When Your Coworker Sucks Up to the Boss During an Overtime Meeting

When the meeting has already gone overtime, while that one coworker is still asking doubts to impress the boss:

This meme uses an anime screenshot of a meeting/courtroom scene to depict a relatable workplace frustration. The top text reads: 'When the meeting has already gone overtime, while that one coworker is still asking doubts to impress the boss:' The male character in the foreground has an exhausted, annoyed expression, sitting with his hands clasped, clearly frustrated by the coworker's performative behavior. The female character behind him speaks into a microphone, representing the coworker who is prolonging the meeting to gain favor with their manager. The joke resonates with anyone who has endured unnecessary meeting extensions due to a colleague's insincere, attention-seeking actions.

This is a remixed meme, created by taking a screenshot from an unspecified anime (likely a courtroom or formal meeting scene) and adding a relatable workplace caption. Memes like this are commonly created and shared on platforms such as Reddit (r/animemes, r/workmemes), Twitter/X, and Instagram, where users adapt anime content to reflect real-life office experiences. The original anime scene is repurposed entirely to fit the workplace humor theme, with no connection to the original context of the characters.
