Anything wrong with using a suit jacket as a sport coat? Found a couple jackets (suit separates) that look good. I don’t wear my suit jackets without the pants though.

Often a suit jacket will have a different style, fit or fabric than a sports jacket. Therefore they are often easy to recognize as a suit jacket. Wearing them as a sports jacket might make you look cheap. Just buy sports jackets.

Don't see anything wrong. A lot of people do it. Just make sure the jacket, pants, and accessories don't look off - match/contrast where you can.

Blazers instead of sports coats are fine, but would not recommend a suit jacket.

Nah. Thx.

Depends on what kind of suit. At the end of the day it has to look good. If it’s a shiny silver double breasted suit jacket and you pair it with jeans, you may look pretty weird.

In addition to fit and esthetics. Your clothes are signals about you. So make sure you look good esthetically and don’t send confusing messages.

If it’s, say, Armani 2 wool 2-button, then it may look good relaxed.

Nope, all good

My rule of thumb is you can interchange a blazer and a suit coat, but you shouldn’t interchange a sports coat for either. It’s a separate garment for separate situations.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months.
