HR green lights employee's April Fool's prank in the office bathroom, employee is subsequently fired for it: ‘[HR] even told me what washroom to put it in’

Though we're over a month past April Fool's Day, we are actively seeing the aftereffects of a lighthearted work joke gone bad. If Human Resources gives an employee the green light to put up a funny, harmless sticker in the employee bathroom, you'd think their boss would equally get a kick out of it.

We aren't allowed to make jokes in the workforce anymore.

At work, sometimes acknowledging the elephant in the room—the fact that nobody would be there if they didn't have to be—ironically uplifts employee morale. 

The boss in this next story decides to fire an employee after they put a sticker in their company bathroom, which was HR-approved. Without a sense of humor, we're simply automatons. Scroll to read the full story.
