Sweaty, shivering, and disoriented, you jump out of your bed, having just dreamt that it is Monday, you’re late to work, and you are missing a conference meeting. Your pants are nowhere to be seen, your hair is one huge cowlick, and your cat desecrated your favorite shoes. What’s worse, you just came to the sense that all of this is really happening, and you, in fact, are late for work, and it is, in fact, a Monday. Waking up to such an ordeal is no one’s dream for sure, but we’ve all been there in our dragging years of being working adults. Except for the lucky few, the workplace isn’t usually a fun place to be, and dreams about it are exactly like this, and the only thing that could make it better are, without a doubt, work jokes. However, thinking of it, reading jokes during your work hours might not be the best idea sometimes, but hey, we all need that sweet, sweet comedic relief in our day! So, here we are, presenting to you our collection of only the best work jokes that we could find.
These silly jokes, besides already being inherently funny and relatable, will also shed light on such things as horrible bosses, the real meaning of the word workstation, and our favorite topic - all the things corporate. So, you should expect to feel seen by these jokes while getting your portion of the giggles. Not that bad, right? And while these workplace jokes might not make your daily routine bearable, they will definitely amuse you, and that’s almost as good!
See if your boss isn’t around right now, and scroll straight to our list of funny work jokes. Once you are there, give the best ones your vote, and either read them out loud to your colleagues or share the whole article with them!
