Office coworkers are a whole different category of human beings. You know many intimate details and embarrassing stories about these people, but after 5 o’clock strikes, you pretend you don't even know each other. You spend more time with these people than your significant other but rarely invite them to hang out. They’re also the same human beings that make your workplace bearable and are the best material for funny work memes.

If you aren't working from your couch wearing your PJs (that means if you’re not a freelancer), you know that having coworkers can be good and bad. One day, you feel as if they are your work besties; the next day, you hate even hearing them breathe. But since your funny coworkers often make your job lively, it’s time to return the favor.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of awesome coworker memes that perfectly describe what it’s like to work with other people. Send these to your colleagues as soon as you finish scrolling so that they can also laugh. Don’t forget to upvote your favorite work memes while you’re at it!

I've always laughed at movies that show the parents get up in the morning, cook breakfast, read the newspaper, make lunch for the kids, have a shower, have breakfast, travel to work and still be on time for work. Like- how? Do they get up in 4 in the morning?

What Is a Work Bestie and Why Are They Important?

Just as you saw in this work best friend meme, you’ll notice that a work bestie is someone who makes your job enjoyable. A 2020 Gallup poll found that people with a best friend at work are twice as likely to enjoy their work and report higher social well-being. This is because you can share a lot with your best work friend. 

They provide a space for you to vent or make jokes. Since you both connect well, you can also plan to hang out with them outside of work. Whether you’re taking coffee breaks or struggling through a boring meeting, your work best friend is likely by your side. Share these hilarious work memes with your favorite coworker and gossip about which one is the best coworker meme.
