Typing away on your keyboard in an air-conditioned office with beanbags, free coffee, and table football might not be as difficult as working in a factory, a mine, or putting out literal fires, but it’s not without its own challenges.

Office life can be a jungle where only the fittest survive the emotional and mental burnout, backstabbing politics, and water cooler small talk. But it’s also full to the brim with camaraderie, hilarious jokes, and more memes than you can shake a stick at.

The ‘Office Struggles’ Instagram page does exactly what it says on the tin: it provides your daily serving of office-related memes and struggles that anyone who’s ever worked at a cubicle will most likely recognize in a heartbeat. Scroll down for some great humor, upvote your fave pics, and remember to share these memes with all of your office-working pals.

    Every f*king day at my last job... like seriously, the decision makers had NO clue. We would tell them "it doesn't do that" and "that's not how it works" and "that WILL break, almost immediately, and take other things down with it" and always, ALWAYS, it was "too bad, that's what we decided to go with"... and without fail, every f*king time, it goes exactly like we told them it would and then they blame us and force us to make it work anyway. I am SO glad I got out of that s*thole.

    Great statement. Some people think I'm weird or slightly r******d because when asked a question I often take 2 or 3 seconds to proceed and respond correctly. They prefer to rush and say the first b******t that goes through their head.

    Since the pandemic, I've been 100% WFH. Sometimes I spend all day in my pyjamas and slippers. If someone tries to slide in a quick Zoom call, I have to suggest an hour later so I can get showered and dressed, and put make up on. Today for example; it's now11.40 and I have a Zoom meeting at 13.00. I've been dressed for 10 mins.
