Workmageddon 

When out of nowhere, time critical and urgent priority work starts piling up with a soul crushing impossibility of success.

Dude, what happened? You were supposed to join us for lunch.

Well, I was out the door when Nicole asked me to help with one little thing while she went to the bathroom. Little did I know the execs were heading downstairs to unleash workmageddon.

Toxic workplace

The kind of workplace you leave as soon as you've saved enough fuck you money. No two weeks notice. Just leave and never show up again.

I left my lunch in a locked cabinet before I quit that sorry excuse for a company. It's such a toxic workplace, they won't even notice the smell. It'll just blend in with the rest of their bullshit.

workmare 

When you dream about being at work with bad results, sometimes you dream about being at work naked.

I woke in a cold sweat from a workmare.

working out with gorillas 

A motivational imagery technique used to drastically increase your interest and stamina while working out at the gym.

When I’m low on energy and drive during my sometimes repetitive workouts, I just imagine working out with gorillas and then I’m super pumped!

works for me 

A commonly used phrase by software developers to indicate that the bug reported by a user is not repeatable on their machine, and will therefore receive no more attention. Usually connotes a dismissive approach, where anything that is not visible immediately to the developer is "someone else's problem" and is therefore not worth fixing.

User: The website does not show any content when I log in.

Developer: Works for me.

Government Worker 

An oxymoron.

Man 1: "Betsy just took 12 weeks off from her job!"

Man 2: "She must be a government worker."
