Unwelcomeness: What Does It Mean?

Some questions to ask yourself are:

• would my spouse, child or sibling like to be treated this way?
• would I like my behavior published in the organization newsletter?
• could my behavior offend or hurt other members of the work group?
• could someone misinterpret my behavior as intentionally harmful or harassing?

If you are unsure if something might be welcome, don't do it. There is no risk in not doing something.
