When you think of office holiday party faux pas, drinking too much is probably the first one that comes to mind, says Brandon Smith, a career coach and therapist known as The Workplace Therapist.
However, there's another common, but less stigmatized, mistake many people make at their end-of-year celebrations, he says: talking about work.
"I would avoid talking about work at the holiday party," Smith says.
'Use this as an opportunity to socialize about topics that are non-business'Office parties are usually, by design, not in the office.
Anything that is not specific to work projects.
