50 Hilarious Memes About Office Life That You’ll Probably Want To Share With Your Coworkers
Work is a huge part of our lives, so it’s no wonder that people want it to be meaningful, lucrative, and—y’know—not have to spend a third of the day slaving away in a literal Misery Factory(™). Feeling underpaid, undervalued, utterly bored, and having to deal with awful managers is something that unites employees all around the globe. And there’s nothing like a bunch of good memes to prove that nobody’s ever in this alone.
That’s where the ‘Work Memes’ Facebook group comes in. The online community does exactly what it says on the tin and shares incredibly relatable memes about work. We’ve collected some of the best ones to share with you, so enjoy them on your third coffee break of the day or while you’re pretending to be productive while your boss is walking around the office (nobody’s judging you). Remember to forward the funniest memes to your coworkers—especially if it's during work hours. Trust us, they need a break.
We got in touch with workplace expert Lynn Taylor to ask her how to find the courage to look for another job and how to avoid focusing just on the negatives at work. Taylor is the author of the book ‘Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant’ and the head of the fashion brand ‘Behind the Buckle.’ Read on to see what she told Bored Panda.

I call fake. Surely HR is not looking into hiring, but into passing the work on to two other employees for a 1% raise & an inflated job title.
Alex Martin 2 years ago
I've lost three employees in the last decade. It's always incredibly difficult. You have to put your own feelings about this person on hold, help the people in your business deal with their own grief, and still run the business because the customers require you to do your job. You grieve in private and then a week later you start the interviews because the work still needs to get done. Please don't drink and drive, please see a doctor if you start having new kinds of pain especially in your chest, back, or head. Your position at work will be filled but the hole your absence leaves in the lives of the people who care about you will not.
Rick Seiden 2 years ago
I'd say it's a sign that life goes on, because it must. You can be crying yourself to sleep every night, but that position still needs to be filled, so you suck it up at work, mourn the loss of your coworker, and go post their job.
Siobhan Gournay 2 years ago
I think some are missing the point of this post. Of course nobody expects their employers to leave a position infilled or 'build a shrine' but it needs saying that there are many people, myself included, who have utterly devoted themselves to work ( I worked in social care) doing unpaid overtime, working in excess of 100 hours a week, surviving on 4 hours sleep an night, not taking any leave for any reason, dropping everything to cover absence, putting your heart and soul into your job and really not getting anything back from your employee and yes, being replaced without a backward glance when you've had a nervous breakdown through sheer overwork. Yep, it happened to me too. Now, I don't give an ounce more than I need to and I say 'no' with conviction when asked to do something outside of my remit. I actually found the original post quite poignant

What exactly did this person expect to happen? The company to build a shrine at the employee's old desk and to leave their position permanently vacant in their memory? It's a business, it needs employees, so yes they clean out the old desk and look to hire a replacement. And, yes, of course your family values you more than your employer. Who doesn't already know that? 🤦🏼♂️

But what are they supposed to do? Someone died. People mourned. Her family will take quite a while to recover. But there is a position to be filled. It may sound harsh, but it’s the truth. What would be the acceptable response for the OP?

While invaluable advice, this does not fall under the funny/jokes category. Don't make ma call shenanigans
Workplace expert Taylor told Bored Panda that leaving a job can be a stressful proposition. "You’ve invested a lot of time and energy into it, but now you realize it’s time to move to greener pastures." She gave us some advice on what employees can do to move forward if they feel like there are no alternatives out there for them.
"Take heart… You’re already halfway there by deciding to make the move. Many people languish in a state of inertia as they try to make big career or life changes. The employment market is strong and the talent shortage is pervasive. Fortunately, now is still a good time to explore opportunities," she said.
"Touch base with those you admire who have made career changes successfully. Finding a mentor is also helpful in your motivational level. Start networking activities in your professional network. You’re likely to discover just how marketable you are after getting feedback," the workplace expert said.

As part of my job, I once investigated the finding of a hypodermic needle in the bathroom trash of a big corporation. Did they have heroin users? Careless diabetics? Turns out it was a group of ladies from Mexico, who were illicitly giving each other vitamin shots as a heath thing.
Taylor also suggested creating a 'kudos file' of your achievements and reviewing it often. "This includes letters of commendation; complimentary emails from bosses, coworkers, clients, and outside colleagues; and a list of accomplishments and awards. Keep it updated. This will also help you prepare a powerful résumé, as you’ll be reminded of your skills and successes."
Meanwhile, you should study the going salaries for your position in the market. If you happen to find that you're underpaid, you'll "feel more empowered to move on." Taylor pointed out that life is not a dress rehearsal. "Having a job that’s familiar and routine may have given you a sense of comfort. But once you start envisioning your next career phase, it will make it easier to take the leap."

