Irony, self-irony, and jokes about workaholics
Funny Stories and Jokes About Workaholics: When Work Becomes the Main Character of Anecdotes Workaholics are a special kind of people.

Or: "He went to the sea because there's the best Wi-Fi and no one distracts him from work." There is always an element of absurdity in such stories: the person paid for a vacation but spent it in the same state as in the office. It's funny, but each of these jokes contains a grain of truth, and we laugh because we recognize ourselves. Office Stories: When Colleagues Are Family and Work Is Home A workaholic often lives at the office, and their colleagues become their main social environment.
