35 Funny Boss Memes You Won’t Have To Pretend To Laugh At Like You Do Your Boss’ Jokes

Mondays are already brutal. I love when my boss asks if I have “a quick second” and then proceeds to explain how to do the job I’ve already been doing for three years. Or when they send an all-staff email at 4:59 PM on a Friday titled “quick note” and it’s anything but quick.

Look, I’m not saying all bosses are bad, but I am saying that if yours has ever said “let’s circle back,” you probably need this post. These boss memes capture the micromanaging, buzzword-spewing, PTO-denying madness that somehow counts as leadership.

Enjoy these funny boss memes while pretending to look busy. Your browser tab is safe with me.