We also wanted to get the workplace expert's thoughts on constantly being mired in negativity at work. "It's easy to spiral downwards when you're frustrated with your job. Negativity can breed more negativity, but you can 'jam the system' of your repeated patterns with more positive thoughts and practices. Not always simple to do when some habits can die hard," the author of 'Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant' told Bored Panda.
"When you're mired in negativity, your work product suffers and your office life starts spilling into your private life. It's difficult to 'turn off' a bad job, boss or coworker who is making your life miserable. It's human nature to want to resolve these matters, and that often affects you after hours," she said. "The best antidote is to get into the driver's seat with some proactive steps. Create a document that outlines the problem, how and why it's affecting you. Then address the issue(s) with all the options. For example: Your 'terrible two' Boss is demanding too many projects within too short a timeframe. You have choices."
Here are some of your options going forward:
- "Ask for more time on the projects, e.g., in email or on a call.
- Have a candid talk with them about priorities and workload.
- Start sending more frequent and/or thorough status reports to your boss for greater understanding of your workload challenge.
- Ask if 'John' in your department can help out.
- Find out if the client or other parties can wait"
Taylor added: "Of course, if you're in an unbearable job you have many other choices, including new job avenues."

In my old job, I was the one drowning. And, as the meme suggests, it got me nowhere. Whereas, my (lazy) kiss-a*s colleague won an award for his "excellent service". I learned from my mistake, and while I still work hard, I make every effort to suck up to my seniors. It has gotten me recognition and a pay rise. Lesson: if you want to climb the ladder, play the game.

I literally did that once! Honesty is the best policy. I sent my boss a text that showed I was laying down with my dogs on my lap. I said I really wanted to stay with them that day. To my surprise, she simply said that if we could find someone to pick up the shift, that was fine. I didn't lie, I didn't make up some fake emergency, and my boss was more than willing to oblige. Good leaders should be willing to bend a little when good and reliable workers occasionally need a break.

The ‘Work Memes’ Facebook group was created at the height of the pandemic in November 2020, and has since amassed a huge following of meme-lovers from around the world. At the time of writing, nearly 564k Facebook users called the group their home.
The founder of the page notes that the focus of the group should be on work memes. However, not all memes have to be work-related. A few off-topic memes here and there are perfectly fine, but if the situation’s getting out of control, don’t be surprised if some of your more random posts end up being tidied up and removed.
The ‘Work Memes’ group has absolutely no tolerance for bullying and political posts and comments are not permitted. “We get enough politics crammed down our throat by the media. We do not need it here as well,” the founder writes.

Meanwhile, if you want to be an active and wholesome member of the community, try to “give more than you take to this group.” There’s no room for self-promotion and spam. But there’s a deep and abiding love for witty, silly, and relatable work memes.
As we’ve covered on Bored Panda very recently, there are a few things that can help memes go viral and have more longevity. Luck is one factor that we can’t control: there’s an element of randomness as to what content will end up being popular and what will be left by the wayside.
However, some of the things that content creators can control include what the format of the meme is like. For instance, memes that the audience can quickly read and understand are more likely to be successful. Surprising or making your audience happy is also a good way to ensure a meme’s popularity.

Meanwhile, how relatable people find a meme to be is absolutely essential to the content’s virality and long-term success. It’s natural that we ‘vibe’ with memes that resonate with us. They build on a sense of belonging and create a relationship between the content creator and all members of the audience.
However, behind all the hilarious, silly, and incredibly relatable memes lie some harsh truths about the workplace. Like burnout. Chronic exhaustion. Lack of growth. Quiet firing and quiet hiring. Unpaid overtime. Having to deal with poor management.

The fact of the matter is that you and you alone are responsible for what you’re willing to tolerate at work. Yes, you’ll likely run into unfair bosses, bad managers, lazy colleagues, and mind-numbingly huge workloads at some point—it’s practically impossible to avoid. However, you can control how you react to all of this.

