An employee was fired for placing a joke sticker in the staff washroom, sparking a debate on workplace humour and boundaries.
The sticker, which read 'Employees must stop crying before returning to work,' led to the employee's suspension and eventual termination.
Despite HR being informed of the prank beforehand, the employee was dismissed the next day with little explanation, leaving them disheartened.
The incident has raised questions about intent, communication, and proportionality in workplace disciplinary actions, underscoring the blurred line between humour and professionalism in corporate settings.
