Work Memes to Survive the Office Grind

Thunder Dungeon is the internet’s therapy couch for everyone working for the weekend. Our editors know that work memes are the glue holding modern employees together, from exhausted retail warriors to coffee-fueled office introverts. We collect the wildest, weirdest, and most painfully true memes about work because let’s face it—sometimes the only thing that keeps us logging in is the promise of a fresh meme at 2 p.m.

My own work history is a meme itself: I’ve clocked in at call centers, slung lattes, survived open offices, and once attended a “mandatory fun” Zoom party. The universal struggle is real, and nothing cuts through work stress like a meme about pointless emails or the mysterious disappearance of pens. Office memes, coworker jokes, and productivity fails are always trending because everyone—from interns to CEOs—needs a laugh about spreadsheets that won’t die or managers who communicate only in exclamation points. In the past year, work-from-home memes have exploded, with Slack gaffes and cat Zoom bombs now essential office lore. So let's get into some work memes.
