That's 5 of the 6 memes posted in that timespan.
1 and 3 are pretty directly political lol
I don't think "I don't like my job" is politically divisive. You don't really get people up in arms about it unless you're complaining about capitalism or work in general. Even boomers have their "I'd rather be fishing" meme about it.
This is absolutely a political statement. Your work and conditions are political and can be changed only through seizing control and unionization, both political actions.
