12 ‘First Day of Work’ memes that will have you laughing through the chaos 

Every working adult knows what it's like to go through the first-day jitters, be it your first day at work or when you're returning after a long break.

Granted, the latter can be a little lenient (because you've already embarrassed yourself too many times before, it doesn't even make a difference anymore), but that doesn't soften the blow of being embarrassed in front of your entire office.

So, while you may not have gotten over your own failures, it might interest you to know that there have been cases worse than yours. And, the cherry on top is that these have been documented and put up on the internet for the world to see and laugh at in the years to come.

What we've done here is scour the internet and find some of the funniest memes in this niche genre, allowing you to chuckle and brighten up your day, and possibly even your sour memories of when you first joined your job.
