Don’t Pretend Like You Haven’t Taken Workplace Selfies

I’ve done it. You’ve probably done it as well. We’re guilty of the workplace selfie. Whether we’re taking a photo with our coffee for Instagram, making ourselves into a dog on Snapchat, or simply want to send our bestie a pouty “wah get me out of here’ face, we’ve all taken at least one workplace selfie. It’s fine, no reason to be ashamed; I just hope your boss didn’t walk by while you were doing it. That may or may not have happened to me, but that’s another story. These people below workplace selfied, and did it right.

1) The Hot Doctor’s Motivation
All of his pictures are phenomenal, but I loved the caption to this one. It encourages you to always stay motivated.

2) The Attractive Nurse’s Realness
Have you not referred to your job as a trap before? Girl, we can relate.

3) The Funny Face
A funny face a day helps the cubicle life go faster! Kind of.

4) End of Day Friday Selfie
Also known as “K time to get out of here so I can go drink.”

5) The Mirror Pic
When you actually have a full length mirror in your place of work. #blessed

6) The Happy Face
She’s happy that her workplace is the lab.

7) The Selfie Stick
When your workplace is outdoors, one is needed.

8) Realness
This sums up how we all feel at work.

9) The Hiring Announcement
I LOVE this idea. It’s a great way to spread the message about a job opening on Instagram. Millennials, keep a look out on Instagram now as well if you’re in the job hunt.

10) Remember To Smile
Sometimes our coffee needs to remind us to smile while we’re at work.

11) Get Me Out Of Here
Her face says it all. We feel you.

12) The Snapchat Integration
Step 1: Distract yourself at work with Snapchat filters.
Step 2: Prolong this procrastination by putting it on Instagram. Love it.

13) The Group Selfies
Sometimes you and your work squad just need to take a selfie. This looks like it could be the cover photo for the next boy band.

14) Help Me I’m Bored.
We are too, we are too.


15) Necessary Humor
Sometimes you just have to make yourself laugh, and share it with others. Thanks for the laugh girl!

16) The Shades
We’re too cool for this cube.

17) St. Patty’s Day
Can’t be out drinking? Have to celebrate in the cube!

18) Dress Up Time
And then there are those great times at work when you can dress up.

19) The Colleague
When you purposely make sure that your colleague is in your selfie.

20) Reassurance
Here’s a little reminder that yes, work is fun.

21) When Work Hands You Lips….
You just need to take all of the selfies.

22) The Best Colleague
Working from home has its perks, especially when your cat is your colleague.
(Quick shoutout to our fearless Assistant Editor-In-Chief for this selfie!)


23) The Angle
What a cool perspective.

24) Santa’s Workshop
Okay maybe not Santa’s, but still a cool workshop selfie.

25) Yours Truly
You knew I had to include myself and my love (Dunkin’ iced coffees) in this post!

I want to see your workplace selfies! Tweet us your best ones at @PloymintHQ and you may be in our next selfie post.
