There comes a time in everybody's busy business career when the
simple lunch is not appropriate, wether you're entertaining a business
guests or dining a loved one, you're salad roll is just not going to
cut it!
Which bread is mine?
Having lunch with the boss can be difficult. If you're like most
people then you will be trying to impress your Boss with your wit
and charm (not to mention all that had earned cash you're about to
spend on him) Protocol
Advisers recommend that you choose not to discuss business
matters in a formal dining environment, but a three hour discussion
about the weather can leave you a little weathered. We've put
together a list of the top five worst things to discuss with your
boss.
- Your political motivation
Most bosses seem a little surprised when you tell them your a
card carrying communist and you're going to liberate his staff
from his evil capitalist regime.
- Your religious beliefs
People can be taken aback when you declare you are god. Best to
keep this one under your hat and pretend to be a minor deity
instead
- The Boss's favourite beer
So he drinks light beer, don't knock it. Drink it yourself and
try and comment on the subtle aromas and colours on the can or
bottle. If you're outside, try to position yourself so that the
sun is directly over your bosses shoulder, this way he won't
notice you wincing every time you take a sip of beer
- The Boss's Partner
Ok he/she might be unbelievably stunning/ugly but there's no
reason to remind the boss he married someone who looks like an Albanian
yak on steroids.
- The Boss's Clothes
They might be a Kmart Cadaver but try to wear the similar
clothes as your Boss one day after they wore them. This works
best if your Boss is of the opposite sex!
