my workplace’s “kid-friendly” Halloween get together was truly terrifying

My workplace held a Halloween get together this week after hours and stated within the invitation that children and vital others had been welcome. A few of us introduced our younger youngsters (ages 2-5 or so). After we arrived the indicators had been fairly ghoulish (dismembered bloody physique components, and many others), and one worker, “Bob,” introduced a really grotesque and sensible zombie puppet that really terrorized the children in attendance. The dad and mom are actually upset, and wouldn’t have introduced youngsters if we knew that there can be this sort of grownup Halloween horror.
The one who did that is in any other case pretty. I feel he was simply clueless about how inappropriate this was for a household occasion. How will we tackle this? It’s onerous sufficient in our firm for mothers of younger youngsters, and I don’t need us to be seen as spoil sports activities.
I reply this query — and three others — over at Inc. right now, the place I’m revisiting letters which have been buried within the archives right here from years in the past (and generally updating/increasing my solutions to them). You can learn it right here.
Different questions I’m answering there right now embrace:
- Job candidates preserve asking if I’ve time to speak
- Sloppily written emails from knowledgeable contact
- What number of references is it cheap to provide for one individual?
