If there is one thing I’ve learned- when it comes to work
functions, ALWAYS stay until the end. I
don’t care how boring it is, if everyone else wants to leave early- ALWAYS be
one of the last people to leave.
Especially when there’s alcohol involved.
I got drunk with me CEO and COO this weekend. We had a work dinner, and while everyone else
was packing up their shit and getting ready to jet out the door at the first
opportunity, I was sitting back, enjoying my wine, and preparing for the
show. After everyone jetted, Persephone
and I scouted and found the CEO and went over to say hi to him. Within five seconds he and one of the other
directors invited us to the lobby bar for drinks. Lots of drinks. At first there were just a few of us… and
then more and more people kept meeting us down there. Senior VPs, Board members, Directors, and
eventually, the CEO. Everyone just
hanging out, chit chatting, and buying round after round.
And when people get drunk, you learn things about them. Things they wouldn’t tell you if they were
sober. Things you wouldn’t know if you
had left early.
ALWAYS stay until the end.
Especially if there is alcohol involved.
