Friday is Halloween…and you may be dressing up for work this week.

Forbes has thoughts:

• Talk to your manager or HR first  Especially if this is your first Halloween at your job.  You don’t want to be the one person who didn’t get the memo about not dressing up.
• Make sure the costume doesn’t interfere with your job  If you can’t sit down or walk easily, or if it’s just going to distract you all day, pick something else.
• Check your calendar  If you have Zoom meetings or other work commitments that day, either plan around them, or just don’t dress up.
• Bring a change of clothes  Even if you don’t have any meetings scheduled, something could still come up.  You don’t want to be stuck in a costume dealing with a serious issue. 
• Use common sense.  That means nothing potentially offensive and people get offended about everything these days so if there’s any doubt, you’re better off skipping a costume. 

There are plenty of costumes you can wear and still have a great time…so do it!
