Wakanda may not be a real place but thanks to the new Black Panther movie, people around the world are bringing the fictional place and it’s ways to the real world.
The unprecedented popularity of Black Panther has spurred some great conversations, created inspirational memes and now one social media user has created a list of hilarious “HR” rules for returning to work while keeping Wakanda alive.
The viral screen grabbed post has been shared over 100 000 times but we tracked down the original writer who wrote the hilarious “HR” rules.
1. If you plan to use the Black Panther handshake be prepared to explain it.
2. Using the phrase “Hey Auntie” may get the attention of that older milf coworker you had your eye on but you might want to check your jobs policy on fraternization.
3. Leave all home-made Wakandan weapons at home. A spear can’t pass as a letter opener even if you can demonstrate your ability to open a letter with it. Just leave it at home.
4. Don’t cut off/silence coworkers with Jabari tribe monkey grunts. That won’t end how you plan.
5. Do Not refer to anyone as Colonizer. This is a one way trip to HR. While I’m sure they don’t have a specific rule on this, I’m also sure they will make up something on the spot to punish you.
Bonus: ladies if you had hair at work on Friday and show up Monday with a baldie that’s fine. However if you wear a wig for the specific purpose of throwing it at someone, you ma’am are in the wrong.
Bonus 2: Saying a quick “Wakanda Forever” at the end of a conversation with a like-minded individual is ok. Including it on any company document, email or work text is not ok.
Good luck and Wakanda Forever.
