Surviving the Office Group Lunch
September 1, 2008
Group lunches are very common in today’s corporate culture. To climb the corporate ladder and also to maintain good and healthy relationships with colleagues it is very essential to be a part of such lunch parties proactively. Generally these kinds of lunch outs are planned on the Friday, the last working day of the week. It gives immense pleasure to the team members of a company to have a break from the routine work of the office. So to participate in these ventures are not only appreciable but also become a mandatory occasion for everybody.
Let’s get few points on how to survive in the office group lunch. It is often found that we never like to get isolated in a group. So the first thing is to understand the pulse and the feeling of the group and start making the group conversation actively. Sometimes it may happen that you may have some problems in mingling with the group and to understand their way of handling things then it may create a problem but when you are in a group lunch keep aside all your feelings and flow with the waves. Then comes the matter of food selection and also manners, etiquettes that need to follow when you are in a group. In an office group lunch it is prudent to try not to order any kind of food especially for yourself. Let’s wait and see what others are ordering and also don’t try to isolate your liking in the group.
We should always take care about the way we are holding spoons and forks and also the way we are taking food. We should try to maintain utmost care while eating so that other people in the group do not have strong feeling about us. While eating, let’s not discuss about any topic which won’t generate much interest in the group.
So when you are in a group lunch create a balance between formal and casual approach so that you can maintain your own dignity and lets not isolate ourselves even though we are not liking a particular situation. Let’s flow with the group and enjoy the lunch!!! So the key work is “be with the group”!!!!!!
