At quitting time I said to a guy I work work with: "The boss isn't here. You can take the rest of the day off." He replied: "I was waiting for someone to tell me to go home."

piperguy1654yYes! Humour provides many workplace benefits. Laughing and joking can strengthen mental and physical health and promote social bonding, which in turn can boost productivity. It is essential for employees to know how to enjoy themselves, even if it is a case of making the best of a testing environment.

Not really. I prefer it that way, the line between playful banter and bullying is a bit thin, and not always obvious.
