Roasts for coworkers that will not get you sent to HR
Office humor has rules. You want the laugh without the meeting with HR. These roasts stick to the universal habits everyone at work has noticed: reply-all, pointless meetings, and the coworker who has been on mute since 2020.
Keep them for friendly teammates and team chats, never for anyone junior to you or anyone having a rough week. For something tailored, describe the coworker in SpicyReplies and get a roast that is funny and safe for work.

Rules for roasting coworkers
- Roast habits, never someone’s work performance, job security or personal life.
- Only roast peers you already joke with. Punching down at junior teammates is not a roast, it is a problem.
- Keep it in casual channels. The all-hands channel is not the place.
- If you would not say it with your manager in the room, do not type it in the team chat.
