Batesmotel Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Be careful out there. With Tick-Tock and other video sharing sites becoming more popular, filming workplace pranks is getting out of hand. Companies are instituting strict no tolerance policies. Anyone involved can be fired on the spot. Too many injuries. Too much money lost. It has been tested in court. A friend just fired five people. Two who set up the prank. One who filmed it. And two who watched. Four will be invited to reapply for their jobs next week. One is out on his ass.

Maser Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I'd much rather see job place pranks rather than people getting pulled into those industrial sized lathes and getting torn to pieces and body parts flung all over the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It really depends on the workplace environment and the type of prank. Filming the pranks should be a no-go though. Keep the pranks in house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 We have a strict no-prank policy here at MunnCo. Unless it's really, really funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I pulled a prank on a boss that nearly got him put in jail, probation revoked. He was the only one that didn't think it was funny, although later on he did kinda see the humor in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 This prank cost several thousand dollars in lost production because a machine got torn down again and again looking for a faked problem. All filmed just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbie18 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 The people I work with LOVE pranks, but they need to be harmless. Something that costs thousands of dollars isn't a prank. For example, open a can of sardines and hide it in your friend's car. That is a harmless prank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I worked out a prank that had my coworkers repeatedly scuffing their shoes on the carpet and zapping themselves on a metal door trying to get it to unlock, like it did for me when I scuffed my shoes and touched the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A CONUS colleague that received an assignment to South Africa during the middle of a really hot summer asked me how should he dress for it. "It's Africa, man. As light as possible.". It could have been sabotage. And my mother had nothing to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
