Every job has its unique quirks. However, some problems are common, no matter what your industry is. Problematic clients. Arrogant coworkers. Inefficient management. Chronic burnout. You name it! And consultant work is no different.

That’s where the popular ‘Consulting Comedy’ social media project comes in. The team running it is all about spreading comedy and ‘workplace chuckles.’ It shares some truly hilarious memes about what it’s like to work as a consultant. It’s very relatable, even if you’re a different sort of professional, because it deals with familiar themes, from burnout to having an awful work-life balance.

Scroll down to check out the funniest pics, and don’t forget to upvote the ones you enjoyed the most.

Bored Panda reached out to the team behind the viral 'Consulting Comedy' project, and the founder of the project was kind enough to answer our questions. You'll find our interview with them below.

    If it's information you're meant to keep confidential, then the onus is on you to do so, not everyone else you decide to tell. I once worked on a criminal investigation where we were under an actual gag order and I had friends and family who pestered me for details and swore they wouldn't tell. I had to point out to them that *I* was responsible for not talking about it and if I didn't, I could go to jail. Keeping it confidential was my job, not theirs.

    For those who don't know, ESG means "Environmental Social and Governance". Basically a way to strategize in corporate choices, weighing into financial decisions the resulting advantages on pollution reduction and community improvement as if they were monetary gains.
