Please advise on this scenerio that has twice happened around my male company president. At the company picnic, I was seated at a picnic table when he approached and introduced his wife to my husband and I. My husband stood to shake hands, I did not. I felt it was difficult while seated at a picnic table to stand. My husband thought I should have stood to shake his hand. The second time I was seated at my desk when approached from behind by the president, my sales manager, (female) and a new sales rep (male) touring our facility. Again, I shook hands while seated...turned in my chair and greeted them. Was I wrong not to stand in both of these incidents? I am certainly not trying to be rude or lazy, I just need to know what I SHOULD be doing!
