Dancing on tables may seem like a good idea after more than a few drinks, but not necessarily at your holiday office party. That's why Brad Karsh, president of JB Training Solutions came up with a few rules to party by in his column on Advertising Age. Karsh points out how important it is to keep the "office" in the "office holiday party." He says there's a fine line between having a few drinks and letting loose and becoming the talk of the office on Monday morning. Of course, Karsh also points out that you don't need to strictly talk business, either. He writes, "Just remember the fine line between having fun and being stupid. You do have a reputation to protect."
Here are a few of his words of wisdom:
- Alcohol can be both delicious and fun, but it can also be your mortal enemy.
- What happens at the office party does not stay at the office party.
- There's this thing called sexual harassment.
- Don't feel the need to partake in the debauchery.
