Rules of Engagement

Proper handshake with direct eye contact is okay when greeting new colleagues

Exchanging of business cards after handshake is appropriate, but excessive observation of business card is not appropriate and even offensive.

Good rule of thumb to address someone as Mr., Mrs, Ms. or Miss upon meeting. Wait for approval to get on first name basis.

England has protocol of politeness over directness in America. Learn to incorporate words such as “perhaps”, “could be”, and “possibly” when communicating with coworkers and natives.

Lost in Translation

Your base salary is paid every FORTNIGHT.

Do not refer to anybody of Indian decent a PAKI.

Did you PINCH me? Means something completely different in British slang.

Do you have a FAG?

Don’t ever refer to anyone as a JESSIE.

Sorry mate, he’s been MADE REDUNDANT.
