Rule to break 9: “Never mix business with pleasure”

We don’t mean that you should walk into the office linking arms with your boss or high fiving the CEO of your company, but sometimes mixing business with pleasure is a good thing. You’re all going out for drinks? Perfect! Once you’ve seen your boss with a few drinks down their neck you realise they are normal after all. This tends to make you more comfortable around them in future which, in turn, urges you to put forward more ideas and work more effectively. Try mixing a little business with pleasure and see if it works for you.
