Office Party Advice
The holiday season is here, and, that means parties both at home and on the workfront.
Quintessential Careers offers advice on Office Party Do’s and Don’ts for keeping that office gathering professional and safe.

I always thought it was bad form to NOT go to the office party. Like it might effect advancement.
My husband and I got snockered at our Christmas party. We went out to his truck to make out. A few HOURS later, I sat up and realized everyone had gone home. And they had to walk right passed the truck to get out of the building.
It’s still humiliating to see people from that party. We had to get married to deal with the disgrace!
