Diane Gottsman emphasized the importance of attending holiday parties, stating, 'I call it mandatory festivities or mandatory fun because it shows that you are engaged with your company. It's telling your boss that you care about your position in the firm - you're a team player.' This perspective highlights how participation communicates professional commitment and camaraderie.
Regarding alcohol consumption, she cautioned, 'This isn't the time to get drunk and lose your credibility, because you still have to go to work on Monday.' This underscores the need for moderation at company events, as behavior can impact your professional image.
Gottsman also advised against feeling pressured to drink, saying, 'If you don't drink for whatever reason, you don't have to give an excuse or a reason.' This allows employees to maintain their comfort level without feeling the need to conform to social expectations.
