The Ive Been Moved Computer Company Is Planning to Again Move

I remember information technology's safe to assume that we all work really difficult.

Besides the fact that doing anything worthwhile takes hard work and dedication, the trend has been longer and longer hours for American office workers. According to a 2014 Gallup written report, full-time adults work 47 hours each week, almost a full workday longer than the standard twoscore-hr workweek.

Sometimes you need a trivial function laughter to break up the 24-hour interval and recharge from all the fourth dimension spent focusing on the serious stuff.

Of course, you don't want to prank your colleagues with the same, tired pranks.

With this in listen (and with April Fool's Mean solar day coming up), we decided to put together our Ultimate Guide to pranking your colleagues.

We tried to avert all of the jokes you and your co-workers have probably already pulled on each other. These are the best of the all-time, function pranks guaranteed to help you go the king (or queen) of function pranks – without getting fired.

Once you lot've pranked your buddy at work… you may desire to ship them a reminder of the "damage" washed… A platform like Bonusly can come in handy to cement the permanent tape of your glorious victory… Click if you dare…

First, a few footing rules.

Most of these are pretty obvious (and we seriously doubt any of you would do whatever of these things), merely it's worth mentioning that you lot should avert doing whatever of the following:

• Don't Destroy Anyone's Property. That goes for office or personal property. Annihilation you do should be reversible. Don't ruin the paint on someone's automobile, or interruption someone'due south monitor, or stain their clothing. That's non a prank, that's directly-up vandalism.
• Don't Crusade Major Disruptions. The all-time role pranks surprise and delight. They may even crusade a small-scale disruption in the workday – the kind that makes people popular their heads upwardly from their desks and smile (or milkshake their head). But don't do annihilation that would cause major disruption or otherwise impairment your business concern. We're talking about things like pulling the burn alarm, unleashing baneful stink bombs, or unplugging your visitor'south servers (as tempting every bit that might exist).
• Don't Cause Bodily Injury. Duh.
• Don't Cross the Line. E'er heard of the phrase "hostile work environment?" Well, permit'southward promise y'all never practice (particularly coming from your lawyer or your company'southward Head of Hour). Apply good judgment. We know you'd never practise this, but don't engage in humor that pokes fun at anyone's race, ethnicity, organized religion, gender, or sexual orientation. That'south never ok in the workplace. Even if your intent isn't malicious, you tin all the same lose your chore and/or put your visitor at risk. Plus, information technology'due south just non cool.

One time you've gone through our list, you tin go boosted workplace culture ideas from The Assist — a free weekly email for professionals total of actionable productivity and leadership inspo.

"1 thing The Assist has helped me immensely with is keeping our visitor culture alive during this new shift to hybrid work. Information technology is of import for us to have a team who is happy and healthy and The Assist has provided tons of options to help make that possible for our squad." -Julie P. Executive Assistant, Classcraft

Ok, at present that we've got that out of the style, on to the fun stuff.

Desire to improve your employee appreciation program this year?

Yep!

1. Body Spray Bomb

This 1 comes from SnackNation Member Success Manager Jessie Montz, the cocky-described "Queen of the Function Pranksters."

The thought is to rig upwards a bottle of torso spray underneath the victim's part chair so that when he sits downwardly, information technology triggers the bottle to spray.

You'll need:

• One bottle of foul-smelling body spray (this "Chaos" scented Axe body spray should do the trick)

Step 1: Adjust the victim'southward chair so that the chair gives slightly when someone sits on it.

Step 2: Duct tape the bottle of body spray directly nether the seat so that when the chair moves downward, it depresses the spray.
