Going to the company office party? You can take advantage of the office   party to have some fun and advance your career or misbehave and stifle your career. Here are some basic rules and guidelines for the do’s and don’ts to endure and flourish the office party.

 

 

Use these tips to make sure you don’t do or say the wrong thing in front of the right people.

 

 

 

Don’t

 

You are not invited
You are not invited!

Bring an Uninvited Guest: 

Smaller parties may mean that spouses and partners are not included in the festivities, even if they have been in years past. If you’re not sure if you can bring a guest, you should definitely ask. If it’s not indicated that a guest is invited, be polite and honor that request.
 

 

 

 

Leave something for others!
Leave something for others too!!

Overindulge: 

Don’t be a glutton and gorge on anything and everything on the table! Take smaller bites of your food on the plate and take time to chew the food. Pause and make small conversation with people willing to talk. An acquaintance one told that go to an office party with a half-full stomach to avoid over eating and leaving nothing for your colleagues.

 

 

 

 

 

I am drunk, hence I can dance.
I am drunk, hence I can dance.

Drink out of your limits:

Trust me, nobody wants to see you dance with two left feet after you have emptied 6-7 glasses of wine. It’s a party yes, but it’s still an extension to the office. You should look and behave like a Know your limits. If you don’t know then please spare everybody else a drama!

 

 

 

 

 

Blah! blah! Blah!
Blah! Blah! Blah!

Talk Business:

Keep business discussions very brief. If you’ve got spouses and partners in the conversation, they often won’t have any idea what you’re going on about, so you’re just being a bore. Don’t pester a co-worker whining about your problems. Leave the office at the office.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dress Provocatively:

Oops!
Oops!

I am sure you have a good physique but you don’t need to publicize that on your corporate event. Don’t wear a strong perfume to suffocate your colleagues with the strong odor and don’t wear something which makes you feel uncomfortable all the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gossip:

*Sigh*
*Sigh*

 

People tend to unwind at the parties, but remember it’s an office party. Don’t blabber stuff which might lead you into trouble. Be mindful of what you say, be it the jokes, one-liners or comments. People hear, remember, spice up the whole thing and then of course talk about it. Before you know, it spreads like a virus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do

 

Get to Know Your Boss and Your Boss’s Boss:

Start with a good handshake!

 

Use this opportunity to interact with those with whom you don’t get the  opportunity to usually interact. Talk to them upon general and current  topics, make a small talk but don’t come across as a “know-it-all”. Take  advantage of the event to impress but don’t end up depressing them.

 

 

 

 

 

Dress according to the nature of the event: 

Look professional.
Look professional.

 

Know the nature of the event. If it’s a cocktail party then dress  according to that maintaining the professionalism. If it a family picnic  day wear casual yet civil dress. You might want to keep your hands off  all the things you wear in a night club. Keep an air of professionalism in  mind when you choose your attire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Participate: 

 

Look interested!

 

Be it a conversation or any activity, contribute to it. Come across as a warm and  easy to converse with person. There might be a lot of gloom and doom around  you but try to banish the negative aura and spread positivity around you. It is  always appreciated.
