AskABoss: Should you bring a date, or is it better to go solo? Can you drink, or should you teetotal it? What are you going to talk about for several hours while you stuff cookies in your mouth and pretend to be delighted to be there?
Photo: The Cut Every December, my in-box fills up with emails from people asking about their office holiday parties.
One caveat here: The higher up in your organization you are, the more expected you might be to make every effort to attend. If you’re very senior, your absence might be more noticed, and you risk coming across as someone who wouldn’t deign to socialize with people lower down the corporate ladder. Rule 5: Don’t talk work . This is supposed to be a party, not a company meeting, so resist any urge to pull your co-workers into detailed conversations about the status of the fundraising report or the plan for next month’s product launch. You’ll annoy people by making them talk about work when they’re trying to relax, and you’ll miss out on the whole purpose of the party, which is to let you socialize with colleagues in a more relaxed setting.
Rule 7: Be cautious if you bring a date. Some office parties are strictly employees only. But if your company welcomes plus-ones, be thoughtful about who you bring. It can be risky to bring someone you just started dating , or someone who will stick to your side all night and require your attention to always be on them.
