How do I socialize with an employee of a competing firm?

Be a Pro

As a member of a graphic design organization, you will find yourself in the position of socializing with an employee of a competing firm. In all instances of communication, do not ever stab anyone in the back, belittle the result of a project or betray your own position by "leaking" information. It will get back to your employer or - worse - to your client. Unless you've known the other person since birth, you have no idea what their connections might be in the design community. Safeguard your own livelihood by being discreet about your work and your clients.
