As December winds down, work often falls into one of two extremes: either you’re pretending to look busy until the year wraps up, or you’re drowning in tasks and dreaming of quitting on the spot.
Whatever the case may be, we get it. That’s why we recommend taking a moment to scroll through some funny work memes. If you’re in the first group, it’ll give you something to do. If you’re in the second, it’s the perfect way to destress. Check them out below and enjoy a well-deserved laugh!

I used to get asked questions while I was still on the sidewalk outside the building.
As a teacher of 25 years, I was to say there were so such things as stupid questions. Uhhhhhh, not so!! For Example: This from a kinder girl. Why was Dalton born? He is a boy. From a 3rd grade boy during a Christmas Pageant: If momma was kissing Santa Claus there is gonna be a divorce and If I have to live with my dad it is going to be frozen pizza every night. How is that right?
How many times I was asked questions when I had just walked in and hadn't even removed my jacket. Too many to count. Glad I am retired now lol.
This was a lesson I learned the hard way after several events in my career/life collided. My Mom repeatedly told me to "keep my own counsel" I was in my mid 30's before it finally sank in. Everyone listening isn't looking out for your best interest. I had at least 4 former colleagues use events in my life to their benefit related to work.
Especially when, along with that badge of honor, they wear their disdain of people who can't do the same on their sleeve. Some people who do less are giving a greater percentage of what they have to give.
People should never know everything about you. How many personal problems you have isn't any coworkers concern. Go to work to earn a living, be nice and chat with coworkers but, keep it on light subject matters. Don't use anyone there as a therapist
And even if they are your friend, that's not why they show up at work.
I had to screenshot this one because the little old man driving looks just like my grandpa that passed several years ago.
This will be me in April. Except I'll still be in bed, carry on chaps you're welcome.
ALL OF YOU IDIOTS OWE ME A WALK AND A GAME OF FETCH OH I'M SICK OF THIS. SANDRA! FETCH ME MY TREATS AT ONCE!
I’ve had 5 managers and 3 directors (with that role currently vacant since they fired the last one) in the past 5 years. None of my coworkers have been there more than 3 years. I’ve been there 20 years. 👆this is my life.
I've gotten to the place where the unwritten, unspoken, dare is to fire me. They know it would be an absolute shitshow if they did. I don't insult them per se, but I definitely don't take anything from them. Plus I have several "Are you a dumbass" looks that get the message across.

I am not going to be micromanaged or talked to like I am a kindergartener anymore!! I am 60 friggin years old and deserve to be treated like the adult person I am, not a maggot on a fly on the di*k of a dog. I do great work. I am here on time and I bother no one. I do not ask for time off and I am rarely ill. I have been here for 19 years now. I guess suddenly my work is not good enough even though I take night classes and go to workshops and conventions many times a year to keep up with the latest trends. If you don't like it, fire me and I will take the unemployment insurance. Good Night!!
I had parents come in making a highly unreasonable request (demand, actually). When I refused, they said, "We're taking this to the principal!" I had to tell them "In that case, I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that he won't stand up to you. The bad news is that he won't stand up to me, either." (Or anybody else. His small children completely ignored him too.)
I had someone nearly stroke out on me by responding, calmly, "Do you really think volume contributes to accuracy?" Also, never raise your voice at work, people will strain to hear the calm word.
Accuracy is often not what people who yell are trying for.

My face when I’m talking to someone and another person keeps calling my name.
Hope you get consistent days off anyway. Worked somewhere, where you didn't know until the week prior. "Okay, so I need to take a vacation day for a doctor/dentist visit?"
Hotelier here, can vouch for that. But I got wed-thu day off so I'm good while they struggle with traffic jam.
I worked with a Nurse that was scheduled from 5:00 am to 1:00 pm. She typically showed up around 1:00 pm. Had to spend the entire morning getting her work covered by someone else. We worked for the State. State & Federal employees have to kill someone to be disciplined.
I miss you Kent..a Kent classic, "how are you?".."Adequate". I STILL use that one.
I despise sarcasm, and I have no respect and little tolerance for people who think it's an appropriate method of communication.
So true. Also when you quietly murmur "ook" and they understand perfectly.
The day when you have to pay all your s**t and hope you have enough left to survive the rest of the month.
You know this is actually true for some ppl! Not just for small/new companies where you know the actual top boss cus they work in the same office. But even some like 1000 + year old businesses that are now huge companies! There are traditions where the "boss" would adopt their best workers into their families as like 40+ year old adults XD to keep it in said family! It is not just the mafia that does it!
When you hear "We're family here!" run. Cause that means that they will take advantage of you with no compensation and will expect you to do things that are not your job. We are not family, this is work. I will not make cookies for your party. They also will expect you to not complain about things that are legitimate concerns, because why would you rat on your family? TOXIC. That is what it is.
Load More Replies...While training numerous new employees, most of them have said "I've got a dumb question". My reply was always "There's no such thing as a dumb question ". Eventually I was proven wrong.
They say, "good morning" and I respond "don't tell me what kind of morning to have" they would stay clear of me for the rest of the day
"I can't make my bills".."man, that sucks". Almost the same breath.."Yeah ditched work the other day to go to a boxing match"..."Ummmmm"
Yeah,till i paid my monthly stuff and realise i might need another job because i need another pay day to get over the month.😡
