Almost every workplace is understaffed these days, leading to its employees being overworked, even though they don't get proper compensation for doing more than one job… it's enough to make anyone mad. If you call in sick, you know your boss is gonna make that face… not that you'd see it, but you would certainly know that it's happening. You can practically hear the grimace over the phone (or text, when they reply with a bitter 'feel well' because what are they gonna do?).

Work takes up so much time in our day… between 8-10 hours. That is a long time to be dealing with annoying coworkers, an irritating boss who never reads your emails, and to be feeling overall quite miserable. That's where procrastination comes into play — memes are a great pastime, especially if you're supposed to be working. They add a bit of much-needed serotonin to an otherwise dull and tiring day. So without further ado, scroll down and check out some of the best coworker/boss memes we've got for you today.
