It's official: the last quarter of 2025 is within striking distance, and we are a few short months away from wrapping up another twelve months of spending a chunk of our time increasing shareholder value. Before we know it, we will be taking a long, hard look at a year filled with all the ups and downs that come with existing in the workplace, wondering where all the time (and failed projects) went.

Even for those who enjoy their jobs, it is no secret that work can occasionally be a slog. That is why the genre of work memes is here, to offer some relief while also allowing us the delusion that we are kind of doing something work-related while we procrastinate. They are the perfect way to share our woes about the working world, while also giving us the opportunity to put a smile on our faces as we recognize this plight.
