Humor in the Workplace: A Cost‑Benefit Analysis

from Hidden in Plain Sight: All Things Asian in the Workplace · host Hidden in Plain Sight

In this episode, we dig into the nuances of humor at work—why it connects, why it misfires, and why it can feel especially risky for Asian and Asian American professionals. We each share stories about jokes that landed, moments that didn’t, and how context, rapport, and power dynamics shape what’s “safe” to say. Together, we reflect on authenticity, self‑deprecation, and how humor can ease tension or deepen connection. Join us for a warm and honest conversation about laughing—and being understood—at work.
