Honestly if it's made of metal / stones, it's just a short necklace. It does not matter. I have work such chokers to work and got promoted just the same with no comments on it. Stop letting others women tell you how to dress.

No girl. Chokers are for stripclubs. Go with a statement necklace.

I find a generally good policy is if you're not sure it's work appropriate, it isn't. Why risk it if there's no need?

Late answer, but first MD I ever worked with at the firm wore a spiked choker to work. This was 8 years ago, and in a very conservative industry (insurance). She was a complete bad-ass and a really competent leader who made partner very very early in her career. Read the situation and determine if and when it's appropriate to wear such things and you'll be fine :)

Even on a classy/professional shirt?!

What if it's gold?

I have a simple gold choker (just a ring, no chain, no embellishments) and think something like that would be fine - but it probably depends on the firm?

Thanks guys! This really helped

I used to think they were always trashy looking until I had a VP of HR who wore a beautiful silver choker all the time. Her jewelry was all beautiful yet simple silver pieces that really defined her style. Even her earrings were simple upside down silver U’s through her large gauge piercings (maybe she was really goth back in the day?). She pulled it off, but few people do. If you’re going to do it you need to own it and the piece needs to be classy.

Would keep to 16 inches.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
