27 Relatable Work Memes to Distract You from Performance Review Season

The end of the year in the corporate world is full of holiday cheer (whether it's forced or not) and mild panic. Half the team is out using up their PTO before the New Year, while the rest of us are trying to make up for their absence while pretending to care about the work holiday party. Between the buzz of what Secret Santa gift you're getting this year, questionable holiday-themed potluck contributions, and wearing your coat inside the office while you struggle to defrost from the outside world, there's also the dreaded elephant in the room. It's performance review season.

Yep, it's that time of year when your manager suddenly remembers every email you didn't reply to in a "timely manner", and you're tasked with making your end-of-year reports look way more impressive than they actually are. And who can forget about the awkward self-evaluations you'll have to give in your next 1:1 with your supervisor. But instead of stressing about whether you hit all your KPIs this year, take a little break. These 27 relatable work memes are here to distract you from the madness and keep you laughing until the holidays officially begin.
