Sure, it’s always fun to wear a Halloween costume to work. But… it’s not always appropriate. There’s a very thin line between a zany costume that shows off your personality and one that makes everyone else feel uncomfortable. This video from FastCompany gives you the top 6 situations where you probably should leave the costume at home.
1. When firing someone
“This is the hardest part of my job. Because of recent budget cut, we’re going to have to let you go…”
2. During a work lunch
“I didn’t eat breakfast, I just had a protein shake…I have to figure out how to eat better…”
3. When laying down the law
“Do you know how stupid we look right now? Come on, people, grow up!”
4. While supporting a big meeting
“With a meeting as big as this one, we’ll make sure to send the minutes right after. Seth is going to do that…”
5. When no one gets it
“I am Charlie Chaplin…”
6. While giving a client tour
“Here’s our technology group. They’re hard at work right now on their innovation…let me introduce you to our CTO.”
