50 Times People Spotted Examples Of Sarcasm In The Workplace And Had To Snap A Photo
No matter how serious a company might look to outsiders, on the inside, you’ll always find someone subtly goofing about and having a laugh. Humor is an inseparable part of being a human being. So it makes sense that our desire for comedy, quips, and good old sarcasm doesn’t go away the moment we clock in.
Bored Panda has collected some of the most powerful photos of humor and sarcasm in the workplace, from all around the internet. From witty notes and funny printouts to hilarious posters, these pics are perfect for sending to your coworkers—preferably during their coffee breaks or right before they have an important deadline. Scroll down for your dose of workplace sarcasm and inspiration.
We got in touch with workplace expert Lynn Taylor, who was kind enough to share her thoughts about the importance of laughter when it comes to motivating staff, as well as the limits that should be placed on humor at work. Read on to find Bored Panda's full interview with Taylor, the author of the bestseller ‘Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant' and the host of a popular blog on Psychology Today.

My Office Held An Easter Egg Decorating Contest. I'm Not Artistically Inclined, So This Is What I Presented
A Master Thesis in Minimalistic Design, 2018
Medium: Egg
"As we stare into the blank abyss of whiteness that coats the egg's surface, we are forced to look deep into our own souls, to discover what the vast blankness represents to us. Yet we are also forced to imagine what is missing, what could be filling the blank space. It is our own creative conscious that is the masterpiece."

Dominik 3 years ago
"While it might sound like a laughable term, what's being dubbed as avocado hand is a very real injury from improperly cutting the fruit. In fact, emergency departments are seeing an increase in this type of wound, likely a result of the popularity of the superfood" (nm.org)

I don't know how to interpret this. Is it passive-aggressive a-holery?

Someone was really bored & downvoted a lot of (good/normal) comments under the posts. I've tried to upvote them again.

I always try to do that as well. No need to downvote inoffensive and innocuous opinions.. maybe they are running an experiment to prove one downvote on anything starts a trend?

We kidnapped our assistant director's gnome figurine a few years ago. Passed it along from dept to dept and took pictures. Hostage negotiations ensued. A ransom was paid in the form of donuts. I've never seen the AD laugh so hard.
