We haven’t had any, I will say I feel like the majority of people aren’t exactly in a joking mood overall. A mandatory weekend of work isn’t funny, would genuinely stress a lot of people out, and for one person to get a laugh. Needs some thought before doing things, a lot of us are already so stressed!

Yeah, timing and sensitivity really matter with pranks. If people are already stretched thin, adding stress for a joke just isn’t worth it.
Yeah i don’t think it’s appropriate for the workplace

That’s fair, though I think a lighthearted joke can be okay in the right setting.
I mean if its a harmless little prank that really isn't going to hurt any feelings or make anything awkward then I think its fine. But for the most part I don't feel that pranks should be done at work for the reasons you listed so it would have to be VERY lighthearted.

Totally agree! If it’s truly harmless and lighthearted, it can be fun. But it’s such a fine line at work, so better to play it safe unless you know the vibe is right.
