Upon justifying the reason you will end up saying "WTF??" or "SERIOUSLY???". When it comes to work related stuffs and someone's pride is at stake. A JOKE is different from a JOKE + WITH SENSE since they are totally different.
Witnessing this kind of unjustified reason(s) is quite ironic. Since the abuse of power would be the main reason that would trigger everything. And pride comes along with this decision mixed with sarcasm attitude.
If a certain person could not handle someone's attitude it's not even a problem. Especially if a certain behavior would not affect the work. Being funny and for the sake of entertainment is not a big deal.
- Is it a concern about a certain attitude when these people are the assets of your company? When it's obvious that jokes are meant to ease tension.
- Why can't their attitude be disparaged when they are productive?
- Why it's an issue about their behavior in fact they are effective with their assigned task?
- Why be alarmed on how they act inside the office when they are just being real?
Passing judgement because you can't tame someone is merely unprofessional. Doing such act would only describe a certain person as a satire kind.
To make things clear ignore those nonsense stuffs when a false ego is bumped. I hope this kind of greedy and selfish people should be quartered and hanged.
