How workplace teams navigate dating app humor across different relationship statuses

Our team at work keeps making jokes about dating apps and everyone participates but some people are married, some are single, some are dating, and some are in complicated situations, so the jokes land differently for everyone. The conversations that are supposed to be light end up revealing too much or making people uncomfortable, but we all keep doing it because it feels like bonding.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared cultural references around digital dating become loaded with personal meaning that complicates professional social bonding.
