Let’s face it — workplace morale could always use a boost. Coffee only does so much, motivational posters don’t actually motivate anyone, and “team-building activities” usually end with someone pretending to enjoy trust falls.
You know what would really fix office vibes?
Pet squirrels.
Yes, I said it. Imagine it: you’re sitting through a long meeting, your brain slowly melting into your coffee mug, when suddenly your coworker’s squirrel leaps across the conference table like a tiny superhero. Boom — instant energy. Productivity: restored.
Here’s why bringing your pet squirrel to work just makes sense 👇
1️⃣ Stress Relief That Actually Works
Studies say animals reduce stress. Now imagine that animal can fit in your hoodie pocket and occasionally peek out to chirp at your boss. Tell me that wouldn’t brighten your day.
2️⃣ Built-In Snack Patrol
Squirrels are serious about snacks. That means no more stolen lunches from the breakroom fridge — your squirrel will personally guard your leftovers like a tiny, fluffy security guard.
3️⃣ They Encourage Productivity
If you’ve ever had a squirrel climb your leg mid-email, you know it forces you to move faster. It’s basically “cardio while working.” Apple Watches could never.
4️⃣ Team Morale = Sky High
Everyone would want to visit your desk. Office friendships would flourish. Suddenly, even Karen from accounting would smile more — because who can stay grumpy when a squirrel just tried to steal her pen?
5️⃣ They’re the Ultimate Icebreaker
Forget awkward small talk — “So, how was your weekend?” becomes “Oh my gosh, is that a squirrel in your pocket?” Boom. Conversation started.
At the end of the day, squirrels remind us not to take life too seriously. They’re little symbols of curiosity, energy, and pure chaos — all the things we secretly need more of at work.
So, HR departments of the world: let’s make it happen.
Bring your squirrel to work day. Every day.
