Practical jokes against a work colleague

Don’t fall foul of a tribunal

A recent survey of more than 800 workers in various industries, found that most had taken part in a practical joke against a colleague.

Two thirds said that they did not think about the repercussions of the joke, even though most also admitted they felt bullied if they were the victim of an innocent joke.

Pranks that could be classed as bullying included loosening the top of a salt-pourer so that a meal was covered in salt, and putting a sign on someone’s back saying “kick me”.

In the US, such pranks are taboo for fear that the matter might be taken to a tribunal.
