Just a question we Went out for a drink after work with work colleagues, there was our manager and 4 women and is 2 blokes, One of our girls was standing by our table and some girls walked passed and brushed passed them just bumping her skightly The mouthy girl in our office was shouting back as they had passed excuse me with her hands on her hips in what seemed a little confrontational I was sober and felt that could have caused a fight or led on to a conflict between others Should the manager have pulled the girl aside and explained that kind of behaviour could have caused a ruckus or involved the team into a conflict maybe in work the next day? I am sure when out with work colleagues you should conduct yourself in a professional manner and you could be disciplined.

I am sure when out with work colleagues you should conduct yourself in a professional manner and you could be disciplined. I worked for a major corporation your behaviour out of office was just as important as in. I know of people who were sacked or disciplined for drunken incidents. My bosses avoided socialising as I grew older and further up the chain of command I understood why. The last thing I wanted to do was sack someone for a non work related incident, well if I wasn't there then I didn't see it. I did my drinking with non work friends so if I did make a fool of myself it never got back. That said this sounds like a minor incident perhaps a quiet word the following day but no further action. One final point office gossip affects your reputation and travels further than you think. We never got involved with our HR so I was shocked when I had to that they knew the characters of my staff both good and bad. Guess who goes first when it comes to redundancy?
