Is a dry sense of humor appropriate in a professional work environment?
Wiki User

Yes, but I also feel it's appropriate only at certain times. While some casual times/situations in a professional work environment are appropriate for dry wit, not all of them are. It's best to limit the comedy (dry wit or any other type) to more casual times in the office.
Answer:
In a work environment, unless you have a longstanding familiarity with all present, a sense of humour can lead to misunderstandings, accusations of not taking the work seriously or potentially lawsuits for discrimination or harassment. Having your client, a superior or a co-worker react to your attempt at humour with a "What exactly did you mean by that?" is not a good feeling. What you see as dry wit may be seen as sarcasm by others.
