It’s Monday – and it’s April 1st… As an adult, playing a few pranks in the office can lighten the mood and bring some fun and excitement into the workplace. On the other hand, it can cause stress, create unnecessary problems, breed animosity and cut into productivity.
If you like to get into the spirit of the day and you’re busy scheming and planning the perfect prank, ask yourself “how would I feel if this joke were played on me?” Also, keep in mind the timing of your prank. It may be April Fool’s Day on the calendar, but if you’re timing is wrong and if your prank is unprofessional – you may end up being the Fool.
