21 Employee Burnout Posts To Push You Through Your Late-Week Work Slump (August 29, 2025)

It's that time of the year when we're not close enough to the holidays, but we've also just finished up the summertime vibes. This is the warm version of the January-February slump that we all experience in the winter… But alas, we must find a way to numb the pain of no more PTO and over two months until the next holiday off. I know we have Labor Day, but what, then?

Even though it's easy to succumb to the burnout (because it's so easy to do, and feels better in the moment), we must persevere. What are we without our drive and our wit? Funny posts like the ones below verbalize our stressors into something tangible, both meaningful and meaningless, and make them seem so much smaller.

No amount of mandatory happy hours, "circling back", or "Hey team, just a reminder" can take away from the fact that we are not our jobs, nor are we responsible for doing anything above what we are paid to do in a written contract. As a matter of fact, take a bathroom break and scroll through these bad boys. C'mon, I know you want to!
