Company parties give the appearance of volunteering. But this is deceiving.

Christmas parties, especially in professional settings, are known as either soporific mandatory events or drunken parties, and there doesn’t seem to be much in between. This is definitely one It’s the thing where you meet certain people quite unintentionally. And alcohol, often consumed in large quantities, is often not innocent when arguments with co-workers get out of hand again. Here are some questions about company Christmas parties:

Can I miss the Christmas party?

Company parties give the appearance of volunteering. But this is deceiving. These are business events, so participation is at least morally obligatory. Because this is part of the company’s tradition and is important to the boss. Or because management wants to show gratitude for good cooperation at the end of the year. Everyone who doesn’t show up says, “I don’t care.” This can be perceived as aloof or even arrogant, indicates a lack of appreciation and can have a negative impact on the work atmosphere. So, for those who don’t like Christmas parties and/or are shy, the following rule also applies: Put yourself together and look as tidy as possible. Even if there are disagreements at work. Christmas dinner is the wrong place to think about problems.

Do I need to dress extra?

Yes, under certain conditions. You must appear “appropriately dressed.” What does this mean: appropriate to the situation. A fine suit or high-heeled evening shoes look as out of place at a rustic cabin party as faded jeans and sturdy motorcycle boots at a gourmet restaurant.

I’m just going to the company party because our controller is going too. Very sweet. Can I flirt with him?

It’s a borderline incident. Here too you should never forget: Christmas dinner is a professional event; It shapes the individual’s reputation and image. How you carry yourself can be a topic of conversation at work for a long time. “Taking” someone by targeting them goes too far. However, secret flirting is allowed, but only if both are unattached. Being careful means: Avoid very close physical contact. So no erotic dance shows. And it would be strange if the controller suddenly sat on the accountant’s lap. Excessive sensitivity in relationships should also be avoided: constantly being tied together has a privileged effect on others. The evening is supposed to be enjoyed with colleagues.

If you’re going to have an aperitif, then it’s true: It wouldn’t bother anyone if I poured a few more glasses – right?

Social gatherings encourage you to drink more alcohol than you can handle. In a business environment, this can make a disastrous impression. If you stop in time, you will maintain your self-control and prevent yourself from saying or doing things you will regret the next day. If someone goes overboard — be rude at the table, for example — there’s only one thing left to do: formally apologize the next day. And I hope for a second chance.
