How not to be fired after a New Year’s corporate party

An unsuccessful celebration of the New Year’s corporate party can lead to rather tragic consequences. Serious business people in responsible positions at a New Year’s party may begin to behave inexplicably and illogically, going off the rails and doing indecent things. So that indecent behavior at a corporate evening does not become a reason for dismissal, learn a few behavioral rules.

The main and most strict rule: do not forget that the New Year’s corporate party is not a friendly gathering, but an office event. Dressing, talking, dancing and behaving at a corporate evening should be decent.

When choosing a New Year’s dress, one must be restrained in one’s desires. At a corporate party, an open defiant outfit with openly exposed large areas of the body looks vulgar. Even if the holiday will take place in a restaurant, give up rhinestones, beads and sparkles. Elegance and restraint should be read in your image. Then you will look worthy and appropriate at the New Year’s corporate table in the company of colleagues.

The issue of drinking alcohol should be taken just as seriously. The biggest mistake a company employee can make is excessive drinking. As a result, behavior becomes inadequate, speech is incoherent, movements are sweeping, and legs are wadded. In a drunken state, employees cease to control their emotions and can throw out all the accumulated negativity on colleagues or on the boss.

However, complete abstinence from alcohol can also cause gossip. Colleagues treat boss drivers, pregnant employees and people with serious illnesses, including those who have recovered from alcoholism, condescendingly and with understanding. The best option is to drink light wine all evening without emptying the glass to the bottom in order to keep yourself and the situation under control.

You should not avoid communication with superiors. If you have a good relationship with management, then having fun together will only improve the general background. In this case, you should not be familiar. The correct behavior of a true lady is a friendly conversation with the chef in a circle of colleagues, one or two dances, if invited, and no liberties and ambiguous hints. Just in case, you should also consider a tactful refusal to the boss in case he tries to cross the line.

If you are not one of the extreme women looking for unplanned drunken sex with a random partner, which will definitely become known to your colleagues immediately after the corporate party, then you should take care of your reputation even before the party starts. Call a taxi in advance, refuse the pushy courtship of colleagues during the celebration, do not cross the line of light flirting and, of course, go home on time and alone.

Participation in a corporate party is an indicator of your merits, tact, professional suitability, ability to relax and find contact with colleagues in an informal setting.

What if the purpose of the relationship is something unconditional for which both the man and the woman could take responsibility? What if this is… the practice of love? Love is what is within us; something for which we are responsible in both good and bad times. Love allows us to focus on our own efforts and responsibilities, as well as to notice the advantages of our partner. Too many people focus on taking something from the relationship. But, for a harmonious relationship, you need to give, take responsibility for your happiness, and then “invest" it in others.
