How to deal with eating with the boss?

Newcomers in the workplace often encounter such problems, such as: going out to eat with the boss for the first time, who will order at the table? Whether to serve the leader and order his own food, or to take care of the boss's preferences and let him order, or to be on the safe side, let his colleagues in the same industry help him order, or to be polite and let the other customers order; How to behave like a newcomer when eating with the boss? Take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, say something flattering, or laugh or answer all the time, or ask before the boss opens his mouth or say it himself, or simply stop eating, similar to an invisible man; How to behave like a newcomer when having dinner with colleagues? Laugh and drink, show your true self, or express a lot of opinions in order to make friends with colleagues, or take the opportunity to listen to others and learn a lot about the inside story in the office, or you are still cautious and firmly believe that if you talk too much, you will lose. These are all problems that newcomers in the workplace often encounter at the dinner table. Here are some real examples to help newcomers solve these problems.

The power to drink is left to the leaders.

Xiao J, an employee of a foreign company, still remembers that the first time I was dragged out by the leader to catch a meal was in the second month of my first job. It happened that the managers of both departments were on business trips. The leader went out to see me, caught who was who, and said that he would accompany the customer at night. At first, it was no big deal. I even secretly congratulated myself on being entrusted with such an important task. But at the dinner table, when the leader turned over the menu for me to order, I panicked.

That was almost the first time I ordered food in my life. I used to eat with friends, and I ate whatever others ordered. It's really sweaty to put this "power of life and death" into your own hands now. I was very entangled at the time? When you see seafood, you are not sure whether to order shark's fin and abalone to match the customer's grade or just order some fresh fish from rivers and seas to fill the scene. A little more expensive, the leader will get a bad face, but if the price drops, it will be too shabby; When I see vegetarian dishes, I don't know if I should order high-priced seasonal dishes and vegetable specialties, but I still want to have a homely taste, which is OK. A little more expensive, the leaders think vegetarian dishes are so expensive. When the company's money is not money, but if it is cheap, customers will be unhappy: what a scandal it is to fool me like this ... I finally ordered a few dishes that I think are safer, and I am already in an anxious state, and I don't know if I am too nervous, and I have passed on my emotional asthma. The leader took it, and I handed in the "ball" smoothly.

I didn't expect that the food I ordered at that time was quite appetizing to everyone. After dinner, the leader also boasted: "I didn't expect you to order well." The first game was so beautiful that I was confident. Let me order at every dinner in the future. I always leave the decision-making power of drinks to the leaders, which means that I have never made my own decisions from beginning to end, and secondly, let the leaders have a final grasp of the dinner budget.

Taking care of the boss is taking care of the overall situation.

When Jerry, the customer representative, worked for less than two months, my boss took me to Guangxi on business. Naturally, I have to have a meal after I finish my work. The food in Guilin really makes my mouth water. Because my father used to be a cook at home, I have a deep understanding of eating this kind of food, but now the boss takes you to eat, which is not good to show off, but it should be shown at the right time. The boss is easy-going, and he will ask my advice from time to time when ordering, so a strong cooking knowledge reserve will come in handy, and he will comment on the dishes modestly and the boss will smile. The boss finished ordering and asked me what else I wanted. I glanced at the menu. No fish. The boss's love for fish is well known throughout the department. As soon as I remembered that there were several fish in Guangxi specialty, I ordered one, and the boss laughed even more. Drinking is inevitable when eating, and everyone knows that the boss can't drink. With a wink, I took over the job of stopping drinking. After dinner, I did a business and did a favor.

Newcomers are hard to confuse.

Chelsea, the public relations manager, knew this trip was not shallow when I first joined the business. After working for a while, a colleague invited me to have dinner after work. Things at the dinner table are the most unpredictable, but we still have to go. At that time, I thought about the countermeasures in my heart: it is difficult to be confused.

Arriving at a famous restaurant in the city, a group of people began to order food with great interest. I have been to this restaurant several times before and learned a few of its signature features, but I still pretended to be modest and said, "Hehe, I am not familiar with this restaurant, please give me some advice." Half an hour after ordering, it's time for everyone to brag about each other. It's okay to tell jokes, but when it comes to principled jokes, newcomers should not say more. God knows if this is an old employee testing your depth. The food came, and a table of people chatted while eating. From the stock market crash to the profit in the shopping mall, it is necessary to interrupt as a newcomer, otherwise people will think that you are pretending to be deep, but more often you nod your head and admire. Senior students always want to rank themselves in front of new people, even if their views are diametrically opposed to yours.

When checking out, don't pay the bill in a hurry. After all, how much does a newcomer only get? The result of rushing to pay the bill can only make the old employees think that you are a big head or a stupid rich man. Just listen to their accounting plan quietly and take out your share.

I think the most important thing to eat with colleagues is to distinguish clearly.

Here are eight ordering skills for newcomers in the workplace: 1. Find the budget. 2. A table consists of soup, hot dishes and cold dishes. 3. Pay attention to the arrangement and combination to avoid repetition of the same elements. Raw materials include livestock, poultry, fish, shrimp, crab and vegetables. 5. master the quantity. For example, for dinner for six people, you can order 3-4 cold cuts, 3-4 stir-fried dishes, plus a big dish and soup, 1-2 snacks. 6. Don't expect every dish you order to leave a deep impression on people. One or two unforgettable dishes are success. 7. Considering the crowd, thick, light, sweet, salty and spicy should be evenly distributed. 8. Choose only one restaurant specialty.

You can't drink too much wine, but you can't help drinking. You must first understand where your degree is.

It's only their leaders' turn to drink with each other.

3, when toasting, you can't talk more, you can simply show your mentality.

4. If the position is humble, remember to add more wine to the leader. Don't just drink for the leader, even if you replace him, pretend that he wants to drink, because he wants to drink instead of for the leader. For example, leader A can't drink enough. Beating around the bush can stop people who want to worship leader A.
