Don't be topic of Christmas party gossip, workers warned
19/10/2006
 The office Christmas party is not the place to relieve work tension with a drinking binge, it has been advised.
Instead of becoming the topic of office gossip, it is better to be a gossiper, according to a report by Vancouver 24 hours. The report suggests that sometimes workers need to calm down after work with a "stiff drink or five", but warns that there is a time and a place for letting the hair down. Vancouver 24 Hours also suggests that workplace humour is a positive method for airing grievances. David Granirer, public speaker, counsellor and stand-up comic based in Vancouver, said: "The object is to take 30 seconds or a minute and have people try and out-complain each other." "It's hard to keep a straight face for more than a few seconds," he adds. The newspaper also indicates that screening calls and letting the voicemail take messages is another method workers should use to avoid distractions throughout the day. Recently, the Guardian reported that one in five Britons use emails to gossip about work colleagues.  Click here for more on London's best events and Christmas parties.
