I love Halloween as much as the next person does. But dressing up for Halloween in the workplace can be a very bad idea. If you are not careful, you can end up offending a lot of people by your choice of costume attire. Here are some costumes to stay away from this year.
Resist The Urge To Dress Like Viral Video Stars!
Viral videos, we all love ’em. But, it’s probably a bad idea to come into work dressed like the “Bed Intruder Guy” So hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your costume from your boss.
Avoid the “Sexy Nurse” Costumes!
Ladies, I don’t care where you work, but the sexy nurse and Hooters girl costumes are never appropriate attire for the workplace. Not only are you going to look trashy, but you run the risk of offending others and violating your company’s sexual harassment and dress code policies.
Political Figure Costumes Are A Big No-No!
Talking politics in the workplace can be a dangerous topic. So, why on earth would you come dressed up like Obama or Sarah Palin to the office. I don’t care if it’s a joke. It’s still a bad idea. It’s equivalent to stating your political beliefs on a billboard.
Avoid Dressing Up Like Religious Figures
Just like politics, religion can be a tricky topic in the workplace. So leave your nun, monk, rabbi and Catholic school girl costumes for your Halloween cocktail parties.
