Anyone else get “advice” or “opinions” on how to dress when you literally wear the same thing as 90% of your colleagues?

Casual dress code doesn’t apply to us I guess....

I’m a women and I was wearing dark skinny jeans, a loose full coverage long sleeve shirt and black boots. Literally the most basic and classic of casual work appropriate outfits. I’ve seen this and versions of it worn by many others. I think my “fit” is fine, but I’m not rail thin so perhaps I would have to wear baggy jeans so the fit is right? Oh, wait, that would be an issue too....

Maybe they’re implying the fit is not appropriate vs the style? Like too tight, too short?

What’d you wear when they told you that?

Idk what offices y'all are in, but I can walk in wearing whatever I want and nobody bats an eye

Are you in a Midwest office? People around here freak out over the dumbest dress code things. Heaven forbid you have your shirt untucked while in the office with no clients around 😑

Well the code technically states that clothes should not be too tight. Skinny jeans on a not so skinny person are probably tight. If 90% of your colleagues truly are wearing tight jeans, sounds like everyone should be getting that advice

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Hi there

I am in need of some serious advice.

What do I do? I’m terrified.

Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

I've been working at this company for about 3.5 weeks now. Its been great so far.

We have an org chart in our dashboard ATS/HRIS and so I clicked on my first day buddies name just for fun.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?
