Parties in the corporate world
Everybody likes to take off when they are on a party. Parties that are with all your colleagues and bosses are a place where one should tone it down.
It is not a good idea to strip or take five stiff drinks and tell your boss what you really think about him.
Some tips for the corporate party
- Be there. The party may be a drag, but it looks bad boycotting the years big happening.
- Think and behave as being on the job, even if it is a party.
- Don’t take any big chances with your clothes and dress nice (the way in an important meeting)
- Too much alcohol is a common mistake. Free bar can be a temptation if you are bored.
- Don’t eat too much. It is hard to keep up on conversations if you are constantly eating.
- Don’t do too much crazy stuff on the dance floor.
- Don’t just talk shop, it is a nice setting to possibly tell something about yourself. Talk about interesting things and have a bit of fun.
- If your partner is coming a long, prepare him/she who is your colleagues and your boss. Make sure the work gossip stays between you and your partner.
- Leave the party with style, make sure you stay at least 1.5 hours. Make sure you thank your boss and whoever paid for the party.
