50 Of The Funniest Work Memes To Share With Your Buds At The Water Cooler

They get what they deserve.

This is too on point. This should be higher on the list.

The "boring" and "pointless" lives that book characters go on quests to avoid are all lives I want

Left out the (micro)managers.

Agreed, I hate having to share irrelevant personal info about myself just because it's "polite" or "social" or "a basic part of society / human interaction", especially because answering anything other than "good" to "how was [thing]" will often start an unskippable cutscene of follow-up questions

I remember a bar I managed when I hit 35 😂 my 19-25 yr old staff took me to holy moley golf and I had maybe two or three cocktails (I don’t drink), aparently I drank with the youngings in another bar after and I don’t remember how I got home and I had so much trouble working the next day. It just can’t be done. I used to rock up to shifts when I was young on acid still and function well 😂 alcohol killed me

🤣🙋‍♀️

... is that John Daly?

Yes, these are the people I want to rise to the top and lead the way.

Nah, that's the watch just sensing you before you even put it on

Isn't it funny how the next generation always seems to be disenfranchised? Remember how the boomers became hippies? And before them the silent generation became beatniks? And now it's gen z "following their passion". Seems lik e gen x was the only one that battened down the hatches and did the work.😐

I bring a sort of attitude of "We tried doing it that way 15 years ago, and it didn't work. Then we tried it again 12 years ago, and it didn't work. Then we tried it 8 years ago, and it didn't work. Why the ever-loving F*** are you telling me we have to do it that way AGAIN??" that supervisors really don't like.

Why contemplate. It’s always zero unless you are going to swear at someone.

Oh no we want those tampons are you kidding me? Those things are fücking expensive.

"Work was more fun when I could wear my pyjama pants and have a cat on my lap" - my mum

They forgot laying in bed watching Netflix.

I got a test phishing email today, something about changing my bank account. I thought it was pretty funny. I forwarded to the HR guy and commented that it wasn't a very believable test.

Why are they staring directly into the Sun as it explodes

OMG I've got one of those bosses who is always just overwhelmed. But he also spends hours every day chatting about non-work-related things with certain coworkers who also have incredibly poor time-management skills. So the other day he comes over to my workstation and tells me all the things we need to start doing for a certain project, and I keep trying to interject, but he won't let me interrupt for like 3 minutes until he finishes -- at which point I tell him that all the things he asked me to do were already done that morning, and "I _think_ you were CC'd on those emails, but maybe not..." (He definitely was.)

Yup.

And the job you interviewed for didn't pan out..

Ate Taco Bell the night before, I'm assuming?

To be fair, free work coffee is a core foundation of my mental health. Free pizza would also go a long way. (Of course, the best mental health well-being would be getting paid what I'm actually worth, but sometimes we take what we can get.)

Every time I see this picture, I can’t help but think that Cillian Murphy needs to star in a David Byrne biopic.

I think I'm that "one annoying co-worker".. sorry to everyone who agrees with this post 👍

Captain Planet!!!! 🌎 💙

I often say that I read and write emails for a living.

That got deep and dark reeeeaal quick

The purple & sky-blue slices should be much bigger

Or, as the person answering the phone when I called in "I'm calling in tired" after 3 weeks with no days off. "You can't DO that".."Just write it down"...my boss laughed the next day.

It looks tempting but I'm only five feet tall. I'd have to elbow someone in the knee

I'm GenX and relate all too well.

Yeh they don't get that I collaborate better from afar. Forced interaction makes me retreat inside myself

I didn't come here to get attacked like this

Oh, well. Too bad, so sad. /s

I'm kinda old. When Windows first came out a friend was working for a company that insisted on installing it on all their machines. Unfortunately none of the computers had mice. For 6 months they ran Windows without a mouse. Even now he still does a lot of Windows navigation with keyboard shortcuts - and is faster than I am with the mouse.

My plant manager expected everyone in leadership to be connected to the plant 24/7 via Teams, no exceptions unless you were on planned pto. And even then he required you to notify him that you would not be replying while you were off.

My history teacher when I accidentally use - instead of — one time

People like that keep people like me employed. Let ‘em nitpick all they want. (I’m an editor.)

Thank you for some of the ideas 🙏

Looks like a federal government break room.

I excel at breaking Excel.

Yesssss! My bedtime is much earlier tho

I am doing a thing where I'm assigning everyone at work their own job profile number. Every job profile comes with a list of everything they should have access to, every email group they should be a part of, all software/websites they'll need, that jobs profiles home page on the company site that contains everything tey need to do their job, so when we hire or people switch jobs or they exit, I'm automating all the switches.

Like the single co-worker complaining to me about pay being too low after burning a no pay sick day and going to the casino.. to me, a head of household with 2 kids who works all the OT he can get..."Yes, it's very difficult".
