Approximate behavior
No matter how much you want to devote the entire evening to one person, it will be wiser to evenly distribute your attention among all those present. For the same reason, it is not worth all the evening dancing with one man. In an informal setting, any person becomes more accessible. Cleverly tied conversation on an interesting topic can be placed to you. But, of course, do not go beyond the service subordination. For example, discuss with the boss a new blockbuster, travel and hobby. The superiors also want to show their true human face at least once a year. And among ordinary employees, having communicated, it is often possible to find a brother or sister in reason. The corporate party for many causes Hamlet's syndrome with its age-old: That be or rot to be? .. Indeed, there are more important matters than evening (or night) in the company of colleagues. For example, another series of your favorite series, a SPA-salon or a romantic dinner with a tantric continuation. But! Participation in the joint celebration is mandatory for all employees! Firstly, I will tell you a secret, the authorities sincerely wish to show that we are all the children of one company. This is a highly humanistic step, so do not make the boss regret about the resources spent (this may lead him to the idea that his subordinates, in principle, need to save). Secondly, ignoring the corporate party, you show an indifferent attitude to the team. And this can already affect the relationship with colleagues. Thirdly, you really miss the celebration of life. Just think about it: a wonderful treat, an entertainment program, gifts. And all - completely free of charge and just for you! A corporate party is an incentive to show all colleagues how multifaceted you are: yes, you are not a marketing genius, but how to dance!
"I'm a cog in a corporate car, so I have nothing to do with how the party is going." In my experience I will say that the same response to the pain is the well-known pioneer self-activity. Do not look down on "children's" competitions. According to psychologists, it is from the child inside us that a direct sense of joy and holiday depends. The more active and more passionate you take part in competitions, the more sympathy you get from those around you. Is not it lucky to go home with an honestly won trophy - a chocolate bar or a plasma TV? For the same reason, you should not rest if the organizer or boss wants you to come up with or perform some solo number. One day the boss found out that my colleague was fond of belly dancing, and jokingly asked her to speak at the corporation. She moaned, cursed fate and wondered whether to regard this request as sexual harassment. Of course, this was a very bold assumption: the employees did not perceive her tiny figure (as well as the serial stream of her monthly reports) ... However, when in the light of the soffits she came out in her exotic outfit on the stage and made a pair of graceful hip movements, the whole room fell into a creative ecstasy. She applauded enthusiastically. She was finally recognized: "Yes, of course, she is not a marketing genius, but she's a great dancer!" Well, as you can see, my dear, a corporate party is also a stage from which you can finally be discerned from the very side of the medal, which you, undoubtedly, is golden!
Demonstrate to everyone how to bake for the good of the company. Be able to separate cutlets from flies. Syllogism "work in pleasure - on a holiday as a job" is absolutely exactly a failure. Your colleagues came to a party to rest, and not to work. Therefore, a discussion of acute and even over-the-top production moments will cause a rush of general irritation. It's better if you remember some funny and interesting cases - at least from past corporate parties, and capture (with the help of a camera or a movie camera) the stormy reaction of colleagues to these memories. Sex rules the world: to build one's personal life in one evening ... and at the same time a career! Yes, flirting at work is often a source of energy and an important attribute of psychological comfort in the team. And yet it's worth keeping yourself in hand. On the frank behavior of colleagues on the corporation for years, anecdotal gossip. It is unlikely that in such an atmosphere you can prove that you are a serious person and a qualified employee. A cunning strategy: not to have breakfast and tear yourself away at a stand-up meal, so as not to cross the "calorie boundaries" - it threatens to fail. Rather, you will start sweeping everything off the table.
If you keep something in your hands all the time, it's much less likely that you want to grab something delicious from the table. Therefore, take a handbag to the party or spend the evening twirling a glass of juice in your hands. There are not more than 2 gastronomic delicacies in a plate! According to the University of Cornell, those who use this dietary strategy, in the end are "in the black." For the party they eat 21% less calorie stuff and less often go to the buffet compared to those who like to fill a plate "from A to Z". The dilemma: you are against alcohol, but worry that if you refuse all evening, the surrounding people will be tortured with questions about health problems or alcoholism. Disguise yourself! The juice of dark grapes perfectly "mimics" under red wine, mineral water without gas - under vodka, and light lemonade - for champagne. Yes, most of us at parties consume a few hundred calories more than usual. But you need 3500 calories to recover for a kilogram, - optimistic. Immediately after the party, go back to your healthy eating habits. " And most importantly (by the way, this is not a myth, but a well-known fact!) - those who in 2 weeks scored 5 extra kilos, drop about half during the month, simply by returning to the usual regime.
