In this episode of WTF is Business Casual?!, Jenny and Sarah go full rogue with a chaotic, hilarious deep dive into the strange world of workplace shenanigans. The pranks that made the office fun… until they didn’t.

This episode is a tribute to the coworker chaos that somehow made your 9-to-5 bearable.

You’ll hear:

  • 💻 Why “lock your computer” is more than just IT’s favorite slogan
  • 🧀 The cheese prank that cleared a whole office
  • 🌶️ A popcorn machine saga featuring jalapeño drama and The Corn Stars™
  • 🤮 The fake vomit prank so real it almost got Jenny fired (by herself)

Because in HR, it’s all fun and games… until it’s an incident report.
