New Year with colleagues: common mistakes

Despite the fact that the New Year with colleagues inFirst of all - a holiday, this does not mean that it will not affect your status (even informal) at work. After all, the New Year's corporate is also a kind of team building, and an official event, which without good reason should not be missed. So one of the mistakes that can be made at the New Year's corporate event is simply not to come to it. Even if you do not really want tobe present at the beginning, stay a little, try to communicate with as many colleagues as possible. And only then go home with a clear conscience - you fulfilled your "civic duty", you can also bow out.

The second error concerns mostly women. It's a dress code. It is clear that the corporate does not usually need to adhere to a strict office dress code, you can dress festive. But still, when meeting the New Year with colleagues, do not try to impress them with the depth of your neckline or the length of your skirt (or rather, its absence). Dress for corporate should be smart, but not too provocative. The same applies to makeup - no "war paint". Of course, if the corporate is a thematic or costume party, you need to dress appropriately, so as not to look like a "black sheep".

The third mistake is to dissolve the language. Celebrating the New Year with colleagues, manyrelax and allow themselves to say ... let's say, not too correct a character. Especially it is promoted by alcohol. Cutting the truth-womb, you risk spoiling the relationship with colleagues, and if your speech reaches the authorities, the result may be serious problems until the dismissal. Therefore, first, watch what, how and to whom you say, secondly, drink less. Even if you want to talk about "painful", try to restrain yourself. If you still did not hold back and talked to someone superfluous, apologize. This is the case when the manifestation of pride and self-esteem can play a cruel joke with you.

If you were silent, like a captive partisan, butheard someone say something, do not rush to make a national property out of it. Firstly, on the spot of the person who inadvertently blurted out something could be you. Secondly, the reputation of the chatterbox (or informer, if you report directly to the authorities) did not benefit anyone. Thirdly, witnesses do not live long. To kill you, of course, they will not kill, but they can bring to dismissal. Having heard or seen something, for your ears or eyes is clearly not intended, pretend that you have not heard anything, have not seen, and in general you were not here.

For some, the New Year with colleagues is an occasiontranslate the relationship with a beautiful employee (a pretty employee) in a more ... intimate plane. But still it is better to try to contain the passion that has gripped you. Usually the pleasure obtained turns into problems. If you can not restrain yourself, then at least do not do it in the office - go after the corporate home to one of you. And do not forget about protection. Realizing the next morning that what happened was a mistake, you do not need to pretend that there was nothing: you risk making yourself an enemy among colleagues. Calmly talk, that between you there is no understatement, and continue to communicate in working mode.

By the way, about women. In some firms on corporate parties, employees come with their second half. So do not flirt with a beautiful stranger, even if she is alone standing in a corner - perhaps her boyfriend just walked away for a bit. And it's good, if Sergei is from the neighboring department, with whom he will "settle" the misunderstanding will not be difficult. But if it turns out that you drove to the girl (wife, daughter) of your boss, you can expect major problems. If you still decide to approach it, keep within the bounds of decency, so that what is happening looks like a secular conversation, and not an attempt to start a relationship.

About dances on the table, fights and damage to state property, we will not even talk - it is clear that this is taboo. Keep yourself in hand, corporate is not a dorm party.

The New Year with colleagues is, of course, not a walk through the minefield, but it is not too relaxing. Keep yourself within the bounds of decency, be correct, polite and benevolent, and the corporate will only improve your relationships at work instead of spoiling them.
