Can funny women succeed in the workplace?

Society & Culture

If you are funny, and a woman, you may need to tone it down at work.

This is according to the absolute worst study that was ever done in the history of studies.

Apparently, research finds that a sense of humour in the workplace may help you survive your job, but you won’t get a pay rise or a promotion.

In fact, the research found women in particular were harmed by having a sense of humour in the workplace, as women’s humour was deemed ‘disruptive’ and men’s humour was deemed ‘functional’ (aka, palatable and worthy of a pay rise).

Alex from The Big Smoke chats with Annie and Dene about the research and note that it’s better to change jobs than personalities.
