Any recommendations on a very thin briefcase / laptop bag? I’m 5’2 and looking for something that just carry a laptop and notebook (could just use a light tote bag for anything else I need). Thanks!

Highly recommend Kate Spade's business tote. Comes in a ton of colors and has good space.

I recommend checking out handbag brands with a men’s section. I have a slim laptop bag that I love by Ben Minkoff, but that brand has been discontinued. Coach (and Coach Outlet) have some slim leather briefcases or messenger bags. The women’s work bag section tends to be supersized totes, while the men’s section is more slim and minimalistic.

I use a leather tote bag for this. (It fits my laptop and plug, my notepad, has an internal pocket for money/credit cards/ID/phone/lipstick/pens or sometimes I just put my whole little purse in the tote)

This has been on my radar for a while.

We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
