DNA Testing – Does It Spell An End To Office Pranks?

Office pranks are often used to lighten the mood or promote morale amongst co-workers but companies are increasingly using DNA testing to bring office based japes to an end.

DNA testing is used in a variety of circumstances from paternity tests to criminal proceedings but DNA testing is now becoming increasingly prevalent in the workplace. Hard-line bosses with no time for tomfoolery are beginning to DNA test their workers to find out who the practical jokers are and nip their antics in the bud. DNA testing is being used on prank paraphernalia to establish who the culprit was when the jokes have gone too far.

DNA Testing – Jokers Beware

A number of companies who threatened to introduce DNA testing when office jokes were out of control found the mere threat was often sufficient to bring an end to the pranks. Dr Thomas Haziel, a DNA expert, said, when speaking to the Telegraph that "If people do not misbehave at work, then they have nothing to fear. We are helping to prevent injustice at work by identifying the real culprits which prevents innocent workers from being falsely accused of some form of malpractice”. In these circumstances, DNA testing has proved very effective in bringing the perpetrator’s of pranks to justice and many have mended the error of their ways.

DNA Testing – How It Works

In many of the instances where DNA testing was called upon by companies, the practical jokers were leaving evidence behind that, shall we say, was ‘ideal’ for DNA testing. One company used DNA testing when an employee was urinating in the kettle and another company decided to rely on DNA testing when an employee was leaving something altogether less savoury in a co-worker’s locker. There are clearly many uses for DNA testing and, as is being witnessed by a number of companies across the UK, it is a key tool in cutting down the number of unsavoury practical jokes in the workplace.
