As Thanksgiving draws near, many of us start thiking about the perfect turkey, the fluffiest mashed potatoes, and let’s be real - the delightful prospect of a shorter work-week. Just imagine, instead of the usual Monday to Friday grind, we could enjoy a cozy, three-day workweek leading up to Thanksgiving. It would be a holiday miracle that might even make the most devoted workaholics rethink their life choices!
The advantages of a shorter workweek are as appealing as Aunt Edna’s secret cranberry sauce recipe. Research has shown that when employees work fewer hours, they tend to be happier and more efficient. In fact, one study found that productivity can actually rise when people work less! It’s like discovering you can indulge in dessert first without any repercussions. Pure bliss!
Social media users leave no stone unturned in expressing their joy at having a shorter workweek.
Here are some of the funniest 'Shorter Workweek' memes that will make you LOL before Thanksgiving:

While a shorter workweek before Thanksgiving sounds like a fantastic dream, it might come with its own set of challenges (and some questionable cooking attempts). But hey, Thanksgiving is meant for more time to be given to family gatherings and less time to stress over deadlines, then let’s make it happen! After all, who wouldn’t want an extra day to recover from their food coma while still getting paid? Now that’s definitely something to be thankful for!
