Here are some humorous and engaging content plots for stand-up comedy centered around the life of a corporate employee:
---
### **1. The Great Office Meeting Survival Guide**
**Setup:**
- Observations on how every office meeting has the same characters: "The Over-Talker," "The Invisible One on Mute," and "The Chronic 'Let's Circle Back' Guy."
- The struggle of deciphering corporate jargon: “Can we touch base?” — “Why are we all baseball players now?”
**Punchlines:**
- "The agenda says 30 minutes, but we all know it's a lie — like 'Reply All' was just a mistake."
- "Every meeting feels like an escape room: you're trying to solve clues to leave, but someone's always pulling you back with 'One more thing!'"
---
### **2. Work-from-Home Realities**
**Setup:**
- Highlighting the evolution of office attire on Zoom: business on top, pajama bottoms below.
- The chaos of working from home with kids or pets — “It’s like they’ve unionized against me.”
**Punchlines:**
- "You know you've been working from home too long when your dog starts scheduling 1:1s."
- "I tried to mute my kid on Zoom the other day — turns out, parenting doesn’t have a hotkey."
---
### **3. The Corporate Ladder and Its Invisible Rungs**
**Setup:**
- Climbing the corporate ladder feels more like a hamster wheel: “Congratulations! You’ve been promoted… to the same amount of stress with a fancier title.”
- Explaining how every job description includes “other duties as assigned,” which apparently means “being IT support for Brenda.”
**Punchlines:**
- "I finally got my dream job, and now I dream of leaving it."
- "They said teamwork makes the dream work. Turns out, the dream is just Jeff forwarding emails."
---
### **4. The Legendary Office Printer**
**Setup:**
- The office printer as the ultimate villain: “You don’t use the printer; the printer uses you.”
- Observing how every IT request starts with “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
**Punchlines:**
- "My printer and I have a toxic relationship. I give it paper, it gives me attitude."
- "If the printer jams one more time, I’m jamming it into the recycling bin."
---
### **5. Coffee Culture and Office Politics**
**Setup:**
- The hierarchy at the coffee machine: “Interns get the leftover instant, managers get espresso pods, and the CEO has a private barista.”
- Navigating office potlucks: “There’s always one person who brings chips and another who brings a seven-layer casserole — why?”
**Punchlines:**
- "I drink so much coffee at work, I’m just one missed cup away from a workplace incident report."
- "I don’t even go for the coffee anymore — I’m just there to hear gossip from Janet in HR."
---
### **6. Performance Reviews and Office Recognition**
**Setup:**
- The irony of being praised in a performance review: “Great job! Now here’s more work with no raise.”
- The hilarity of employee awards: “Best Attendance? Congratulations on having no social life.”
**Punchlines:**
- "I got 'Employee of the Month' once, and my reward was a $5 gift card. I used it to buy tissues for my tears."
- "Performance reviews are just horoscopes for your job: vague and always leave you wanting more."
