The office-joke code of conduct

Three rules keep work jokes safe: one, the joke is about the situation, never a person — roast the printer, not the intern. Two, keep it clean enough for the company all-hands. Three, read the room: a joke that lands at Friday drinks might flop in Monday's budget review.

Done right, a well-timed dad joke is a tiny act of kindness. It breaks the tension, gives everyone permission to smile, and reminds the whole team that work is serious but we don't always have to be.
