Workplace AI Jokes That Hit Too Close to Home

In 2025, your manager doesn’t just want you to use AI — they want you to become AI. Slack threads filled with bot-generated “daily inspiration,” Gemini rewriting your project docs without asking, Claude apologizing for missing deadlines it never had.

That’s why workplace AI jokes slap so hard: they’re painfully real, slightly dystopian, and exactly what your team drops in chat during a “quick 30-minute sync” that lasts an hour.
