Horseplay and Teasing at Work
There's nothing wrong with kidding around at work. But we can step over the line when it comes to having fun at someone else's expense - leading to a possible harassment claim. Hazing, teasing, profanity, and horseplay are the kinds of unprofessional behaviors that lead to low morale, low productivity, and turnover. So the best bet when it comes to horseplay or teasing at work? Just don't do it.
