“Work Sucks, Let’s Laugh About It”: 40 Relatable Work Memes
If you’re lucky enough to work with colleagues you like, the office can feel like a place where you’re paid to hang out with your friends, eat snacks and work on projects of common interest. But some days can be tough even in the best work cultures, and we all have those off moods when we just don’t feel like doing anything as Bruno Mars once sang.
The Instagram account, “Work Memes Official” has some fun posts that anyone with a job can relate to. So scroll below for a humorous collection of clever epithets by some extraordinarily witty folks. These meme creators cleverly manage to convey what we all feel in some measure through their succinct observations and it is absolute comedy gold.

Lee (edited): No. How about we take some of those productivity gains technology has given us, and instead of it making more profit for the 1%, it gives us all better work life balance. Let’s move to a four day work week and/or 6 hour days instead of 8. Let’s not set rigid “must be a morning person” hours to any of that.

Aileen Grist: Yep questions like do you take milk – no I’m. vegan. Would you like. biscuit – are they vegan? Would you like a cake/chip/ most anything going round in an office. You can take something and just throw it in the bin – and they get upset. You can just say ‘no thanks’ and you’ll be asked why not. Can’t win really.
