If you’re lucky, a global pandemic has meant you shifted to working from home quite literally overnight back in March 2020 and for all intents and purposes have had a seamless transition. While lauded essential workers and first responders have continued to go into work throughout quarantine, most of us are still in our comfiest loungewear and leggings, sitting braless at the dining room table, logging in to yet another video work call nearly two years after the outbreak. Nobody was prepared for entire industries to shift to remote work, but we have learned a thing or two from the experience. First, employees are just as, if not more, productive from home as they are at the office — especially now that remote learning is waning and kids are back in school. Second, our hunch was right: There were way too many meetings that could have just been emails or Slack chats. (Just think of how many useless meetings Michael Scott called on The Office!) And finally, humor can get us through difficult times, and true friendships — even if it’s just with a work bae — can thrive over chat and group texts! If sending work-from-home memes and jokes is your love language, you’ve come to the right place.

But before we get into the humor bit, here are some important work from home statistics from the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at the University of Chicago you can also share with friends:

  • 10,000 employees surveyed said they thought they were just as productive working from home compared to working in the office. Thirty percent said they were more productive.
  • The survey team calculated commuting time was reduced by 62.4 million hours per day with an accumulated time savings of over nine billion hours between the middle of March 2020 and the middle of September 2020.

Another work from home survey by Owl labs found:

  • Remote employees save an average of 40 minutes daily from commuting.
  • During COVID-19, nearly 70 percent of full-time workers are working from home.
  • 23 percent of workers surveyed said they would take a 10 percent pay cut to work from home for good.
  • People are saving an average of nearly $6000 per year by working from home.

Alright, back to the fun! We rounded up the best and most on-the-nose work-from-home memes and jokes to get you through that 3 pm Zoom call and have you laughing all the way to your weekend. Share them in the Slack group chat and make it rain memes.
