‘All I have are negative thoughts’: The best relatable work memes this week

With the endless slog of January finally over, we’re back to cruise control mode in the workplace.

Delights such as annual reviews and Q1 goal setting are just about behind us, and now there is day after day of the normal drudgery to look forward to as we try to hold out for the next long weekend. As the shortest month, February can fly by, which can make the daily boredom of having a full-time job feel a little less unmanageable. If you still have some motivation from those start-of-the-year pep talks, it might accelerate even faster.

Even when working a job that you somewhat like, it can feel difficult to have an attitude towards it other than wishing the hours away. We are often told that being present in the current moment is the best way to get the most out of life, but the urge to dissociate that comes with many types of work acts in the exact opposite way to that. Walk through your average office after lunch, and you will be able to count just how many people are totally zoned out while sitting at their desks.

It might not be exactly what your boss is hoping for, but one way to trick yourself into existing in the here and now is to seek out some work-related entertainment. Work memes are here to do that for us, and they have the added bonus of being a funny way to hash out our complaints about the workplace. You really can’t go wrong.
