello invoice approvers!). This meme nails what it feels like to get blamed for the long turnaround time, despite doing everything in your power to streamline your AP processes.
