It has totally 20 spaces were given in the passage we should estimate the appropriate word in the
blank space….4 options for each blank the passage is given below i don’t remember the all
dashes but this is the passage
Most agree that humor in the workplace can have beneficial effects. Yet not all humor is good
humor. The challenge: how to interject appropriate humor and fun into our serious jobs without
hurting others or seriously undermining the company. When used appropriately, humor can work
for you.
Humor that Uploads Also Uplifts
Humor has the power to make people feel special. When you include people in fun it
simultaneously improves morale, reduces stress and facilitates team building. With the
prevalence of telecommuting and workgroups scattered geographically, the challenge of
furthering working relationships, bonding and building camaraderie is real. At one San Francisco
Bay Area company a workgroup staged an elaborate Remote Baby Shower. The expectant
mother, who was out-of-state, called in for a pre-arranged conference call with her workgroup.
When she did...surprise! Everyone was having a party in her honor. They uploaded digital photos
of a decorated conference room and each other, and e-mailed sound files with well wishes.
Everyone shared in the good cheer. This creative use of technology brought employees closer to
each other, figuratively if not literally.
Humor That Brings People Together
Workplaces are full of opportunities to use humor for the benefit of all. Milestones are a natural
place to employ humor. Dress like the recipient as a tribute during a surprise birthday party.
Other celebrations to mark anniversaries, project completions or similar accomplishments are
perfect opportunities to utilize humor. Even surviving certain projects is cause for celebration
and fun.
Holidays are another natural time to employ humor. Halloween is a time for contests to see who
can best decorate conference rooms; for other companies the anniversary of their founding is
cause for celebration. Silly speeches, skits and spoofs abound.
And the Award Goes To...
Staging award ceremonies is a great way to have fun, recognize each other and revel in the
shared work experience. Whether the categories mimic those found at the Oscars, Emmys or
Tonys, or are derivative, esprit de corps rises when the team laughs at itself and each other. Best
Supporting Actor, Best Impersonation of an Inanimate Object, Best Special Effects, Most Likely
to Secede, or Lifetime Achievement Award.
Pranks can alternately be uplifting or uprooting. A desktop publisher, on April Fools Day,
adorned his co-workers cars' windshields with mock yellow parking tickets, complete with
envelopes for remittance. Upon closer inspection, these true-to-life replicas of tickets had
whimsical offenses of significance to the recipients. The departmental joker's ticket cited him for
"excessive use of farce" and the hard charging corporate counsel's infraction charged him with a
"Failure to Yield." Of course the initiator of the gag was later cited for impersonating an officer.
Everyone laughed at the spoof once they realized it was a joke. Judge Judy's signature at the
bottom of the ticket gave it away.
Pole Position
A fast growing company didn't have enough office space for full cubicles for its new hires. One
unfortunate hire's assigned cubicle had a giant pole in its midst. To her credit she never
complained. Co-workers felt for her. One night they hit the streets, collecting various fliers from
telephone poles in their neighborhoods. The next day when the new hire reached her cubicle, the
offending pole was now covered with notices about missing pets, renters seeking apartments,
cheap movers for hire and even local GRE study groups. Not only did the employee know her
co-workers felt her frustration, it bonded them as well as they pulled together to help one of their
own.
One Person's Humor is Another Person's Horror
When targeting humor consider targeting yourself. Everyone has a different idea of what's funny
and what's not. Many a well intentioned prank or joke has backfired. One co-worker sent another
a prank letter impersonating a local media figure. The recipient mistook it for real, interpreted it
as harassment and called the FBI. Oops!
The Benefits of Self-Effacing Humor
When we make fun of ourselves it actually demonstrates our healthy outlook, showing we don't
take ourselves so seriously. As a result, we're regarded as more approachable and down to earth.
Don't make fun of yourself excessively. Such humor loses its effectiveness with overuse.
Everyone from politicians to CEOs to Southwest Airlines flight attendants use self-deprecating
humor - humor that makes fun of themselves - to get people laughing at, and consequently with
them. You can too.
While gallows humor may feel appropriate during layoffs and cutbacks, strive to employ humor
that uplifts and taps universal themes for best results. Here's to laughter!
