Re: Is it okay to prank employees with a fake firing notice for April Fools’ Day?

The idea just popped into my head since it’s April Fools’ -- I thought it might lighten the mood at work. I was thinking of sending out a fake memo listing employees who are getting terminated, but obviously as a joke.

But now I’m wondering… Is this actually illegal or just really unethical? What do you guys think - should I go for it, or is this one of those stupid ideas I should just drop?
i don’t think it’s illegal but you need to realize that this will affect them a lot since you’d put them under stress but if you want to do this i will advise giving them a benefit afterwards like maybe give them a raise or a promotion after so they forget about the prank