One thing that you can do if you constantly find yourself dealing with unfair practices in the workplace is to raise the question with your supervisor, boss, or human resources rep. There is no substitute for diplomatic and open communication. Instead of suffering in silence, have a friendly but frank discussion about the issues that affect you every single day. Propose some solutions and look for a compromise that would make both sides happy. It takes real guts to be the one to shine the spotlight on the problems that everyone sees (but few actually address).

How can I tell this is a real dog but at the same time it looks like a sock puppet
However, you have to be honest with yourself about whether you’d actually be willing to stay at the company if things were to change for the better, like you want. It could be that you’ve simply outgrown the place. Or maybe the company’s values are completely at odds with your own and there’s no real future there at all. Or (and this is quite likely) management doesn’t want to consider any of your suggestions at all.
If that’s the case, you may want to consider looking for employment elsewhere. No, there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ workplace. But it’d be naive to think that every company is equally bad!

How do people manage to go out or meet friends after work? What happens to the housechores? Or do they earn enough to buy food/ meals every day so they don't use the kitchen? Are they out every day so the apartment just don't get messy because you are never there? To go out costs also money and energy. Hi do people this? I don't earn enough, o know that. So i have to spend every evening to cook and clean at least the used pans and lunchbox for the next day. Then there are barely two hours left to relax. Vacuuming and all other stuff I do mostly every other weekend.

I wonder this same thing every day. My day consists of get up, get dressed, drive 45 minutes to work, work all day gasping for air and praying there is not one hiccup that will throw me further behind, drive an hour to get home cus traffic sucks, eat dinner, make lunch for tomorrow, and go to bed. Rinse and repeat 4 more times. Then I have 2 days to get ALL the other stuff done.

It's that "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" conundrum. Being able to stay in bed all day seems like an impossible dream to the work-weary, while being able to get up and go out to work seems an impossible dream to the bedridden. I'm actually stuck in the middle here; I ended up with the worst of both worlds, having a number of very debilitating chronic illnesses and yet still having to work just to keep body and soul together. So I understand both sides of the argument.

Although I have been here (yes, I am at work doing this) the longest (excepting the lead surgeon) and am the oldest in the team, I have chosen not to accept promotions to leadership because I like the flexibility of a less-than-full-time-most-weeks schedule. Instead, I learn everything about every position I can (I love to learn and when you stop learning, you die) and do my job exceedingly well, keep an open mind when it comes to what needs to be done and I demonstrate respect where it is due. Those few simple tasks have made me a valuable employee who can be depended on but not taken advantage of. That allows me to speak up when something is good OR bad. And I do in an effort to improve the workplace for everyone.

Had a closing manager arrive 5 hours late because her car couldn't handle snow and all her buses got stuck due to stranded cars. Our boss got mad and said he'll give any and all employees a ride if they worry about missing work and they need only call so he stayed an extra 8 hours giving rides throughout the day. He later paid us all extra for the snow days since we worked to keep as stocked as possible amidst the panic (this area is unused to snow so even our trucks were blocked by stranded vehicles). We weren't punished for being later 🤣

There was an 18 wheeler pipe truck overturned and it took about 4 hours to clean up and about 10 miles or more traffic backed up behind me! By the time I made it to a phone and called. He said just take the rest of the day off and go home. We saw you standing by your truck stuck on I-45!

Depends, where I work you need to extend work for whatever time you were late, if it is more than 10min. Like, if I work 08:00 to 16:00 and am 15min late, I have to work till 16:15. But if it is less than 10min, then you are fine. Otherwise whole hour doesn't count and you have to work that extra hour off on same or some other day.

I am 64 years old never finished 9th grade self employed most of my life. Did my military time 4 years, self employed after that. I get paid 20+ a month. Never counted on anybody but my self to make money 💰 🤑

Continued... I was kicked out of school, went out and knocked on doors and asked what can I do for you today? Wash your car? Pick up dog poo? Clean your garage? Anything you want. I'll do it! Joined the Navy, got out, started knocking on doors again, started a painting company and did very well for myself. My Advice. Stay away from drugs and alcohol and make something of YOURSELF! Don't count on anyone doing it for you. No one cares about you, you get a job to make money for someone else. I have had hundreds of employees 2 I helped get started on there own. You are worth doing it yourself, take the risk and do it!

I am feeling very thankful that I can relate to these, but in retrospect (#48 aside). Work live, don't live to work, and make sure you know your rights and options available to you.

Work is a scam. And every one of us came from parents who spent all their time thinking of the goofy names and cute, tiny clothes they were gonna give us, and none of their time thinking about the 50 years of BS they were dooming us to
