35 Working from Home Memes every Remote Worker can relate to

Now that many of us are over a year deep in the work-from-home game, let’s take a look at the most relatable working from home memes for 2022. After all, we all need a little bit of (work from home) humour to deal with the very best and worst things around remote work.

35 Working from Home Memes every Remote Worker can relate to

Working from home: you either love it or you hate it, but for many of us remote workers, it is now a way of life that we wouldn’t trade for the world.

For those of us who were used to the strict regimen and run-around of a daily commute, the additional time afforded can initially feel like nirvana has come at last; multiple extra hours of the day were suddenly unlocked, and we were the key-bearers (for once). An endless time continuum of video meetings then ensued on a daily basis.

For the remote worker veterans in the work-from-home game, they looked on at us with a knowing smile, for they could see that those back-to-back bake sessions of banana bread would soon cease, but that the video meetings in underwear-as-outerwear-from-the-waist-down would forever stay.

For most people though, eventually you'll end up loving the extra flexibility and freedom that teleworking offers. If you still don't enjoy working remotely after a few months, maybe you need to make some changes such as:

  • Establishing time boundaries between work and home life
  • Disabling social media and phone notifications
  • Adopting the Pomodoro technique
  • Improving your home office
  • Decluttering your desk
  • Improving your diet

Now that many of us are over a year deep in the work-from-home game, let’s take a look at the most relatable working from home memes for 2022. After all, we all need a little bit of (work from home) humour to deal with the very best and worst things around teleworking.

1. Getting your fitness ready

And so we begin with the first telework meme… huzzah!

2. Productivity when working from home

Working from home meme

We’ve taken control of our diet and fitness like never before and these workout vids have us knowing our inch-wormers from our deadlifts.

22. Working from home, or working from bed, amirite?

But despite our efforts to look at our best, on the days when a blanket and a robe is the only option, ‘camera off’ button failure is at some point inevitable, leaving our colleagues wondering about our brown robe Jedi-chic.

23. Work in a way that suits you

Working from home memeBecause whichever way we manage to get it done is the best way for us.

Sometimes, async work can go awry, and we get assigned the wrong tasks.

28. Pushup royalty

Working from home meme

The full-timers in the office must learn about what it is like to exist in this new realm of weekday ‘free time,’ which is basically whenever your Pomodoro timer gives you that 5 minutes of break.
