As a joke, a co-worker sends anonymous love letters to another co-worker who takes them seriously. Everyone is enjoying the prank. Do you expose it?

Would you allow the joke to continue?

No, I'd tell them the truth and then sell tickets to witness the massacre.

Depends on how well I knew the players. I'm probably more likely to confront the joker than the jokee.

What kind of ignorant fuckhead thinks something like that is funny? I'd give them a warning to knock it off first but if they didn't I'd expose them.RedBedroom wrote:As a joke, a co-worker sends anonymous love letters to another co-worker who takes them seriously.

^^Pretty much what Alan and CeCe said, confront the Joker first then if he doesn't let up, inform the person that the jokes being played on.

Depending on the size of the company and its personnel policies, the joker could be out looking for another job if ever discovered. Start with wasting company time or a threat of hostile work environment/sexual harassment lawsuit, the joker becomes a major liability.
And that is exactly what I would tell the joker or if the person was particularly obnoxious (which such a prank indicates) I would go right to management.
This from a guy who is at this moment wasting company time here.

I wouldn't participate in the joke. Whether or not I'll tell the person that the prank is being played on depends on if I like them or not. If I don't, I would just keep my mouth shut and just not participate. If I do, I will tell them.

If I knew and liked the person the prank was being played on, I would pull them aside and give them a "you didn't hear it from me" heads up. If I didn't know or like the person, I'd stay out of it completely.

I wouldn't participate or snitch (unless it involved a friend). But I agree with Shale, ESPECIALLY if the "letters" are sent via email. Because those emails become the company's property.
I've been known to pull pranks but this one is going too far because it's perpetually playing on someone's emotions.
