Newcomers in the workplace often encounter this type of problem, such as: When going out to socialize with the boss for the first time, who will order at the dinner table?

Is it to serve the leader and order the food myself, or to take care of the boss's preferences and let the boss order the food, or to be on the safe side and ask a colleague to help order the food, or to be polite and let the other party's customers order the food?

How should you behave as a newcomer when dining with your boss?

In a more relaxed atmosphere, you try your best to say flattering things. Do you still laugh throughout the whole scene or keep responding, or do you speak only when the boss asks or talks about you? Or do you just listen and keep silent, like an invisible person; with your colleagues

We have dinner together, how should we behave as newcomers?

Even though I laugh and drink, I reveal my true self. In order to make friends with my colleagues, I don’t hesitate to express my many opinions, or I take the opportunity to learn many inside stories of the office while listening to others’ words. I am still more reserved and firmly believe that I will miss the mark if I talk too much.

These are problems that newcomers in the workplace often encounter at the dinner table. The following is a combination of real examples to help newcomers solve this type of problem.

The authority to drink and drink is left to the leader. Xiao J, an employee of a foreign company, still remembers the first time my leader dragged me out to attend a dinner party in my second month of work.

At that time, the managers of both departments happened to be on a business trip. When the leader saw me when he went out, he caught who it was and said that we would go with the client in the evening.

It was not a big deal at first, and I even secretly rejoiced at having such an honor and being entrusted with such an important task. But when it came to the dinner table, when the boss turned the menu in front of me and asked me to order, I panicked.

That was almost the first time I ordered food in my life. When I used to eat with friends, I always ate what others ordered. Now that I have put the "power of life and death" in my own hands, my palms are really sweating.

At that time, I was struggling in my heart. When I saw seafood, I couldn't decide whether to order shark's fin and abalone to match the customer's quality, or just order some river seafood to fill the scene. If it was too expensive, the boss would be embarrassed, but if it was not

The price will also look too shabby; when you see vegetarian dishes, you don’t know whether to order the high-priced seasonal vegetable specialties or the home-cooked ones. If it’s too expensive, the boss wants to order vegetarian dishes too expensive. When the company’s money is not money, but

If I choose the cheaper one, the customer will also be unhappy: How can I be fooled like this... I finally finished ordering a few dishes that I thought were safer in fear, and I was already confused about the direction, and I didn't know where to go.

Rather than being too nervous and wanting to let go of my emotions and take a breather, I handed the menu to the leader and asked him what kind of drink he wanted.

The leader took over smoothly, and I also handed over the "ball" smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the dishes ordered that time were all to everyone's taste. After the meal, the leader even praised us, "I didn't expect you to be so good at ordering."

The first battle was fought so beautifully and it gave me a lot of confidence.

In the future, whenever I was asked to order food at a social dinner, I would always hand over the decision-making power of drinks to my boss. This would show that I was not making my own decisions from beginning to end, and it would also allow my boss to have final control over the dinner budget.

.

The boss takes the whole thing into consideration and takes the overall situation into consideration. When Jerry, the customer representative, had only been working for two months, his boss took me on a business trip to Guangxi. After finishing the work, it was natural to have a meal. Guilin’s delicious food really made me salivate.

Because my father used to be a chef, I am very knowledgeable about eating this stuff. But now it’s the boss who takes you to eat, so it’s not good to be too showy, but you have to show it at the right time.

The boss is easy-going and will ask for my opinion from time to time when ordering, so his strong knowledge of cooking comes in handy. He humbly comments on the dishes, and the boss smiles happily.

After the boss finished ordering, he asked me what else I wanted. I took a look at the menu and saw that there was no fish. The boss was famous for his love of fish. Then I remembered that some of the Guangxi specialties were fish, so I ordered one. The boss laughed.

More meaning.

Drinking is inevitable during meals, and everyone knew that the boss couldn't drink. With a look, I took over the job of holding back the drinks.

After a meal, business and favors were made.

It’s rare for a newbie to be confused. When Chelsea, the public relations manager, first entered the industry, I knew it would be a long journey as soon as I stepped into the office.

After working for a while, a colleague invited me to have dinner with him after get off work.

What happens at the dinner table is the most unpredictable, but you still have to go.

At that time, I had already thought of a countermeasure: it was rare to be confused.

Arriving at a famous restaurant in the city, a group of people started ordering food with great interest.

I had been to this restaurant several times before and had learned a few of its signature features, but I still pretended to be modest and said, "Haha, I'm not familiar with this restaurant. Please give me some advice." After half the experience

After ordering the food in an hour, everyone is bragging to each other while waiting for the food. It's okay to tell jokes, but when it comes to principled jokes, newcomers should not be too talkative. God knows if this is the veteran employee testing your skills.

The food is served, and people at the table are chatting while eating, from the stock market crash to profit sharing in the mall. As a newcomer, it is necessary to interrupt, otherwise people will think you are pretending to be deep, but most of the time, you will nod and praise. Seniors always want to

It's tempting to rely on one's strengths in front of new people, even if their views are diametrically opposed to yours.
