Being lazy on the job is something every single worker has experienced. No matter how good of a worker you are, or even how much you love your job, everyone has downtime in which they simply need to be a little lazy.

There are actual studies that show that out of the 8 hours a day that people work, the average amount of time workers actually get work done is 3 hours. This means that 5 hours of those 8 are for workers to simply idle by, scroll on their phones, or stare into the abyss. Hopefully, this information will help you feel a little bit better about your level of productivity, or maybe it will get you to work less, and honestly, both are a win for us.

Something you could do on those 5 lazy hours, is scroll through memes on your phone. And what memes could be better than lazy worker memes? Scroll down to enjoy a collection of those. After you are done, click here for a story of a boss trying to earn social approval by mocking his employees.
