Return to article: How to Conduct Yourself at an Office Party
on 11/22/2005 Don't "vent" to your fellow employees ... ESPECIALLY about work. As sure as the sun rises, it will get back to someone in authority at work and can come back to haunt you.
on 1/9/2006 Avoid making shockingly sexist statements at your office party! Good ideas are good ideas, regardless of gender.
on 11/22/2005 No matter how lame the party is, avoid sarcasm and eye-rolling. Participate and get outta there. You will have plenty of time to gripe and laugh with your friends when the party's over.
on 1/13/2006 If your office party runs from 7 until midnight, plan on leaving by 11 PM. This will prevent you from being the last drunken fool whooping it up on the dance floor when the lights come up, or being uncomfortably shoved into a cab among harsh, scornful looks.
on 1/13/2006 Act as if your every move, every comment, is being taped for a video montage at your next company meeting. It will stop you from going too crazy at the open bar (imagine an edited sequence of you getting your fifth drink), and keep you from making snide comments in the restroom.
