The Tumi outlet in Premium Outlets Milton is great. Good selection and the prices are about 20% cheaper than online or square one. When I was there I got the brown leather Alpha briefcase for about $400

Do corporate discounts stack on top of the Tumi outlet discounts?

Check out Lapis Bard. They have some amazing pieces. You can also go for Mont Blanc if that fits your budget. I find Tumi to be hideous. You’ll be able to add some extra sauce to your look if you are able to find a discounted hugo boss or similar brand at nordstorm or saks off fifth

A partner put me in charge of a specific project that I ran independently. Things were going well. The client began asking me to do more and more, including revamping their system and internal trainings. The client even gave me a litigation matter. Suddenly, the partner became more involved. I was removed from meetings concerning the revamping, my trainings were cancelled, and he started micromanaging. He has now sidelined me from the project and trash talked me to the client. I am very upset.
