'It's Friday, do you know where your employees are?': A beautiful half-day of "Summer Friday" memes to wrap up the work week

Are you ready for summer Fridays at work?

If you are lucky enough to get this little thing called "Summer Fridays" at work, then bravo! That is an iconic work move. In fact, I would argue that that's what will boost productivity and enhance teamwork. If you don't know what that is, it is when you are allowed to leave work early on Fridays during the entire summer. Why? Because some bosses aren't monsters and they want you to enjoy the beautiful weather while you can, instead of keeping you locked up in a cold and dark office building all day. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, remember? Nothing is worse than staring out the window from your desk daydreaming all day about how you could be having a picnic or be lounging by the pool. Obviously, you're not going to get any work done if that just stays a dream. But if you are allowed to go enjoy your summer days and live out those daydreams, then you will work harder and faster so you can achieve those dreams sooner.

Are you scrolling through these memes on a Friday when you have Summer Fridays? Well, heck, get back to work so you can finish up and gtfo out of that dang office. Are you scrolling through these memes during any other day of the work week? Well, then, proceed. We always encourage memeing on the company's dime.

Oh man, when that sunlight kisses your skin, and that warm breeze goes through your hair, you start to wonder why you even live in a capitalistic society. I mean, I wonder that every day I wake up grumpy to an annoying alarm… But the sun makes all my worries sizzle away. And if you get me on a sandy beach? I'm cured, bestie! I'm cured. You're going to get the best employee you have ever done seen.

Let's meme until we are able to get out and enjoy the sun. Wanting to go to the beach or play some kickball with your friends should be acceptable excuses to call out of work, imo. Until then, say it with me: we meme on the company's dime!
