Remote Work Joke
Write an original joke about remote work. Make sure it's funny.
Here's one for you:
I told my boss I needed a "standing desk" for my home office.
He said, "Great! Ergonomics are important."
Now I take all our Zoom calls from my kitchen, standing in front of the fridge.
Turns out he was right—I am more productive. I've increased my snack intake by 340%.
Here's one for you:
I told my boss I needed a standing desk for my home office.
He said, "Just take all your Zoom calls from the bathroom like everyone else."
Here's one for you:
My boss told me I need to be more visible while working from home.
So now I wear pants during Zoom calls and when I'm on mute.
Here's one for you:
I told my boss I needed a standing desk for my home office.
He said, "Just take all your Zoom calls from the bathroom like everyone else."
My boss told me I need to set better boundaries between my work and home life.
So now, when my dog brings me a ball, I tell him my plate is too full but he can circle back with me next quarter.
My wife asked me what the hardest part of working from home is.
I told her it’s figuring out how to slam my laptop shut in a way that says “I’m leaving the office for the day” without actually breaking it.
A manager pings his remote employee on Slack: "Hey, you there?"
A few minutes go by.
Finally, the employee replies: "Yes, sorry! I was walking back from a meeting in the kitchen and the Wi-Fi dropped for a second between the fridge and the couch."
The most treacherous part of my remote work commute is the 12-foot journey from my bedroom to my office.
The kitchen is right in the middle, and I lose a good man every time.
I told HR I was struggling with work-life balance while working remotely, so they recommended a second monitor. Now I can watch my work interrupt my life in widescreen.
I personalized my remote workspace by putting my laptop on the washing machine. Now every meeting is a spin class, my Slack status is “agitated,” and my performance review just says “excellent cycles.”
I told my boss I’d be five minutes late because of traffic. He said, “You work remotely.” I said, “Exactly—there’s a major pile-up between the bed and the desk. Towels jackknifed, socks everywhere, authorities advising alternate routes through the kitchen.”
Remote work update: my Wi‑Fi requested paid time off because it’s tired of carrying the team. I approved it—now my leadership style is finally consistent: unstable, intermittent, and only works if you stand very close.
Why did the remote worker get fired during a video call? They thought "mute" meant their boss couldn't hear them snoring!
Why did the remote worker get in trouble with IT? Because they kept trying to "zoom" through their meetings without pants on – talk about a risky shortcut!
Why did the remote worker get promoted? Because they were always outstanding in their field... even if that field was just the backyard with terrible Wi-Fi!
Why did the remote worker get in trouble with HR? Because they kept "working" from home... but their home was a beach in Hawaii, and the only "spreadsheet" they opened was a towel!
