TIPS FOR ENJOYING THE SCALED-DOWN OFFICE PARTY

TIPS FOR ENJOYING THE SCALED-DOWN OFFICE PARTY
Think ahead of time of people at work you'd like to know better.
Try not to talk shop. Beforehand, you might think of a few nonwork conversation topics.
When you come in, take a good look around and show you're receptive and open to socializing with the whole group.
Don't head right for the bar or food. Greet a few people.
Don't huddle with a small group of close-knit friends. Reach out with some holiday spirit.
Limit your alcohol intake to two drinks.
Ask people about themselves and listen to what they have to say.
Don't kiss up to the bosses, but don't shy away from them, either.
Don't be the last to leave. The after-party might be starting.
