22 Employee Burnout Posts To Push You Through Your Late-Week Work Slump (December 5, 2025)

Employee burnout for many members of the workforce increases when we're nearing the holiday season. We're in the thick of it now, so you're probably exhausted, stressed, and looking for some way to alleviate the pressure of not only being a great employee, but also a great loved one.

If you're feeling a bit subpar, don't worry. We're all feeling some type of way. The holidays have a funny way of making it so that even though we know we should be enjoying the season, we can't, because we're too stressed about buying the perfect gift and hosting the perfect party. For those who somehow manage to exist stress-free in December, I'm going to have to take some pointers from you.

If you're dreading your work holiday party, just remember that you get to eat some free food and maybe, just maybe, receive the lamest White Elephant gift in human history. We just have to laugh at some things so we don't lose our minds. What do you do to unwind after a particularly stressful day at work in the thick of the holiday season? For us, we like to unwind with some funny memes on the website that knows them best. Scroll below.
