Donuts Networking or Job Bulling

The past week I received an email from Fernando, an admissions assessor, we were planning a reunion about the ending of the campaign when he wrote us the following message:

(Hi Team, good night! I want to share that because of the excellent campaign season, I will invite everyone the coffee's and donuts on Monday. Regards!)

I felt really special, and the rest of the girls on the team too. We all thanked him for the detail. On Monday when he had to bring the items he promised he told me that everything was a misunderstood or a Job Bulling process.

It happens that when Fernando moved from his spot for a few minutes, the girls of the team seized the opportunity and "assaulted" his computer. They sent an email from his account and committed him to bring donuts and coffee the meeting day!

The advantage is that Fernando is a very kind person and committed with the team, so he didn't want to skip this networking opportunity. He took as a funny little joke and to bond in a better way with the team.

The following Monday he arrived with the donuts and share with all of us. At this moment he is our favorite person at the team.

I want to share with you my feelings:

1.- Take care of your things and never leave your computer without a password, it will prevent you to be "bullied"

2.- If you are going to make a practical joke as this, you have to make sure you can take some of them too.

3.- If you are the one that gets the joke, take it easy, don't make it personal and have some fun with your coworkers.

Do you have a similar anecdote to tell?
