Christmas corporate party: Playing by the rules

So are you ready to meet face to face with his "enemy" - carefree merry crowd. Now you need to learn the Ten Commandments informal office etiquette.

1) Come to the party!

Skip corporate party at your own risk and see what happens! Of course, nothing wrong with work you do not get fired. However, your failure to appear will show that you "break away from the team." Your presence is necessary, and the absence will not go unnoticed. Also, is it possible to give an extra opportunity for change gossip you bone behind your back ?!

2) Do not lean on the food!

Before coming to the party it is very desirable to have a meal. If this is not possible, light snacks Low calorie snacks   at the party. Not even close to fatty foods, which run the risk of leaving on their clothes. Salty and fatty snacks cause thirst, and this can lead you to the bar. The consequences are unpredictable.

3) Do not lean on the booze!

Alcohol ruined careers longer than any intrigue. You can completely let go of the brakes in the company of friends at a local bar or at home on the couch, but on a night out keep your eyes open and do not lean on cocktails. Remember the golden rule: no more than two cocktails or gin and tonic gin minus. Who knows what you've been drinking vodka instead of mineral water? But if the opposite - notice everything. Hold the glass in his left hand, he did not have time to sweat and cool.

Perhaps you prefer to communicate in the close company of colleagues in the department, but it is better you expand communication. Live and easy communication capabilities provide you with the attention of others. You will remember, and will remember with pleasure. Be sure to get acquainted with colleagues from other departments.

5) Pay attention to the boss!

Take time for a quick chat with the boss (or boss of bosses). In conversation it is better not to touch "production" in its long-awaited increase and low wages. The conversation should be easy, user-friendly and concise (do not take the time your boss). This is the case when the less - the better.

6) Communicate with the "guests from the"!

Being a guest at someone else's party, where you have come in the company of husband / wife - is not much more fun than standing in line. Try to remember as much as possible the names of friends and the wives of your colleagues.

7) Do not talk about business!

Corporate party - not the place to discuss the implementation of the annual plan or the company's personnel policy. In the worst case, you will consider the surrounding sycophant. In the best - just boring and "blue-stocking".

8) Do not gossip!

Leave tidbits and hot news from the life of your colleagues to talk in a cafe the next day (anyone who does not comply with these rules will certainly be a topic of conversation). You do not want to impress the "corporate gossip."

9) Do not flirt!

No matter how you like the new sales employee. Ironically, corporate party - the worst place for tying office romance Office Romance: Cupid's career is not a hindrance? . Leave it to busy giddy ladies who have violated the rule 3 and was the victim of Rule 8 - they have nothing to lose. Everything that happens on a night out, always seeps into the office.

10) Do not go last!

It is usually easiest to observe. If on the invitation stated that the party will last from 6 to 8 pm, go to 20.05. Come on time, communicate, stay for an hour and quietly uskolznite before thanking the organizers for this wonderful evening (even if the "wonderful evening" You'd much rather have spent in the dental chair). And who said it is easy to be a lady?

The observance of these commandments does not guarantee the promotion and colleagues rave reviews, but we promise you one thing for sure - the next day you will be able to come to work with their heads held high, without shame, to look into the eyes of others, and with a clear conscience to relax ... next year.
