Do people in your workplace dress up for Halloween?

My employer usually encourages dressing up for Halloween as long as the costumes don't interfere with the ability to do your job. Not many participate. When I do dress up, I always go for an "easy" costume so I don't stand out too much if no one else dressed up.

Not really. It's not encouraged. The people who do it just do small gestures, a hat or mask. Or the the elf or fairy ears, which I always mistake for Vulcan ears.

My hospital does and it’s such a great team building experience.
This year I’m encouraging my fellow nurses to dress as a sea creature. I’m going as a cute shark and my work bestie will be a very cute lobster. We are also encouraging the costume to be a onesie.
I’m so exited to see if the nurses will join in this year!

Before I worked remote, we used to do themes each year. It was fun.

We did last year and it was so fun!

I was advised professionals remain professional at all times. That means no holiday dress up or excessive decorations. I found it to be spirit crushing. Sometimes, well many times, in a high stress job, these little things can help cut the tension. It provides a sense of cheer and caprice.

Nope. It can be triggering for some of our clients. It's best to show up like we always do - no surprises.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
