(Unless they specifically said so, which congratulations on your awesome job!)&nbsp; A Halloween costume you will wear in work should reflect the company\u2019s image and maintain somewhat of a professional standard.&nbsp; You should obviously be able to work in it, so huge metal Ironman suits are probably not okay. (Sorry guy from Comic Con).&nbsp; If your costume doesn\u2019t impede your or the company\u2019s workflow and doesn\u2019t violate any policies or reflect badly on the company then you are good to go.&nbsp; Happy Halloween, can\u2019t wait to see all the cool costumes this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Halloween is coming up soon and with it all the fun of the costumes we\u2019ve been working so&hellip;","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":8255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1296,1316,510],"tags":[519,866,867,893,894],"class_list":{"0":"post-7975","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tips-and-trends","8":"category-office-wellness-tips-and-trends","9":"category-the-workplace","10":"tag-halloween","11":"tag-halloween-in-the-office","12":"tag-halloween-at-work","13":"tag-halloween-costume","14":"tag-halloween-costume-ettiquette","15":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
