The SunGard Availability Services guide to ‘The Art of Holiday Conversation’ tackles how to approach or rather, avoid inevitable awkward conversations during the holidays.
This includes tactics like avoiding family altogether by bringing piles of work with you to fill up your time, setting up a private in-home gym to partake in more exercising than eating or escaping to the store to pick up a few more supplies.
These may be efficient tactics for avoiding family members who you don’t want to interact with at Christmas, but unfortunately at work, awkward confrontations have to be tackled head-on. Fortunately, SunGard has a guide for IT professionals on how to tackle these situations in the workplace to keep business running smoothly.
